1.1 nM
In vitro

Losartan Carboxylic Acid (EXP-3174) competes in vitro with the binding of angiotensin II to AT1 receptors, with an IC50 of 20 nmol/L. It increases AMPK phosphorylation in a time- and dose-dependent manner in VSMCs, as well as ACC phosphorylation—a major downstream target protein in the AMPK signaling cascade—and LKB1 phosphorylation, an upstream kinase of AMPK. This compound also elevates p53 and p21 expression in a time-dependent manner, while p27 levels remain unchanged. It suppresses Ang II-induced Rb phosphorylation, along with cyclin D and cyclin E expression, which are essential for cell cycle progression. The mechanism of growth suppression by losartan involves G0/G1 cell cycle arrest, reversible through AMPK inhibition (e.g., compound C or AMPK siRNA), but not via apoptosis.

In vivo

Losartan has a major active metabolite, EXP 3174. Administered intravenously, this compound is 10 to 20 times more potent than losartan and has a longer duration of action. However, the oral bioavailability of EXP 3174 is very low. Losartan has a bioavailability of about 33%, the half-life averages 2 h (6-9 hours), and the rate of protein binding is 98.7% when dosed at 50-100 mg/d. Treatment with losartan ameliorates the loss in the number and function of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) in hypertensive rats.
