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.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
The recommended starting dose of ENTRESTO, previously known as LCZ696, is 49/51 mg (sacubitril/valsartan) twice-daily. Double the dose of ENTRESTO after 2 to 4 weeks to the target maintenance dose of 97/103 mg (sacubitril/valsartan) twice-daily, as tolerated by the patient.
Route of Administration: Oral
In Vitro Use Guide
30 nM to 1 uM valsartan (LCZ696 component) in the presence of 10 uM LBQ657 (Sacubitril (LCZ696 component) metabolite) demonstrate anti-fibrotic and anti-hypertrophic effects on rat cardiac fibroblasts and cardiomyocytes, respectively, cultured with 100 nM angiotensin II
