Valsartan

Angiotensin II is a peptide hormone which regulates blood pressure and fluid balance, contributing to hypertension, atherosclerosis, left ventricular hypertrophy, myocardial infarction, and heart failure. Valsartan is a nonpeptide angiotensin II receptor antagonist of the angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor (IC50 = 2.7 nM). It is 20,000-fold selective for AT1 over AT2 and, unlike some other AT receptor antagonists, does not alter peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) activity in vitro. In vivo, valsartan (30 mg/kg) increases cardiac output and reduces left ventricular fibrosis in a model of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction in mice with streptozotocin-induced diabetes. Formulations containing valsartan have been used in the treatment of hypertension and heart failure.Formal Name: N-(1-oxopentyl)-N-[[2'-(2H-tetrazol-5-yl)[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl]methyl]-L-valine.
