Overview

Information

Candesartan (CV-11974) Candesartan (CV-11974) is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist with IC50 of 0.26 nM.
In vitro

Candesartan binds with high specificity to the angiotensin II AT1 receptors in CHO-AT1 cells with K₋₁ of 0.001 min⁻¹. Candesartan does not affect cell viability or proliferation but increases the expression of VEGF and interleukin-8 in the cultured medium of KU-19-19 cells. Candesartan (0.1 nM) could reduce the maximal contractile response to angiostensin II by approximately 50%.

In vivo

Candesartan (10 mg/kg) inhibits the growth of engrafted tumors and reduces the microvessel density and VEGF expression in a mouse KU-19-19 xenograft model Candesartan (0.5 mg/kg) decreases blood pressure and inhibits AT1 binding in the subfornical organ (SFO), paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVN), nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) and area postrema (AP) in WKY rats. Candesartan (0.3 mg/kg) pretreatment decreases the infarct area by 31% in adult spontaneously hypertensive rats, reduces the CBF decrease at the peripheral area of ischemia and the cortical volume of severe ischemic lesion.
