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

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
