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

Features
Irbesartan is a longer acting AT1 receptor antagonist relative to losartan and valsartan.
Targets/IC50/Ki
AT1 receptor [1]
1.3 nM
In vitro

Irbesartan competes with angiotensin II (AII) for binding at the AT1 receptor subtype and antagonizes AII-induced contraction in rabbit aorta ring with IC50 of 4 nM. This compound has no affinity for AT2 receptors. [1] It (10 μM) blocks angiotensin II induced increase in αv, β1, β3, and β5 integrins, osteopontin, and α-actinin mRNA and protein levels in rat cardiac fibroblasts, leading to the decrease of cell attachment to extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins. [2] This chemical treatment markedly induces the expression of the adipogenic marker gene adipose protein 2 (aP2) in 3T3-L1 cells in a concentration-dependent manner with EC50 of 3.5 μM and 3.3-fold induction at the concentration of 10 μM. It (10 μM) markedly induces transcriptional activity of the peroxisome proliferator–activated receptor-γ (PPARγ) by 3.4-fold independent of its AT1 receptor blocking action. [3] Pretreatment with this compound (~10 μM) decreases angiotensin II-induced apoptosis in rat vascular smooth muscle cells by blocking angiotensin II internalization in a concentrationdependent manner. [4]

In vivo

Oral administration of Irbesartan (1 mg/kg) reduces angiotensin II (AII)-induced hypertension, equipotent with losartan in conscious normotensive rats, markedly more active than losartan (10 mg/kg) in normotensive cynomolgus monkeys. [1] Administration of this compound (7 mg/kg/day) significantly prevents skeletal muscle apoptosis and muscle atrophy in rats with monocrotaline-induced congestive heart failure (CHF), which is involved with the decrease of TNFα level and attributed to AT1 receptor blocking.
