Pharmacology
- Indication
For the controlled reduction of blood pressure during surgery and in the treatment of hypertensive emergencies.
- Pharmacodynamics
Trimethaphan is indicated for production of controlled hypotension during surgery to reduce bleeding into the surgical field and also for rapid reduction of blood pressure in the treatment of hypertensive emergencies, especially in patients with acute dissecting aneurysm, and in the emergency treatment of pulmonary edema in patients with pulmonary hypertension associated with systemic hypertension.
- Mechanism of action
Trimethaphan is a ganglionic blocking agent prevents stimulation of postsynaptic receptors by competing with acetylcholine for these receptor sites. Additional effects may include direct peripheral vasodilation and release of histamine. Trimethaphan's hypotensive effect is due to reduction in sympathetic tone and vasodilation, and is primarily postural.

Taxonomy
- Description
- This compound belongs to the class of organic compounds known as thienoimidazolidines. These are heterocyclic compounds containing a thiophene ring fused to an imidazolidine ring. Thiophene is 5-membered ring consisting of four carbon atoms and one sulfur atom. Imidazolidine is 5-membered saturated ring of three carbon atoms, and two nitrogen centers at the 1- and 3-positions.
