Working concentration: mg/ml;

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.

Mechanism of Action

Targets/IC50/Ki
Ang II receptor [1]
0.26 nM
In vitro
Candesartan blocks the effects of angiotensin II at the angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor. Candesartan cilexetil is a prodrug that is activated to candesartan by ester hydrolysis during gastrointestinal absorption. [1]
In vivo
Candesartan improves the functional markers in a dose-dependent manner and also upregulates Ang (1-7), ACE2 and mas1 in the myocardium of DCM rats. Candesartan reduces various ER stress and apoptosis markers and the number apoptotic cells in the Candesartan treated rats. [2] Candesartan cilexetil shows angiotensin-II blocking action in a dose-dependent manner in rats with dilated cardiomyopathy. Candesartan cilexetil reduces the left ventricular end-diastolic pressure and heart weight/body weight ratio, the area of myocardial fibrosis and expressions of transforming growth factor-beta1 and collagen-III mRNA. [3] Candesartan cilexetil (1 mg/kg, p.o.) and enalapril (10 mg/kg, p.o.) reduces blood pressure to the same extent 5 hours after administration on the 1st and the 7th day. Candesartan cilexetil significantly increases renal blood flow without any changes in the cardiac index. TCV-116 and enalapril also tends to increase splanchnic blood flow following the 1st dose but not the 7th dose. [4] Candesartan cilexetil is absorbed from the small intestine and hydrolyzed completely to the pharmacologically active metabolite M-I during absorption process. [5]
