Abstract
Tiodazos in (BL5111) is a structural analogue of prazos in that is currently being evaluated for clinical efficacy in the treatment of hypertension. Like prazosin, tiodazos in was a potent competitive postsynaptic alpha adrenergic receptor antagonist. Although tiodazos in exhibited an affinity for the postsynaptic alpha receptor that was 17 times lower than prazos in, tiodazos in was still 4 times more potent than phentolamine in this regard. Under in vitro conditions, tiodazos in, like prazos in, also produced a noncompetitive antagonism of alpha adrenergic receptors in the portal vein, did not show marked affinity for presynaptic alpha adrenergic receptors, and lacked any measurable direct vasodilator effects (nonreceptor mediated) independent of alpha adrenergic receptor blockade.Keywords
