About Hydralazine

Hydralazine is a vasodilator medication used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure, particularly in pregnant women. It works by relaxing blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily. Common side effects include headache, fast heart rate, and flushing. Prolonged use may cause a lupus-like syndrome. Hydralazine is not recommended for those with coronary artery disease, rheumatic heart disease, or kidney disease. It is often prescribed with a beta blocker and diuretic to prevent reflex sympathetic stimulation of the heart.

Properties of Hydralazine

Hydralazine is a small molecule with the chemical formula C8H8N4, and a molecular weight of 160.18 g/mol. Hydralazine appears as a white to pale yellow crystalline powder that is soluble in water and alcohol. As a direct-acting vasodilator, hydralazine relaxes the smooth muscle of blood vessels, particularly arterioles, which reduces peripheral vascular resistance and leads to a decrease in blood pressure. Hydralazine is typically administered orally or intravenously and has a relatively short duration of action, with a half-life of 2-4 hours. Common side effects of hydralazine include headache, tachycardia (rapid heart rate), flushing, and dizziness, while long-term use can lead to an autoimmune disorder called hydralazine-induced lupus.

Manufacturing Process of Hydralazine

The manufacturing process for hydralazine hydrochloride typically begins with the preparation of a hydrochloric acid-alcoholic solution. Hydrochloric acid and alcohol are added to a reactor vessel, and the mixture is heated and stirred to ensure complete dissolution of the components. Then the hydrochloric acid-alcoholic solution is added to a reactor containing the hydralazine base. The reaction mixture is then heated and stirred to facilitate the formation of the hydralazine hydrochloride product. The reaction mixture is then cooled, and the hydralazine hydrochloride is isolated. The isolated hydralazine hydrochloride then undergoes purification and is then dried to remove any residual solvents. The dried product is blended with fillers, binders, and disintegrants, to create the desired dosage form. Finally, the finished drug product is packaged in suitable containers, such as glass ampoules or bottles, for distribution and sale.

Synthesis of Hydralazine

Below are the key steps involved in production of hydralazine:

1. Synthesis of Phthalazine:

The synthesis of hydralazine begins with the formation of phthalazine, typically from o-phthalonitrile. The reaction involves hydrolysis and cyclisation.

Chemical Reaction: C6H4(CN)2 + 2H2O → C8H6N2 + 2NH3

o-Phthalonitrile reacts with water to form phthalazine and ammonia.

2. Synthesis of Hydrazinophthalazine (Intermediate):

The next step involves reacting phthalazine with hydrazine hydrate. This step is crucial for introducing the hydrazine group into the molecule, forming hydrazinophthalazine.

Chemical Reaction: C8H6N2 + N2H4·H2O → C8H10N4 + H2O

Phthalazine reacts with hydrazine hydrate to form hydrazinophthalazine and water.

3. Alkylation to form Hydralazine:

The final step in the synthesis of hydralazine is the alkylation of hydrazinophthalazine with 1-chloro-2-methylpropane (isobutyl chloride). This step introduces the isobutyl group, completing the hydralazine molecule.

Chemical Reaction: C8H10N4 + ClCH2C(CH3)2 → C12H16N4·HCl + HCl

Hydrazinophthalazine reacts with isobutyl chloride to form hydralazine hydrochloride and hydrochloric acid.

Applications and Drivers of Hydralazine

Hydralazine is a vasodilator medication primarily used to treat severe or life-threatening hypertension (high blood pressure), particularly in pregnant women. Hydralazine is commonly used in all trimesters of pregnancy and is has also been used in combination with isosorbide dinitrate to treat heart failure in addition to standard therapies, to improve survival. However, the World Health Organisation's Essential Medicine List recommends using hydralazine for the management of pregnancy-induced hypertension only. The rising number of pregnancies worldwide can increase the prevalence of hypertension in women, further increasing the demand for hydralazine.
