| Summary: | Modern concept of arterial hypertension (AH) combined therapy is based on using agents with various pharmacotherapeutic mechanisms of action. Despite the impressive number of clinical trials conducted, the real-life basis for combined therapy is mostly clinician’s empirical experience. Computer program and database PASS (Prediction of Activity Spectra of Substances; website http://www.ibmc.msk.ru/PASS) gives an opportunity to predict potential activity spectra for specific chemical structures. PASS could be used for assessment of: a) main pharmaco-therapeutic effects; b) biochemical mechanisms underlying these effects; c) possible adverse (toxic) effects. Using this approach for some antihypertensives (lisinopril, amlodipine, trandolapril, etc.) provided information on medication action spectra and cellular-biochemical mechanisms. Reliable prognostic data were obtained for additional, unstudied before, pharmaco-therapeutic effects. These vasodilatation-independent effects are linked to chemical structure specifics. PASS program provides clinicians with unique information on potential medication polymodality and adverse effects in treating AH and its complications. |
