Telmisartan-d3 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of telmisartan (Item No. 11615) by GC- or LC-MS. Telmisartan is a nonpeptide angiotensin (AT) II receptor antagonist which selectively and insurmountably inhibits the AT II receptor subtype AT1 (Ki = 3.7 nM).1 It also acts as a partial agonist of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ), activating the receptor to 25-30% of that produced by the full agonist rosiglitazone (Item No. 71740; EC50 = 4.5 μM).2 Through these actions, telmisartan potently reduces blood pressure in various animal models of hypertension, diminishing cardiac hypertrophy, cardiovascular and renal risk, and glomerulosclerosis.3,4,5
