Structure
Description Candesartan is a benzimidazolecarboxylic acid that is 1H-benzimidazole-7-carboxylic acid substituted by an ethoxy group at position 2 and a ({2'-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl}methyl) group at position 1. It is a angiotensin receptor antagonist used for the treatment of hypertension. It has a role as an antihypertensive agent, an angiotensin receptor antagonist, an environmental contaminant and a xenobiotic.

Pharmacology

Mechanism of Action

Candesartan functions as a type-1 angiotensin II receptor antagonist, specifically targeting and binding to these receptors. By inhibiting angiotensin II from attaching to its type-1 receptors, candesartan effectively mitigates the cascade of physiological responses typically instigated by this hormone. This blockade prevents vasoconstriction, reducing blood pressure and alleviating the burden on the cardiovascular system. Through this mechanism, candesartan demonstrates its role in managing hypertension and related conditions in humans.
