Uniretic Chemical Information

hydrochlorothiazide - The hydrogenated derivative of chlorothiazide, a thiazide diuretic with antihypertensive and anti-urolithic effects. This agent binds to the electroneutral Na-K-Cl cotransporter (NKCC) and thereby impairs Na+, K+ and Cl- reabsorption on the luminal membrane of the early segment in the distal convoluted tubule in the kidney. This leads to an increase in urinary excretion of sodium, chloride, potassium, bicarbonate and water subsequently reducing plasma and extracellular fluid volume leading to a reduction in blood pressure. Hydrochlorothiazide also decreases urinary calcium and uric acid excretion by direct action on the distal tubule.

moexipril hydrochloride - The hydrochloride salt form of moexipril, a prodrug and non-sulfhydryl angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor with antihypertensive activity. Moexipril hydrochloride is hydrolized into its active form moexiprilat, which competitively inhibits ACE, thereby blocking the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II. This prevents the actions of the potent vasoconstrictor angiotensin II and leads to vasodilatation. It also prevents angiotensin II-induced aldosterone secretion by the adrenal cortex, thereby promoting diuresis and natriuresis. Moexipril hydrochloride also directly suppresses renin release.
