Synergism of telmisartan and amlodipine on blood pressure reduction and cardiorenal protection in hypertensive rats.
JOURNAL OF CARDIOVASCULAR PHARMACOLOGY(2011)
摘要
Aim: This study was designed to investigate the effects of telmisartan and amlodipine on reduction of blood pressure (BP), myocardial hypertrophy, and renal injury in hypertensive rats. Method: In acute experiments, the BP was measured in conscious freely moving rats. Spontaneously hypertensive rats were treated with intragastric administration of amlodipine (1, 2, 4 mg/kg), telmisartan (4, 8, 12, 16, 20 mg/kg), and their different combinations (4 + 4, 2 + 4, 4 + 8, 4 + 12, 1 + 4, 2 + 8, 4 + 16, 2 + 12, 1 + 8, 2 + 16, 2 + 20, 1 + 12, 1 + 16, 1 + 20 mg/kg). The probability sum test (q test) was used to evaluate the synergistic action on BP reduction. In two-kidney, one-clip rats, the effects of amlodipine (1 mg/kg), telmisartan (6 mg/kg) and their combination on BP reduction were observed. In the chronic study, spontaneously hypertensive rats were treated with amlodipine (1 mg/kg), telmisartan (6 mg/kg), and their combination for 4 months. Histopathologic examinations were performed after the determination of BP and BP variability. Results: There is a synergistic interaction between amlodipine and telmisartan on BP reduction. The optimal dose ratio was found at 1:6. The synergistic effect of this dose ratio (1:6) was also seen in two-kidney, one-clip rats. Long-term treatment with this combination results in a beneficial effect on the reduction of BP and BP variability. The end-organ damage, including myocardial hypertrophy, glomerular atrophy, and fibrosis, was significantly attenuated by this combination. Conclusion: The optimal dose ratio of amlodipine and telmisartan on BP was 1:6. This combination is beneficial for the BP and BP variability reduction and end-organ damage prevention.
