The combination of candesartan cilexetil [an angiotensin II type 1 (AT(1)) receptor antagonist] plus hydrochlorothiazide (a thiazide diuretic), has been used in the treatment of patients with hypertension. The blood pressure (BP) lowering effect of various doses of this combination

Drugs, 62(8), 1253-1287 (2002-05-16)
Candesartan cilexetil is converted to the angiotensin II receptor antagonist candesartan during absorption from the gastrointestinal tract. The selective and competitive binding of candesartan to the angiotensin II type 1 (AT(1)) receptor prevents binding of angiotensin II, a key mediator

Journal of human hypertension, 14 Suppl 2, S33-S41 (2000-11-22)
Candesartan is one of the first angiotensin II receptor antagonists (AIIRAs) to be developed. It binds tightly to and dissociates slowly from the angiotensin subtype 1 (AT1) receptor in vitro. These binding characteristics differ from those of losartan, which demonstrates

Blockade of the action of angiotensin II (AII) has long been a target for the development of novel antihypertensive agents. We recently discovered a novel class of potent nonpeptide AII receptor antagonists, benzimidazole-7-carboxylic acids including candesartan. Candesartan is a highly

Candesartan cilexetil is the orally administered pro-drug of candesartan, a highly selective antagonist of the angiotensin II subtype 1 receptor that mediates the pressor activities of angiotensin II. Candesartan cilexetil is widely used for the treatment of hypertension and has
