Notes: Fimasartan is an antagonist of the angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor (IC50 = 0.16 nM in HEK293 cells expressing the human receptor).{51311} It is selective for the AT1- over the AT2 receptor (IC50 = 69 µM). Fimasartan (62.5, 125, and 250 µM) inhibits LPS-induced increases in inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) levels and NO production, as well as NF-κB nuclear translocation in RAW 264.7 macrophages.{51312} It reduces angiotensin II-induced contractions of isolated rabbit aortic rings in a concentration-dependent manner.{51311} In vivo, fimasartan decreases mean arterial pressure in rats with hypertension induced by furosemide (Item No. 17273) and renal hypertensive rats when administered at doses of 10 and 0.3 mg/kg, respectively. Formulations containing fimasartan have been used in the treatment of hypertension.
