Randomized multicentre pilot study of sacubitril/valsartan versus irbesartan in patients with chronic kidney disease: United Kingdom Heart and Renal Protection (HARP)- III—rationale, trial design and baseline data [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at risk of progression to end-stage renal disease and cardiovascular disease. Data from other populations and animal experiments suggest that neprilysin inhibition (which augments the ...

Neprilysin (NEP) is a membrane-bound enzyme with a large extracellular component that hydrolyzes atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), but less so brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), and degrades various very important endogenous vasoactive peptides, including adrenomedullin and bradykinin for ...

Substance P and Neprilysin in Chronic Pancreatitis [PDF]
<b><i>Background/Aims:</i></b> We aimed to analyze substance P (SP) and neprilysin (NEP), the membrane metallopeptidase that degrades SP, in chronic pancreatitis (CP). <b><i>Methods:</i></b> SP and NEP mRNA levels were analyzed by qRT-PCR in tissue samples from 30 patients with CP and 8 organ donors.

Serum neprilysin levels are elevated in preeclampsia
To evaluate the possible associations between serum Neprilysin (NEP) levels and preeclampsia and mild and severe preeclampsia subgroups.Fifty-five consecutive women with mild preeclampsia and fifty-five consecutive women with severe preeclampsia were compared with 110 approximately gestational age-matched (±1 week) women with an uncomplicated pregnancy.

Breakthrough in Heart Failure therapy: LCZ696 combining ACE-Neprilysin inhibition
Background: Current Heart failure (HF) pharmacotherapy has been unsatisfactory in halting disease progression completely. Aims and Objective: To evaluate the role of LCZ696, a recent FDA-approved ACE -Neprilysin inhibitor (ARNi) in the management of ...

Influence of Sacubitril/Valsartan (LCZ696) on 30-day readmission after heart failure hospitalization [PDF]
Background: Patients with heart failure (HF) are at high risk for hospital readmission in the first 30 days following HF hospitalization. Objectives: This study sought to determine if treatment with sacubitril/valsartan (LCZ696) reduces rates ...

Rationale: Neprilysin (NEP) is a major endogenous catabolic enzyme of amyloid β (Aβ). Previous studies have suggested that increasing NEP expression in animal models of Alzheimer's disease had an ameliorative effect.

Stable New York Heart Association (NYHA) class over time was much more frequent than an improvement or a worsening. Follow‐up NYHA class assessment, but not change in NYHA class over time, was independently associated with better prognosis. CI, confidence interval; HR, hazard ratio.

Angiotensin receptor blocker neprilysin inhibitors
Heart failure (HF) is a clinical syndrome that results from a structural or functional cardiac disorder that reduces the ability of the ventricle of the heart to fill with, or eject, blood. It is a multifaceted clinical condition that affects up to 2% of the population in the developed world, and is linked to significant morbidity and mortality; it is ...
