lüll Pharmacologic properties of candesartan cilexetil--possible mechanisms of long-acting antihypertensive action Inada Y; Ojima M; Kanagawa R; Misumi Y; Nishikawa K; Naka TJ Hum Hypertens 1999[Jan]; 13 Suppl 1 (ä): S75-80Candesartan cilexetil has shown potent and long-lasting antihypertensive effects in clinical trials and in several animal models of hypertension. In spontaneously hypertensive rats, the duration of the antihypertensive effect of candesartan cilexetil was compared to those of losartan, valsartan, eprosartan, and irbesartan at the same degree of maximal blood pressure reduction. A single oral dose of candesartan cilexetil at 0.3 mg/kg reduced maximal blood pressure by about 25 mm Hg, and the antihypertensive effect of candesartan cilexetil lasted the longest, continuing for more than 1 week, without an effect on circadian rhythm. In a rabbit aortic preparation, candesartan, active form of candesartan cilexetil, decreased the maximal contractile response of angiotensin II. This inhibitory mode was different from that of other angiotensin II-receptor antagonists, and showed a shift to the right in the angiotensin II-induced contraction curve and/or a small depression of the maximal response. In kinetic studies using bovine adrenal cortical membrane and tritiated candesartan, both receptor association and dissociation were found to be slow. The dissociation rate of tritiated candesartan binding (t1/2 = 66 min) was five times slower than that of radiolabelled angiotensin II binding (t1/2 = 12 min). The insurmountable inhibition of candesartan in vascular contraction is the result of its tight binding and slow dissociation from angiotensin II AT1 receptors. These characteristics are related to the potency and long duration of action in candesartan cilexetil.|*Angiotensin Receptor Antagonists[MESH]|*Tetrazoles[MESH]|Angiotensin II/metabolism[MESH]|Animals[MESH]|Antihypertensive Agents/*pharmacology[MESH]|Aorta/drug effects/physiology[MESH]|Benzimidazoles/*pharmacology[MESH]|Biphenyl Compounds/*pharmacology[MESH]|Blood Pressure/drug effects[MESH]|Circadian Rhythm/drug effects[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Hypertension/*drug therapy/metabolism/physiopathology[MESH]|Muscle Contraction/drug effects[MESH]|Muscle, Smooth, Vascular/drug effects/physiology[MESH]|Rabbits[MESH]|Rats[MESH]|Rats, Inbred SHR[MESH]|Receptor, Angiotensin, Type 1[MESH]|Receptor, Angiotensin, Type 2[MESH] |
