4 Drug and Medication Information
4.1 Drug Indication

Hydralazine is indicated alone or adjunct to standard therapy to treat essential hypertension. A combination product with isosorbide dinitrate is indicated as an adjunct therapy in the treatment of heart failure.


5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 Pharmacology

Hydralazine interferes with calcium transport to relax arteriolar smooth muscle and lower blood pressure. Hydralazine has a short duration of action of 2-6h. This drug has a wide therapeutic window, as patients can tolerate doses of up to 300mg. Patients should be cautioned regarding the risk of developing systemic lupus erythematosus syndrome.


5.2 MeSH Pharmacological Classification

Antihypertensive Agents

Drugs used in the treatment of acute or chronic vascular HYPERTENSION regardless of pharmacological mechanism. Among the antihypertensive agents are DIURETICS; (especially DIURETICS, THIAZIDE); ADRENERGIC BETA-ANTAGONISTS; ADRENERGIC ALPHA-ANTAGONISTS; ANGIOTENSIN-CONVERTING ENZYME INHIBITORS; CALCIUM CHANNEL BLOCKERS; GANGLIONIC BLOCKERS; and VASODILATOR AGENTS. (See all compounds classified as Antihypertensive Agents.)


Vasodilator Agents

Drugs used to cause dilation of the blood vessels. (See all compounds classified as Vasodilator Agents.)

C02DB02 - Hydralazine


5.5 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Absorption

Taking oral hydralazine with food improves the bioavailability of the drug. An intravenous dose of 0.3mg/kg leads to an AUC of 17.5-29.4M\*min and a 1mg/kg oral dose leads to an AUC of 4.0-30.4M\*min. The Cmax of oral hydralazine is 0.12-1.31M depending on the acetylator status of patients.


Route of Elimination

<10% of hydralazine is recovered in the feces; 65-90% is recovered in the urine.


Volume of Distribution

The volume of distribution is 1.340.79L/kg in congestive heart failure patients and 1.980.22L/kg in hypertensive patients.


Clearance

The majority of hydralazine clearance is extrahepatic- 55% for rapid acetylators and 70% for slow acetylators. The average clearance in congestive heart failure patients is 1.770.48L/kg/h, while hypertensive patients have an average clearance of 42.78.9mL/min/kg.


5.6 Metabolism/Metabolites

Acetylation is a minor metabolic pathway for hydralazine; the major pathway is hydroxylation followed by glucuronidation. There are 5 identified metabolic pathways for hydralazine. Hydralazine can be metabolized to phthalazine or -ketoglutarate hydrazone. These metabolites can be further converted to phthalazinone or hydralazine can be metabolized directly to phthalazinone. Hydralazine can undergo a reversible converstion to the active hydralazine acetone hydrazone. Hydralazine is spontaneously converted to the active pyruvic acid hydrazone or the pyruvic acid hydrazone tricyclic dehydration product, and these metabolites can convert back and forth between these 2 forms. Hydralazine can be converted to hydrazinophthalazinone, which is further converted to the active acetylhydrazinophthalazinone. The final metabolic process hydralazine can undergo is the conversion to an unnamed hydralazine metabolite, which is further metabolized to 3-methyl-s-triazolophthalazine (MTP). MTP can be metabolized to 9-hydroxy-methyltriazolophthalazine or 3-hydroxy-methyltriazolophthalazine; the latter is converted to triazolophthalazine.


Hydralazine has known human metabolites that include hydralazine N-acetyl.

5.7 Biological Half-Life

Hydralazine has a half life of 2.2-7.8h in rapid acetylators and 2.0-5.8h in slow acetylators. The half life in heart failure patients is 57-241 minutes with an average of 105 minutes and in hypertensive patients is 200 minutes for rapid acetylators and 297 minutes for slow acetylators.


5.8 Mechanism of Action

Hydralazine may interfere with calcium transport in vascular smooth muscle by an unknown mechanism to relax arteriolar smooth muscle and lower blood pressure. The interference with calcium transport may be by preventing influx of calcium into cells, preventing calcium release from intracellular compartments, directly acting on actin and myosin, or a combination of these actions. This decrease in vascular resistance leads to increased heart rate, stroke volume, and cardiac output. Hydralazine also competes with protocollagen prolyl hydroxylase (CPH) for free iron. This competition inhibits CPH mediated hydroxylation of HIF-1, preventing the degradation of HIF-1. Induction of HIF-1 and VEGF promote proliferation of endothelial cells and angiogenesis.
