Description:

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

Losartan Potassium is a non-peptide angiotensin II receptor antagonist with antihypertensive activity. Losartan selectively and competitively binds to the angiotensin II receptor (type AT1) and blocks the binding of angiotensin II to the receptor, thus promoting vasodilatation and counteracting the effects of aldosterone. Converted from angiotensin I by angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), angiotensin II stimulates the adrenal cortex to synthesize and secrete aldosterone, decreasing sodium excretion and increasing potassium excretion, and acts as a vasoconstrictor in vascular smooth muscle.

Product Data
Biological target:
Losartan potassium (DuP-753 potassium) is an angiotensin II receptor type 1 (AT1) antagonist.
In vitro activity:
Losartan improved TGF-β1-mediated inhibition of ETI-corrected F508del-CFTR function and reduced TNFA and COX2 mRNA and TNF-α protein expression. Reference: J Clin Invest. 2022 Jun 1;132(11):e155241. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35446787/
In vivo activity:
Hence, this study was designed to gain insight on whether losartan, a selective angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R) antagonist, has therapeutic benefit to reverse IFP/synovial fibrosis and secondarily to attenuate pain behavior. Administration of once-daily losartan for 28-days dose-dependently attenuated the development of static weight bearing. Chronic treatment of MIA-rats with losartan had an anti-fibrotic effect and it attenuated pain behavior in this animal model.
