PHARMACODYNAMICS
Angiotensin II antagonist.
The active hormone of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS)
is angiotensin II, which is formed
from angiotensin I through ACE. Angiotensin II binds to specific
receptors located in the cell membranes
of various tissues. It has a wide variety of physiological effects,
including in particular both direct and
indirect involvement in the regulation of blood pressure. As a potent
vasoconstrictor, angiotensin II exerts
a direct pressor response. In addition, it promotes sodium retention
and stimulation of aldosterone secretion.
Valsartan is an orally active, potent and specific angiotensin II (Ang
II) receptor antagonist. It acts
selectively on the AT
1
receptor subtype, which is responsible for the known actions of
angiotensin II. The
increased plasma levels of Ang II following AT
1
receptor blockade with valsartan may stimulate the
unblocked AT
2
receptor, which appears to counterbalance the effect of the AT
1
receptor. Valsartan does
not exhibit any partial agonist activity at the AT
1
receptor and has much (about 20,000 fold) greater
affinity for the AT
1
receptor than for the AT
2
receptor.
Valsartan does not inhibit ACE, also known as kininase II, which
converts Ang I to Ang II and degrades
bradykinin. Since there is no e
