Eprosartan Mesylate (SKF-108566J) is a potent and nonpeptide angiotensin II receptor antagonist with IC50 of 9.2 and 3.9 nM in rat and human adrenal cortical membranes, respectively. It is used for the treatment of high blood pressure. Eprosartan is sometimes co-formulated with hydrochlorothiazide to treat hypertension.It acts on the renin-angiotensin system to decrease total peripheral resistance in two ways. First, it blocks the binding of angiotensin II to AT1 receptors in vascular smooth muscle, causing vascular dilatation. Second, it inhibits sympathetic norepinephrine production, further reducing blood pressure.

Biological Activity
| Targets | Angiotensin II receptor | ||
| ln Vitro | [125I]AII binding to human liver membranes (IC50 of 1.7 nM) and rat mesenteric artery membranes (IC50 of 1.5 nM) is inhibited by eprosartan (SKF-108566J). Eprosartan inhibited the concentration-dependent increases in intracellular Ca2+ levels generated by AII in rabbit aortic smooth muscle cells[1]. | ||
| ln Vivo |
Eprosartan (0.01-0.3 mg/kg) administered intravenously (IV) in conscious normotensive rats caused dose-dependent parallel changes in the AII pressor dose-response curve. When conscious normotensive rats were given Eprosartan (3-10 mg/kg) intraduodenally or intragastrically, the pressor response to AII (250 ng/kg, iv) was inhibited in a dose-dependent manner. Significant suppression of the pressor response to AII was seen for three hours at 10 mg/kg, id[1].
Eprosartan (EPRO), an angiotensin receptor type-1 (AT-1) blocker, exhibited neuroprotective activities in ischemic stroke resulting from focal cerebral ischemia in rats. The current study aimed to clarify the neuroprotective role of EPRO in middle carotid artery occlusion (MCAO)-induced ischemic stroke in rats. Fifty-six male Wistar rats were divided into four groups (n = 14 per group): sham-operated group, sham receiving EPRO (60 mg/kg/day, po) group, ischemia-reperfusion (IR) group, and IR receiving EPRO (60 mg/kg/day, po) group. MCAO led to a remarkable impairment in motor function together with stimulation of inflammatory and apoptotic pathways in the hippocampus of rats. After MCAO, the AT1 receptor in the brain was stimulated, resulting in activation of Janus kinase 2/signal transducers and activators of transcription 3 signaling generating more neuroinflammatory milieu and destructive actions on the hippocampus. Augmentation of caspase-3 level by MCAO enhanced neuronal apoptosis synchronized with neurodegenerative effects of oxidative stress biomarkers. Pretreatment with EPRO opposed motor impairment and decreased oxidative and apoptotic mediators in the hippocampus of rats. The anti-inflammatory activity of EPRO was revealed by downregulation of nuclear factor-kappa B and tumor necrosis factor-β levels and (C-X-C motif) ligand 1 messenger RNA (mRNA) expression. Moreover, the study confirmed the role of EPRO against a unique pathway of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α and its subsequent inflammatory mediators. Furthermore, upregulation of caveolin-1 mRNA level was also observed along with decreased oxidative stress marker levels and brain edema. Therefore, EPRO showed neuroprotective effects in MCAO-induced cerebral ischemia in rats via attenuation of oxidative, apoptotic, and inflammatory pathways[2]. |

| Enzyme Assay | In rat and human adrenal cortical membranes, SK&F 108566 displaced specifically bound [125I]AII with IC50 of 9.2 and 3.9 nM, respectively. SK&F 108566 also inhibited [125I]AII binding to human liver membranes (IC50 = 1.7 nM) and to rat mesenteric artery membranes (IC50 = 1.5 nM)[1]. | ||
| Cell Assay | In rabbit aortic smooth muscle cells, SK&F 108566 caused a concentration-dependent inhibition of AII-induced increases in intracellular Ca++ levels. In rabbit aortic rings, SK&F 108566 produced parallel rightward shifts in the AII concentration-response curve without affecting the maximal contractile response. Schild analysis of the data yielded a KB value of 0.26 nM and a slope not different from 1, indicative of competition antagonism. SK&F 108566 had no effect on the contractile responses to KCl, norepinephrine or endothelin in rabbit aorta[1]. | ||

| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Absorption, Distribution and Excretion Absolute bioavailability following a single 300 mg oral dose of eprosartan is approximately 13%. Administering eprosartan with food delays absorption. Eprosartan is excreted in animal milk; it is not known whether eprosartan is excreted in human milk. Plasma protein binding of eprosartan is high (approximately 98%) and constant over the concentration range achieved with therapeutic doses. The pooled population pharmacokinetic analysis from two Phase 3 trials of 299 men and 172 women with mild to moderate hypertension (aged 20 to 93 years) showed that eprosartan exhibited a population mean oral clearance (CL/F) for an average 60-year-old patient of 48.5 L/hr. The population mean steady-state volume of distribution (Vss/F) was 308 L. Eprosartan pharmacokinetics were not influenced by weight, race, gender or severity of hypertension at baseline. Oral clearance was shown to be a linear function of age with CL/F decreasing 0.62 L/hr for every year increase. Eprosartan is eliminated by biliary and renal excretion, primarily as unchanged compound. Less than 2% of an oral dose is excreted in the urine as a glucuronide. There are no active metabolites following oral and intravenous dosing with (14)C eprosartan in human subjects. Eprosartan was the only drug-related compound found in the plasma and feces. Following intravenous (14)C eprosartan, about 61% of the material is recovered in the feces and about 37% in the urine. Following an oral dose of (14)C eprosartan, about 90% is recovered in the feces and about 7% in the urine. Absolute bioavailability following a single 300 mg oral dose of eprosartan is approximately 13%. Eprosartan plasma concentrations peak at 1 to 2 hours after an oral dose in the fasted state. Administering eprosartan with food delays absorption, and causes variable changes (<25%) in Cmax and AUC values which do not appear clinically important. Plasma concentrations of eprosartan increase in a slightly less than dose-proportional manner over the 100 mg to 800 mg dose range. The mean terminal elimination half-life of eprosartan following multiple oral doses of 600 mg was approximately 20 hours. Eprosartan does not significantly accumulate with chronic use. For more Absorption, Distribution and Excretion (Complete) data for EPROSARTAN (6 total), please visit the HSDB record page. Metabolism / Metabolites Eprosartan is not metabolized by the cytochrome P450 system. It is mainly eliminated as unchanged drug. Less than 2% of an oral dose is excreted in the urine as a glucuronide. Following an oral dose of (14)C eprosartan, about 90% is recovered in the feces and about 7% in the urine. Approximately 20% of the radioactivity excreted in the urine was an acyl glucuronide of eprosartan with the remaining 80% being unchanged eprosartan. Biological Half-Life The terminal elimination half-life of eprosartan following oral administration is typically 5 to 9 hours. ... The mean terminal elimination half-life of eprosartan following multiple oral doses of 600 mg was approximately 20 hours. ... After oral administration of eprosartan to healthy volunteers ... the drug's terminal elimination half-life is typically 5-9 hours after oral administration. ... |

| Additional Infomation |
Eprosartan methanesulfonate is a methanesulfonate salt. It has a role as an antihypertensive agent. It contains an eprosartan. Eprosartan Mesylate is the mesylate salt form of eprosartan, a non-biphenyl, non-tetrazole, nonpeptide angiotensin II antagonist with antihypertensive activity. Eprosartan mesylate antagonizes angiotensin II type I receptors in tissues such as vascular smooth muscle and the adrenal gland. This prevents angiotensin II-induced vasoconstriction and prevents angiotensin II-mediated stimulation of aldosterone secretion by the adrenal cortex, which decreases the excretion of sodium and water and increases the excretion of potassium.
