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.

Olmesartan medoxomil, a prodrug, is hydrolyzed to olmesartan during absorption from the gastrointestinal tract. Olmesartan is a selective AT1 subtype angiotensin II receptor antagonist. Olmesartan blocks the vasoconstrictor effects of angiotensin II by selectively blocking the binding of angiotensin II to the AT1 receptor in vascular smooth muscle. Oral olmesartan medoxomil 10-40 mg once daily is recommended for the treatment of adult patients with hypertension, this dosage has consistently helped achieve a double-digit reduction both in systolic and diastolic blood pressure, a reduction which is maintained for one year. Extensive clinical evidence from several large well designed trials and the clinical practice setting has confirmed the antihypertensive efficacy and good tolerability profile of oral olmesartan medoxomil, as monotherapy in patients with hypertension. Olmesartan medoxomil has shown no clinically important pharmacokinetic interactions with digoxin, warfarin or antacid (aluminium magnesium hydroxide). Adverse events were infrequent in clinical studies of olmesartan medoxomil and were similar to those attributed to placebo.

Faropenem medoxomil is an ester prodrug derivative of the beta-lactam antibiotic faropenem. The prodrug form of faropenem offers dramatically improved oral bioavailability and leads to higher systemic concentrations of the drug. Faropenem medoxomil is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that is highly resistant to beta-lactamase degradation. It was under development for the treatment of acute bacterial sinusitis, community-acquired pneumonia, acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis, and uncomplicated skin and skin structure infections.

Olmesartan Lactone Impurity (Olmesartan EP Impurity B) is a cyclic ester impurity in commercial preparations of olmesartan medoxomil. Olmesartan medoxomil is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist, which is indicated for the treatment of hypertension.
