Dihydralazine (0.1 mg/kg), injected intravenously into male Sprague-Dawley rats, caused a decrease in mean arterial blood pressure and an increase in renal plasma flow, while urine volume remained unchanged. Dihydralazine had no effect on kallikrein excretion in the urine and on kallikrein activity in the renal cortex. No correlation was found between renal kallikrein and either renal plasma flow or mean arterial blood pressure. The excretion of kinins in the urine rose markedly after the administration of dihydralazine; no correlation between urinary kinins and urinary or renal kallikrein was observed. Dihydralazine had no influence on the kininogen content of blood-free renal cortex. The enzymatic activity of kininase II in renal cortex was not impaired by dihydralazine. It is suggested that the increased formation of kinins within the kidney could be involved in the vasodilating and blood pressure lowering effect of dihydralazine.
