angiotensin II receptor
Azilsartan mepixetil is a prodrug of azilsartan, which targets the angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor. It acts as an antagonist of the angiotensin II receptor. By blocking the AT1 receptor, it prevents the vasoconstrictive and aldosterone-releasing effects of angiotensin II, leading to vasodilation and reduced blood pressure. |
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, azilsartan mepixetil is a prodrug that is converted to its active form, azilsartan. Azilsartan demonstrates high potency and prolonged receptor binding at the AT1 receptor. It exhibits effective 24-hour blood pressure control in pharmacological models. The compound shows high affinity for the angiotensin II receptor and effective antagonism of angiotensin II-mediated effects.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, azilsartan mepixetil demonstrates stronger and longer-lasting blood pressure-lowering effects. It produces a more pronounced and prolonged effect on lowering heart rate. It has a higher level of safety compared to other agents. It is being studied for its potential benefits in heart failure, kidney protection, and metabolic syndrome.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro receptor binding assays for azilsartan mepixetil typically involve competitive radioligand binding using membrane preparations expressing human AT1 receptors. Membranes are incubated with radiolabeled ligands and varying concentrations of the compound. IC50 values are calculated from displacement curves. Functional activity is assessed by measuring downstream signaling such as calcium mobilization or cAMP accumulation.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cell-based assays for azilsartan mepixetil involve culturing cells expressing recombinant AT1 receptors (e.g., CHO or HEK-293 cells). Cells are treated with the compound at concentrations ranging from 0.1 nM to 10 µM. Receptor activation is measured by downstream signaling readouts. The prodrug conversion to azilsartan may be evaluated in cell-based systems. Cytotoxicity is assessed by standard viability assays.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal experiments for azilsartan mepixetil typically involve administration to hypertensive rodent models via oral gavage. Blood pressure is measured using telemetry or tail-cuff methods. Heart rate is monitored. Renal function and cardioprotective effects are evaluated by measuring biomarkers and histopathology. Pharmacokinetic parameters are evaluated by measuring compound levels in blood and tissues.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Azilsartan mepixetil (molecular weight 678.69, formula C36H34N6O8) is a prodrug of azilsartan. It is orally active and has good bioavailability. It is metabolized to azilsartan, which has a long half-life supporting once-daily dosing. Detailed pharmacokinetic parameters are available in clinical pharmacology literature. It demonstrates effective 24-hour blood pressure control.
|

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
