General description

Irbesartan comprises bipentyl-tetrazole side chain. It is an imidazole derivative with high bioavailability and is metabolized by the enzyme cytochrome P450 2C9 isoenzyme in liver to be majorly eliminated by oxidation and glucuronidation.

Application

Irbesartan has been used as an angiotensin II receptor type 1 (ATR1) blocker in carotid atheroma tissue. It may be used to test its effect on allergic asthma in rat and mice mast cells.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Irbesartan is an angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor antagonist with antihypertensive activity. It also elicits selective peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ)-modulating activity and possesses anti-inflammatory properties. Irbesartan shows protective cardiovascular effects and provides protection against chronic glomerulonephritis.
