Description
Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23487168

TAK-536 (generic name: azilsartan) is an angiotensin II type 1 receptor blocker, discovered by Takeda and its mechanism of action is to lower blood pressure by inhibiting action of a vasopressor hormone Angiotensin II. Angiotensin II type 1 receptor antagonists have become an important drug class in the treatment of hypertension and heart failure. TAK-536 is in phase III clinical trial for treatment hypertension. This drug also known as active metabolite of the prodrug azilsartan medoxomil (also known as azilsartan kamedoxomil), but in some countries azilsartan rather than its prodrug is used for oral treatment.

CNS Activity

Curator's Comment: In rats, minimal azilsartan-associated radioactivity crossed the blood-brain barrier.

Approved Use

Indicated for the treatment of hypertension to lower blood pressure. Lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events, primarily strokes and myocardial infarctions. Edarbi may be used either alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents.

Comment: O-dealkylation to form Azilsartan M-II primarily by CYP2C9, Incubation of 14C-AZILSARTAN with microsomes from baculovirus-infected insect cellsexpressuing human CYP isoforms (elimination and formation (M-1 & M-II) rate); Human liver microsomes (16 donors); Clearance of Azilzartan (40 mg QD on Days 1 & 10) is reduced when co-administered with fluconazole (200 mg QD on Days 4-10), a CYP 2C9 inhibitor. This is evident from the ~ 40% increase in AUC, but only ~ 14% increase in Cmax. However, this is not of clinical significance given the flat D-R relationship for Azilzartan and the absence of serious adverse events.; Systemic exposure to glyburide (5 mg QD on DAy 8) is not affected by Azilzartan (40 mg QD for 8 days).
