A Retrospective Analysis of Human Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers (ARB) Pharmacokinetics, Dosages and C<sub>max</sub> Values for the Experimental Modelling of Pleiotropic and Supratherapeutic Activities. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Angiotensin II (AngII) receptor blockers (ARBs) are medications that lower systolic blood pressure (BP) by antagonizing the AngII type 1 receptor (AT1). However, ARBs have documented or suspected therapeutic properties in diseases not caused by high BP including diabetes, muscular dystrophy, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) and ...

Molecular Static and Dynamic Analyses reveal Flaw in Murine Model used by US FDA to Detect Drug Carcinogenicity [PDF]
The US FDA currently accepts carcinogenicity studies of pharmaceutical drugs based on murine models. In addition to 6 month studies with p53(+/-) and ras.H2 transgenic mice, lifetime studies (typically 2 years) in WT mice or rats are also considered as ...

Sprue-Like Enteropathy and Liver Injury: A Rare Emerging Association with Olmesartan
Olmesartan-induced enteropathy is an underreported phenomenon, first described in 2012. While olmesartan’s antihypertensive properties were confirmed early on, its association with a sprue-like enteropathy was subsequently noted.

The effect of sacubitril/valsartan compared to olmesartan on cardiovascular remodelling in subjects with essential hypertension: the results of a randomized, double-blind, active-controlled study [PDF]
Aims: Progressive aortic stiffening eventually leads to left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy and heart failure if left untreated. Anti-hypertensive agents have been shown to reverse this to some extent. The effects of sacubitril/valsartan (LCZ696), a dual-
