title: [Mechanism of action of benzothiadiazides in arterial hypertension: the energetic theory].
abstract: Hydrochlorothiazide, tienilic acid, chlorthalidone and indapamide inhibit membrane adenylate cyclase of pigeon erythrocytes in vitro. This effect is related to the action of these substances on the interface between the membranous phospholipids and adenylate cyclase. Indapamide with its strong lipophic properties, has a more specific action on the intracellular regulation of adenylate cyclase. The relationship between the inhibition of adenylate cyclase and the antihypertensive effects of these drugs is discussed.
