General description

Losartan potassium has long lasting effects, and its efficacy is generally increased, when combined with the diuretic co-active hydrochlorothiazide.
Losartan potassium is an antihypertensive drug that is found to be an angiotensin II receptor type 1 blocker. It finds applications in reducing mechanical stress thereby having a control over the condition of cardiac hypertrophy.

Application

Losartan potassium may be used as an analytical reference standard for the quantification of the analyte in the following:
  • Pharmaceutical formulations using reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography and UV-spectrophotometric techniques.
  • Rat plasma using liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) technique.

Refer to the product′s Certificate of Analysis for more information on a suitable instrument technique. Contact Technical Service for further support.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Losartan potassium is an orally available, potent, and selective competitive angiotensin II receptor type 1 (AT1) antagonist. Losartan potassium is used for treatment of hypertension.

  5. What class of compound is Losartan Potassium, Product 61188?

    Losartan is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist that is used to treat hypertension.  It has imidazole, tetrazole, and benzene rings as part of its structure. It is anionic at neutral pH; it has a pKa in the range of 4-5.

  6. What HPLC column can I use for the analysis of Losartan in my samples?

    Losartan is commonly analyzed using a C18 RP-HPLC column.  Here at Supelco, we have successfully separated Valsartan, Losartan, and Irbesartan by HPLC chromatography on an Ascentis Express C18 15cm x 3mm column , using a mobile phase of 45:55, water:(0.1% formic acid in acetonitrile).  Run times were less than 3 minutes, with the flow rate set at 0.4 mL/min (35° C).

  7. What do you suggest for sample preparation?

    For extraction from biological fluids, consider HybridSPE - precipitation
