HIDE SMILES / InChI
Irbesartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) used mainly for the treatment of hypertension. It was developed by Sanofi Research (now part of Sanofi-Aventis). It is marketed under the trade names Aprovel, Karvea, and Avapro. AVAPRO is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) indicated for: • Treatment of hypertension, to lower blood pressure. Lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events, primarily strokes and myocardial infarctions. • Treatment of diabetic nephropathy in hypertensive patients with type 2 diabetes, an elevated serum creatinine, and proteinuria. Irbesartan is a specific competitive antagonist of AT1 receptors with a much greater affinity (more than 8500-fold) for the AT1 receptor than for the AT2 receptor and no agonist activity.

CNS Activity

Curator's Comment: Studies in animals indicate that radiolabeled irbesartan weakly crosses the blood-brain barrier and placenta.

Curator's Comment: Contraction responses to increasing concentrations of Ang I (1 nM-1 uM) were evaluated in organ baths in the presence of captopril (10 uM-1 mM) with or without a chymase inhibitor (1 uM soybean trypsin inhibitor), or irbesartan (0.1 nM-uM), in internal mammary arteries from 25 patients undergoing coronary bypass surgery.
0.1 uM irbesartan completely blocked the maximum response to Ang I (from 45.8 +/- 6.7% to 1.9 +/- 1.9%, p < 0.001)
