Valsartan is a nonpeptide angiotensin II receptor antagonist of the angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor (IC50 = 2.7 nM).1 It is 20,000-fold selective for AT1 over AT2 and, unlike some other AT receptor antagonists, does not alter peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) activity in vitro.2 In vivo, valsartan (30 mg/kg) increases cardiac output and reduces left ventricular fibrosis in a model of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction in mice with streptozotocin-induced diabetes.3 Formulations containing valsartan have been used in the treatment of hypertension and heart failure.2,4,5
