Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Azilsartan is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist used in the treatment of hypertension, developed by Takeda. It is marketed in tablet form under the trade name Edarbi as the prodrug azilsartan medoxomil (INN, codenamed TAK-491). Azilsartan medoxomil lowers blood pressure by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a vasopressor hormone.

Product Data
Biological target:
Azilsartan(TAK-536) is a specific and potent angiotensin II type 1 receptor antagonist with IC50 of 2.6 nM.
In vitro activity:
The results in Figure 2A–C demonstrate that while exposure to AGEs significantly increased the expression levels of IL-1α, IL-6, and TNF-β roughly to 3.1 ± 0.34, 3.6 ± 0.4, and 4.3 ± 0.46-fold. However, 10 µM Azilsartan inhibited the mRNA expression of these three cytokines to 2.2 ± 0.24, 2.6 ± 0.28, and 3.1 ± 0.33-fold. Furthermore, 20 µM Azilsartan inhibited them to 1.7 ± 0.2, 1.9 ± 0.22, and 2.4 ± 0.27-fold. A similar inhibitory effect was observed on the protein secretion of these three cytokines, suggesting a distinct anti-inflammatory effect of Azilsartan in OA chondrocytes (Figure 2D–F).

In vivo activity:
Azilsartan treatment resulted in a dose-dependent reduction of systolic arterial blood pressure in both experimental age groups. The TBARS levels decreased significantly in the high-dose azilsartan treatment group at later stages of MetS.
