Fimasartan (BR-A-657) is an orally active, highly potent angiotensin II receptor AT1 (AGTR1) antagonist (blocker) that selectively blocks AngII-, but not KCl- or noradrenaline-, induced contraction of rabbit thoracic aortic rings (IC50 = 0.42 nM) with 615-fold higher AT1 affinity than losartan (IC50 = 0.13 nM vs. 80 nM against 0.05 nM AngII for binding rat adrenal cortex). Fimasartan significantly decreases mean arterial blood pressure with rapid onset (in 0.5 h) in spontaneously hypertensive rats (Emax of 75% reduction, 5-24 hr post 10 mg/kg p.o.) and is ~19-fold more effective than losartan against AngII (100 ng/kg i.v.)-induced pressor response in rats in vivo (ED50 = 18 ng/kg vs. 336 ng/kg i.v.).
Orally active, highly potent angiotensin II receptor AT1 (AGTR1) antagonist with superior in vivo antihypertensive efficacy than Losartan.

The aim of this study was to investigate the cardioprotective effect of fimasartan, a newly developed angiotensin II receptor type I blocker (ARB), against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury and to identify the mechanism by which it reduces mitochondrial damage. Fimasartan

Angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) have organ-protective effects in heart failure and may be also effective in doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy (DOX-CMP); however, the efficacy of ARBs on the prevention of DOX-CMP have not been investigated. We performed a preclinical experiment to evaluate

Cardioprotective effect of fimasartan, a new angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), was evaluated in a porcine model of acute myocardial infarction (MI). Fifty swine were randomized to group 1 (sham, n=10), group 2 (no angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor [ACEI] or ARB, n=10)
Since inhibition of angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor reduces chronic inflammation associated with hypertension, we evaluated the anti-inflammatory potential and the underlying mechanism of fimasartan, a Korean Food and Drug Administration approved anti-hypertension drug, in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages.
Nucleotide-binding and oligomerization domain-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome, which is composed of an NLRP3 domain, the adaptor molecule apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD (ASC) domain, and procaspase-1, plays an important role in the immune pathophysiology of
