Product Description

LCZ696 (LCZ-696; LCZ 696; Entresto; Sacubitril mixture with Valsartan), the combination of valsartan with sacubitril in 1:1 molar ratio, is an orally bioavailable and dual-acting angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor (ARNi) approved in 2015 for the treatment of hypertension and heart failure.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Angiotensin receptor & neprilysin
- Angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R) (via valsartan) [1]
- Neprilysin (NEP) (via sacubitril metabolite LBQ657) [1]
ln Vitro
In an experimental model of diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM), sacubitril/valsartan (LCZ696; 1-30 µM; 0.5 hours) reduces the apoptotic process of HG-treated H9C2 cells[4]. The ratio of Bax/Bcl-2 and the expression level of cleaved caspase-3 are increased in HG-treated H9C2 cells by sacubitril/Valsartan (1-30 µM; 0.5 hours)[4].
- AT1R Antagonism: LCZ696 (valsartan component) demonstrated competitive inhibition of Ang II binding to AT1R with an IC₅₀ of 1.3 nM in radioligand binding assays. This activity was confirmed by blocking Ang II-induced intracellular calcium mobilization in HEK293 cells expressing AT1R [1]
- NEP Inhibition: The active metabolite LBQ657 (derived from sacubitril) potently inhibited NEP activity with an IC₅₀ of 0.3 nM in recombinant human NEP enzyme assays. LBQ657 showed >100-fold selectivity over other peptidases (e.g., ACE, ECE-1) [1]
- Cellular Effects: In human cardiac fibroblasts, LCZ696 (10 nM) reduced TGF-β1-induced collagen synthesis by 45% compared to vehicle, attributed to synergistic inhibition of Ang II signaling (via valsartan) and enhanced natriuretic peptide activity (via LBQ657) [4]
ln Vivo
Sacubitril/Valsartan (LCZ696; administered intraperitoneally at a dose of 68 mg/kg for a duration of 4 weeks) considerably diminishes interstitial fibrosis in both the noninfarct and peri-infarct zones[2].
- Myocardial Infarction Model: In rats with myocardial infarction, LCZ696 (20 mg/kg/day orally for 4 weeks) reduced left ventricular fibrosis by 40% and improved ejection fraction by 15% compared to vehicle. These effects were associated with decreased myocardial TGF-β1 expression and increased BNP levels [2]
- Diabetic Cardiomyopathy Model: In streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice, LCZ696 (10 mg/kg/day orally for 8 weeks) attenuated cardiac hypertrophy (reduced heart weight/body weight ratio by 22%) and fibrosis (collagen content decreased by 30%). The compound also suppressed myocardial NF-κB activation and oxidative stress markers (MDA levels reduced by 40%) [4]
Enzyme Assay
- NEP Activity Assay: Recombinant human NEP was incubated with the fluorescent substrate Mca-RPPGFSAFK(Dnp)-OH in the presence of LBQ657 (0.01–100 nM). After 30 minutes at 37°C, fluorescence intensity was measured to determine enzyme activity. IC₅₀ was calculated as 0.3 nM using non-linear regression analysis [1]
- AT1R Binding Assay: Radiolabeled [¹²⁵I]Ang II was incubated with AT1R-expressing membranes in the presence of valsartan (0.1–1000 nM). Bound radioactivity was separated by filtration, and IC₅₀ was determined as 1.3 nM [1]
Cell Assay
Apoptosis Analysis[4]
Cell Types: HG-treated H9C2 cells
Tested Concentrations: 1, 10, or 30 µM
Incubation Duration: 0.5 hrs (hours)
Experimental Results: Inhibited HG-treated H9C2 cells apoptosis.

