Angiotensin II is the primary vasoactive hormone in the renin-angiotensin system. Its effects include vasoconstriction and the stimulation of aldosterone secretion by the adrenal cortex. Irbesartan blocks the vasoconstrictor and aldosterone-secreting effects of angiotensin II by selectively blocking in a non competitive manner the binding of angiotensin II to the AT 1 receptor found in many tissues. Irbesartan has no agonist activity at the AT 1 receptor. AT 2 receptors have been found in many tissues, but to date they have not been associated with cardiovascular homeostasis. Irbesartan has essentially no affinity for the AT 2 receptors. Irbesartan does not inhibit angiotensin converting enzyme, also known as kinase II, the enzyme that converts angiotensin I to angiotensin II and degrades bradykinin, nor does it affect renin or other hormone receptors or ion channels involved in cardiovascular regulation of blood pressure and sodium homeostasis. PHARMACOKINETICS _ _ _ABSORPTION_: Irbesartan is an orally active agent. The oral absorption of irbesartan is rapid and complete with an average absolute bioavailability of 60% - 80%. Irbesartan exhibits linear pharmacokinetics over the therapeutic dose range with an average terminal elimination half-life of 11-15 hours. Following oral administration, peak plasma concentrations are attained at 1.5-2 hours after dosing. Steady-state concentrations are achieved within 3 days. _DISTRIBU קרא את המסמך השלם
