Description
Remikiren is an orally active, high specificity renin inhibitor.
Indication
For the treatment of hypertension and heart failure
Pharmacology
Remikiren is an orally available renin inhibitor with an established blood pressure-lowering effect in patients with essential hypertension. No data are available on the renal effects of remikiren in humans. In patients with essential hypertension, a single oral dose of remikiren can induce a renal vasodilation, without affecting the GFR and despite a significant decrease in blood pressure. This systemic and renal hemodynamic response is more pronounced in case of a more activated renin-angiotensin system.
Affected Organisms
Humans and other mammals
Absorption
Absorbed following oral administration.
Protein Binding
83%
