A neuropeptide with diverse biological activities
Hydralazine-d4 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of hydralazine by GC- or LC-MS. Hydralazine is an orally bioavailable vasodilator and antihypertensive agent.1 It decreases DNA methylation in Jurkat cells at a concentration of 10 μM and inhibits extracellular and intracellular production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in rat macrophages activated by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate at a concentration of 100 μM.2,3 Hydralazine (100 μM) also decreases nitric oxide production and expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in rat macrophages activated by LPS and interferon-γ (IFN-γ).3 It reduces contraction of rat aortic arterial strips induced by potassium and norepinephrine .4 Hydralazine (2.6 mg/kg) lowers mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) by 41.76% in conscious rats.5 Formulations containing hydralazine have been used in the treatment of high blood pressure and heart failure.