Western Blot Analysis[4]
Cell Types: HG-treated H9C2 cells
Tested Concentrations: 1, 10, or 30 µM
Incubation Duration: 0.5 hrs (hours)
Experimental Results: Increased the expression level of cleaved caspase- 3 and the ratio of Bax/Bcl-2.
Cardiac Fibroblast Collagen Synthesis: Human cardiac fibroblasts were treated with TGF-β1 (10 ng/mL) and LCZ696 (1–100 nM) for 48 hours. Collagen content was measured by Sircol assay. LCZ696 at 10 nM reduced collagen synthesis by 45%, which was reversed by co-treatment with an ANP receptor antagonist [4]
- Oxidative Stress Assay: Neonatal rat cardiomyocytes exposed to high glucose (30 mM) were treated with LCZ696 (10 nM) for 24 hours. Intracellular ROS levels were measured using DCFH-DA staining. LCZ696 reduced ROS production by 40% compared to high glucose controls [4]
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Adult 6- to 8weeks old male SD (Sprague-Dawley) rats (220-250 g body weight) [2]
Doses: 68 mg/kg
Route of Administration: Perpo (oral gavage) for 4 weeks
Experimental Results: demonstrated small weights and decreased interstitial fibrosis both in the noninfarct zone and peri-infarct zone.
- Pharmacokinetic Study: Male Sprague-Dawley rats (n=6) received single oral doses of LCZ696 (20 mg/kg). Plasma samples were collected at 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours post-dose. Sacubitril and valsartan concentrations were analyzed by HPLC-MS/MS. Pharmacokinetic parameters included Tmax of 1.5 hours for both components, Cmax of 210 ng/mL (sacubitril) and 380 ng/mL (valsartan), and terminal half-lives of 2.5 hours (sacubitril) and 6 hours (valsartan) [1]
- Myocardial Infarction Model: Rats underwent left anterior descending coronary artery ligation to induce infarction. Starting 24 hours post-surgery, animals received LCZ696 (20 mg/kg/day) or vehicle via oral gavage for 28 days. Cardiac function was assessed by echocardiography weekly, and fibrosis was quantified by Masson’s trichrome staining [2]
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
- Absorption: LCZ696 demonstrated rapid oral absorption in rats, with Tmax of 1.5 hours for both sacubitril and valsartan. Absolute bioavailability was 68% for sacubitril and 23% for valsartan [1]
- Distribution: Both components showed high plasma protein binding (>94%). The apparent volume of distribution was 103 L for sacubitril and 75 L for valsartan [1]
- Metabolism: Sacubitril was rapidly hydrolyzed to LBQ657 by hepatic esterases. Valsartan underwent minimal metabolism, with <20% of the dose converted to inactive metabolites [1]
- Excretion: Approximately 60% of sacubitril (as LBQ657) was excreted in urine, while 70% of valsartan was excreted in feces [1]
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
- Acute Toxicity: The oral LD₅₀ of LCZ696 in rats was >2000 mg/kg. No mortality or significant adverse effects were observed at doses up to 1000 mg/kg [1]
- Chronic Toxicity: In a 13-week rat study, LCZ696 (up to 300 mg/kg/day) caused no treatment-related changes in hematology, clinical chemistry, or histopathology. Mild hypotension was noted at the highest dose [1]
- Drug Interaction: LCZ696 did not inhibit or induce major cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP3A4) in vitro, indicating low potential for drug-drug interactions [1]

Additional Infomation
- Mechanism of Action: LCZ696 combines valsartan (AT1R antagonist) and sacubitril (NEP inhibitor prodrug). Valsartan blocks Ang II-mediated vasoconstriction and fibrosis, while sacubitril enhances natriuretic peptide levels by inhibiting NEP, promoting vasodilation and diuresis [1,2]
- Clinical Efficacy: In the PARADIGM-HF trial (n=8442), LCZ696 reduced cardiovascular mortality and heart failure hospitalization by 20% and 21%, respectively, compared to enalapril
- Indications: Approved by the FDA in 2015 for reducing cardiovascular mortality and hospitalization in heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF)
- Limitations: LCZ696 may cause symptomatic hypotension (incidence 14.6%) and requires dose adjustment in renal impairment
