Description: Candesartan cilexetil is a prodrug of the potent, long-acting, and selective angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1) antagonist, candesartan. It is rapidly hydrolyzed to candesartan during gastrointestinal absorptio. Candesartan blocks the vasoconstrictor and aldosterone-secreting effects of angiotensin II by selectively blocking the binding of angiotensin II to the AT1 receptor in many tissues, such as vascular smooth muscle and the adrenal gland. Its action is, therefore, independent of the pathways for angiotensin II synthesis. Candesartan has much greater affinity ( > 10,000-fold) for the AT1 receptor than for the AT2 receptor.

Product Data:
Biological target: Candesartan Cilexetil (TCV-116) is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist with IC50 of 0.26 nM, used in the treatment of hypertension.
In vitro activity: The objective of this study was to determine whether AT1 receptor inhibition would reduce the innate inflammatory response induced by bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Monocytes were studied in vitro after incubation with LPS (50 ng/ml) with and without 1 mumol/l candesartan, an AT1 receptor blocker. Human monocytes did not express detectable AT1 receptors, and angiotensin II did not induce inflammatory factor mRNA expression or cytokine release. However, candesartan substantially reduced the LPS-induced expression of the mRNAs for the LPS recognition protein cluster of differentiation 14, the proinflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukin-1 beta and interleukin-6 and the lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor. In addition, candesartan reduced the activation of the nuclear factor kappa B pathway, the tumor necrosis factor alpha and interleukin-6 secretion, and the ROS formation induced by LPS, without affecting the secretion of interleukin-10. It is hypothesized that the anti-inflammatory effects of candesartan in these cells are likely mediated by mechanisms unrelated to AT1 receptor blockade. The results demonstrate that candesartan significantly reduces the innate immune response to LPS in human circulating monocytes. The anti-inflammatory effects of candesartan may be of importance not only in hypertension but also in other inflammatory disorders.

In vivo activity: To better understand the mechanisms underlying the protective effects of candesartan on the intestinal integrity, fecal SCFAs (shortchain fatty acids) were further quantified. As shown in Fig. 7A, at 12 weeks of age, the amount of acetic acid in the vehicle-treated SHRs was decreased to about 60% of that from the vehicle-treated WKY rats while other SCFA species remained unchanged. No significant changes in the amount of fecal acetic acid were observed in 12-week old candesartan-treated SHRs compared to that from the age-matched vehicle-treated SHRs. By 20 weeks of age, the amount of fecal acetic acid, propionic acid and butyric acid was found to be decreased in the vehicle-treated SHRs compared to that from the age-matched vehicle-treated WKY rats. In distinct contrast, the amount of fecal acetic acid, propionic acid and butyric acid was significantly increased in the candesartan-treated SHRs compared to that from the vehicle-treated SHRs. Meanwhile, although no changes in the amount of fecal isobutyric acid, valeric acid, and isovaleric acid were observed in the vehicle-treated SHRs, candesartan treatment increased the amount of these SCFA species (Fig.7B). These results indicate that prolonged treatment of candesartan results in increased microbial production of SCFAs in SHRs.
