Research Abstract |
We analyzed the drug(molecular or differential) effects of angiotensin II type 1(AT1) receptor blockers. We found that candesartan has strong blocking effect of cell signaling after wash-out. In addition, irbesartan has a strong anti-inflammation and valsatan showed a highly selective behavior for AT1 receptor. Before designing a new ARB, we identified the olmesartan, olmesartan-related compound R239470 and R794847, which induced inverse agonism, antagonism and agonism, respectively.
