Risks associated with permanent discontinuation of blood pressure-lowering medications in patients with type 2 diabetes
Conclusion: Discontinuation of study medication is a potent risk marker for identifying high-risk patients. Thus it is important that clinicians seek to identify such patients early after discontinuation of treatment. Although some short-term residual effects of previous active treatment can be expected, patients who discontinue require further urgent investigation and management. (Source: Journal of Hypertension)

Simultaneous high-throughput determination of interaction kinetics for drugs and cyclodextrins by high performance affinity chromatography with mass spectrometry detection.
In this study, a HPAC with mass spectrometry detection (HPAC-MS/MS) was employed to determine the drug-cyclodextrin (CD) interaction kinetics with low sample loading quantity (<10 ng per injection for single compound) and high-throughput yield as twenty drugs determined in one injection. The kd,app measured by HPAC-MS/MS approach were 0.89 ± 0.07, 4.34 ± 0.01, 1.48 ± 0.01 and 7.77 ± 0.04 s(-1) for ketoprofen, trimethoprim, indapamide and acetaminophen, with kd,app for acetaminophen consistent with that from the HPAC method with UV detector in our previous studies. For twenty drugs with diverse structures an...

13C solid-state NMR analysis of the most common pharmaceutical excipients used in solid drug formulations Part II: CP kinetics and relaxation analysis
Publication date: 15 April 2016 Source:Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Analysis, Volume 122 Author(s): Dariusz Maciej Pisklak, Monika Zielińska-Pisklak, Łukasz Szeleszczuk, Iwona Wawer Excipients used in the solid drug formulations differ in their NMR relaxation and 13C cross-polarization (CP) kinetics parameters. Therefore, experimental parameters like contact time of cross-polarization and repetition time have a major impact on the registered solid state NMR spectra and in consequence on the results of the NMR analysis. In this work the CP kinetics and relaxation of the most common pharmaceutical e...

Correction of endothelial dysfunction in patients with COPD and concomitant arterial hypertension
Conclusions: Endothelial dysfunction were observed in studied patients with COPD and concomitant hypertension. Indapamide SR treatment in complex therapy of COPD and concomitant hypertension leads to a significant reduction of endothelial dysfunction markers (endothelin-1, sP-selectin, ICAM-1), which indicates the presence of pleiotropic effects of indapamide.

Red cell distribution width in type 2 diabetic patients
Conclusion: RDW, which is recently considered as an inflammatory marker with a significant predictive value of mortality in diseased and healthy populations, is significantly higher in diabetic patients than healthy subjects and is particularly higher in uncontrolled glycemia. None of the studied hypoglycemic agents showed a significant effect on RDW. Diabetic hypertensive patients receiving antihypertensive therapy in the form of indapamide or the combined therapy of thiazides and angiotensin receptor blockers have RDW values comparable to those of the healthy population. Keywords: red cell distribution, platelet, diabet...

Dissolution profiles of perindopril and indapamide in their fixed-dose formulations by a new HPLC method and different mathematical approaches.
Abstract A new HPLC method was introduced and validated for simultaneous determination of perindopril and indapamide. Validation procedure included specificity, sensitivity, robustness, stability, linearity, precision and accuracy. The method was used for the dissolution test of perindopril and indapamide in three fixed-dose formulations. The dissolution procedure was optimized using different media, different pH of the buffer, surfactants, paddle speed and temperature. Similarity of dissolution profiles was estimated using different model-independent and model-dependent methods and, additionally, by princ...

Hydrochlorothiazide is not the most useful nor versatile thiazide diuretic
Purpose of review: To determine usefulness and versatility of hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) relative to other thiazide diuretics in the treatment of hypertension. Recent findings: HCTZ was found to be less potent in lowering blood pressure (BP) than other thiazide diuretics, including chlorthalidone (CTD) and bendroflumethiazide. A recent meta-analysis also suggested HCTZ (12.5–25 mg daily) to be less potent than antihypertensive agents from several other classes, including angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin-receptor blockers, and calcium antagonists. The risk of hyponatremia, hypokalemia, and hyperuric...

Effects of a selective aldosterone blocker and thiazide-type diuretic on blood pressure and organ damage in hypertensive patients.
In conclusion, eplerenone and indapamide were similarly effective in lowering office and home BPs in hypertensive patients treated with CCBs and ARBs. Eplerenone may exert more favorable effects on arterial stiffness and oxidative stress. PMID: 25992488 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] (Source: Clinical and Experimental Hypertension)
