Research Abstract |
It was shown that losartan, a drug of the treatment for hypertension, decrease the production of epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) from arachidonic acid by inhibiting some cytochrome P450 (CYP)s. This inhibitory effect was also found in telmisartan, which is the similar anti-hypertensive as losartan. EETs have cardioprotective effects. Therefore, it was suggested that the decrease of EETs production would be related tothe cardiovascular side effects such as arrhythmia of these drugs.
