Bioactivity | Aliskiren is an orally active, highly potent and selective renin inhibitor, with IC50 of 1.5 nM. Aliskiren can be used for the research of hypertension, cardiovascular diseases and cancer cachexia[1][2][3]. | ||||||||||||
Target | IC50: 1.5 nM (renin) | ||||||||||||
In Vivo | Aliskiren (< 10 mg/kg, Orally, daily) inhibits plasma renin activity and lowers blood pressure in sodium-depleted marmosets[2].Aliskiren (10 mg/kg, Intragastrically, once) significantly alleviates multiple cachexia‑associated symptoms in BALB/c mice bearing C26 mouse colon carcinoma cells, including BW loss, tumor burden, muscle wasting, muscular dysfunction, and shortened survival[3]. | ||||||||||||
