TLDR
The evidence that the antihypertensive effect of urapidil is due to a systemic vasodilatation with no change in cardiac output, no tachycardia and no under-perfusion of vital organs is reviewed.
Abstract
This paper reviews the evidence that the antihypertensive effect of urapidil is due to a systemic vasodilatation with no change in cardiac output, no tachycardia and no under-perfusion of vital organs. Urapidil does not impair the cardiovascular control exerted by arterial baroreceptors and cardiopulmonary receptors. This is probably the reason why no orthostatic hypotension and derangement in blood pressure homeostasis follows its administration.

Renal hemodynamic and neurohumoral responses to urapidil in hypertensive man

TL;DR: Urapidil, given intravenously, has an immediate blood pressure lowering effect associated with a fall in renal vascular tone and an increase in renal perfusion, and both the sympathetic system and the renin-angiotensin system are stimulated, although the latter only to a mild degree.

Basic pharmacology of alpha-adrenoceptor antagonists and hybrid drugs.

TL;DR: Urapidil's obvious central hypotensive activity, which is caused by an unusual, so far unknown mechanism, is an interesting feature, which may contribute to the absence of reflex tachycardia.
