Product Description
Azilsartan medoxomil monopotassium (TAK-491; TAK491; Edarbi), the monopotassium salt of Azilsartan medoxomil which is a prodrug of azilsartan, is an angiotensin II receptor (AT1) type 1 antagonist approved as an anti-hypertensive medication to lower blood pressure.
Azilsartan medoxomil monopotassium (TAK 491) (CAS 863031-24-7) is the monopotassium salt of azilsartan medoxomil, a prodrug for azilsartan. It is an orally administered angiotensin II receptor type 1 (AT1) antagonist with an IC50 of 0.62 nM, used in the treatment of adults with essential hypertension. Azilsartan medoxomil is a prodrug that is hydrolyzed to the active moiety, azilsartan (TAK-536), during absorption. It is marketed as an anti-hypertensive medication to lower blood pressure.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
AT1 Receptor (IC50 = 2.6 nM )
Azilsartan medoxomil monopotassium targets the angiotensin II receptor type 1 (AT1). It is a potent antagonist with an IC50 of 0.62 nM. By blocking the AT1 receptor, it prevents the binding of angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor, thereby inhibiting the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). This leads to vasodilation, reduced aldosterone secretion, and ultimately, a decrease in blood pressure.
ln Vitro
In vitro, in aortic endothelial cells, azilsartan inhibited cell proliferation at concentrations as low as 1 μmol/l, whereas valsartan showed little or no antiproliferative effects at concentrations below 10 μmol/l. Antiproliferative effects of azilsartan were also observed in cells lacking AT1 receptors. This suggests that azilsartan may have AT1-independent effects, which could contribute to its unique pharmacological profile.
ln Vivo
In vivo, oral administration of 0.1-3 mg/kg olmesartan medoxomil reduced blood pressure; however, only the two highest doses significantly reduced blood pressure 24h after dosing. ED(25) values were 0.41 and 1.3 mg/kg for azilsartan medoxomil and olmesartan medoxomil, respectively. Over a 24-week treatment period, azilsartan medoxomil showed sustained BP-lowering efficacy, with the reduction in 24-hour mean SBP significantly greater with azilsartan medoxomil 40 or 80 mg once daily than with valsartan 320 mg once daily.
Enzyme Assay
For cell-free assays, the binding affinity of azilsartan to the AT1 receptor can be measured using radioligand binding assays. Membrane preparations from cells expressing the AT1 receptor are incubated with a radiolabeled ligand specific for the AT1 receptor and varying concentrations of azilsartan or its active metabolite. The IC50 value, representing the concentration required to inhibit 50% of the specific binding, is calculated from a competition binding curve.
Cell Assay
For in vitro cellular assays, the antagonistic activity of azilsartan at the AT1 receptor can be assessed in cells expressing the receptor. Cells are treated with azilsartan and stimulated with angiotensin II. The inhibition of angiotensin II-induced responses, such as calcium mobilization or downstream signaling (e.g., ERK phosphorylation), is measured. The IC50 for receptor antagonism is calculated from dose-response curves.
Animal Protocol
For in vivo studies, azilsartan medoxomil monopotassium is typically administered orally in animal models of hypertension, such as spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) or angiotensin II-infused models. Blood pressure is measured at various time points using telemetry or tail-cuff methods. Its efficacy is determined by comparing the blood pressure reduction in treated animals to that in a control group. Pharmacokinetic parameters are estimated from plasma samples analyzed by LC-MS/MS.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Azilsartan medoxomil monopotassium (CAS 863031-24-7) has a molecular formula of C30H23KN4O8 and a molecular weight of 606.62 g/mol. Purity is >98% (HPLC). Solubility: 10 mM in DMSO. Storage: -20°C. It is a prodrug that is converted to the active moiety azilsartan. The compound is a potassium salt, which may influence its solubility and stability compared to the free acid form.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Azilsartan medoxomil monopotassium has a well-established clinical safety profile. Common side effects include diarrhea, nausea, and hypotension. It is generally well-tolerated. Serious side effects include angioedema and renal impairment. It is contraindicated during pregnancy. Its safety in patients with hepatic or renal impairment has been established through clinical studies.
