Metabolite Identification
Common NameForasartan
DescriptionForasartan, also known as SC 52458, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as phenylpyridines. These are polycyclic aromatic compounds containing a benzene ring linked to a pyridine ring through a CC or CN bond. Forasartan is a drug which is used for the treatment of hypertension. Forasartan is a strong basic compound (based on its pKa). Forasartan is a competitive and reversible ARB that competes with the angiotensin II binding site on AT1 and relaxes vascular smooth muscle, resulting in decreased blood pressure. Research demonstrates that forasartan is also significantly less potent than losartan. In humans, forasartan is involved in forasartan action pathway. Forasartan administration selectively inhibits L-type calcium channels in the plateau component of the smooth muscle cells, favoring relaxation of the smooth muscle. Forasartan also decreases heart rate by inhibiting the positive chronotropic effect of high frequency preganglionic stimuli. Forasartan is indicated for the treatment of hypertension and, similar to other ARBs, it protects the kidneys from kidney blood vessel damage caused by increased kidney blood pressure by blocking renin–angiotensin system activation. Smooth muscle contraction occurs due to increased calcium influx through the L-type calcium channels in smooth muscle cells during the plateau component, increasing the intracellular calcium and membrane potential which sustain depolarization and contraction. The dose administered ranges between 150 mg-200 mg daily.
