Hydrazinophthalazines are a class of antihypertensive drugs including:

  • Hydralazine[1]
  • Dihydralazine[1]
  • Cadralazine
  • Endralazine

Chemically, the latter two aren't phthalazines; but they are classified as such in the World Health Organization's Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical Classification System.[2]
