Description

Valsartan (DIOVAN®) is a tetrazole derivative, and specific angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor blocker that is indicated for the treatment of hypertension, to lower blood pressure. Angiotensin II is formed from angiotensin I in a reaction catalyzed by angiotensin-converting enzyme. Angiotensin II is the principal pressor agent of the renin-angiotensin system, with effects that include vasoconstriction, stimulation of synthesis and release of aldosterone, cardiac stimulation, and renal reabsorption of sodium. Valsartan (DIOVAN®) blocks the vasoconstrictor and aldosterone-secreting effects of angiotensin II by selectively blocking the binding of angiotensin II to the AT1 receptor in many tissues, such as vascular smooth muscle and the adrenal gland. Its action is therefore independent of the pathways for angiotensin II synthesis.

CNS Activity

Curator's Comment: LBQ657 (an LCZ696 metabolite) achieves CSF concentrations sufficient to inhibit neprilysin, but LCZ696 did not cause changes in CSF levels of aggregable Abeta isoforms (1-42 and 1-40) compared with placebo

Primary
ENTRESTO

Approved Use

ENTRESTO is a combination of sacubitril, a neprilysin inhibitor, and valsartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker, indicated to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death and hospitalization for heart failure in patients with chronic heart failure (NYHA Class II-IV) and reduced ejection fraction. ENTRESTO is usually administered in conjunction with other heart failure therapies, in place of an ACE inhibitor or other ARB.

DIOVAN

Approved Use

Diovan 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 (1.1) Treatment of heart failure (NYHA class II-IV); Diovan significantly reduced hospitalization for heart failure (1.2) Reduction of cardiovascular mortality in clinically stable patients with left ventricular failure or left ventricular dysfunction following myocardial infarction (1.3)
