candesartan cilexetil

Candesartan Cilexetil (TCV-116) is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist (IC50: 0.26 nM). Upon hydrolysis to candesartan during gastrointestinal absorption, it selectively competes with angiotensin II for binding to the angiotensin II receptor subtype 1 (AT1) in vascular smooth muscle, blocking angiotensin II-mediated vasoconstriction and inducing vasodilatation.

1H-1-ethyl Candesartan Cilexetil is a process-related impurity in the bulk synthesis of candesartan cilexetil, which is a potent, long-acting and selective angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1) antagonist.

Trityl candesartan is a crucial intermediate used in the synthesis of Candesartan and Candesartan cilexetil, which are angiotensin II receptor antagonists.
