Mopidralazine (hydrochloride)

Mopidralazine hydrochloride (MDL-899) (Compound 30) is an orally active antihypertensive agent. Mopidralazine hydrochloride significantly reduces systolic blood pressure (ED50 = 1.94 mg/kg) in spontaneously hypertensive rats models. Mopidralazine hydrochloride has a slower onset of action but a longer duration of action and has a significantly smaller effect on increasing heart rate in canine model of renal hypertension. Mopidralazine hydrochloride can be used for the research of hypertension[1].
