LCZ696
LCZ696 is a first in class ARNi (angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor) comprising anionic moieties of AR valsartan and the neprilysin inhibitor prodrug AHU377 (1:1 ratio) for heart failure and hypertension.
The angiotensin receptors are G-protein-coupled receptors. They mediate the cardiovascular and other effects of angiotensin II which is a bioactive peptide of the renin–angiotensin system. Neprilysin is a neutral endopeptidase that degrades endogenous vasoactive peptides such as natriuretic peptides. Inhibition of neprilysin increases the natriuretic peptides concentration that contributed to cardiac, vascular and renal protection. [1]
In Sprague-Dawley rats, oral administration of LCZ696 led to a dose-dependent rise in immunoreactivity of atrial natriuretic peptide resulting from neprilysin inhibition. In hypertensive double transgenic rats, LCZ696 caused a dose-dependent and sustained reduction in mean arterial pressure. A healthy participants, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study confirmed that LCZ696 provided concurrent neprilysin inhibition and AT1 receptor blockade. LCZ696 was safe and well tolerated in human. [2] [3]
