Plasma Atrial Natriuretic Peptide in Essential Hypertension after Treatment with Irbesartan

Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the medium-term effects of the selective AT1-blocker irbesartan on atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) levels in patients with moderate essential hypertension. The drug was given orally in a daily dose of 300 mg for 30 days. Plasma ANP levels increased by 15.7% despite the drop in blood pressure and the slight decrease of atrial and ventricular diameters. These findings indicate that AT,-blockers like irbesartan exert part of their antihypertensive action by increasing ANP pl… Show more

“…The natriuretic peptides were significantly reduced by eprosartan during the entire study day. This contrasts with other reports on the effect of AT1 blockade on concentrations of ANP, as ANP increased after treatment with irbesartan for 30 days in patients with essential hypertension [37] and also after administration of candesartan for 8 weeks in the rat [38]. The reason for this discrepancy is unclear, but could be related to fact that we evaluated only the very short term effect of eprosartan during sodium restriction.…”

“…This is a very important finding because the relation between the plasma levels of ANP and the systolic blood pressure rate reflects mechanisms of the antihypertensive action of the drug after a medium term treatment. Nebivolol follows the same rule as~ adrenergic blockers of older generation as well as antihypertensive drugs of other classes (3)(4)(5)(6)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15).…”

“…Through a literature search and analysis of the remaining 31 DTIs, we identified three novel DTIs: Kim et al [ 43 ] showed that the administration of Triamcinolone significantly reduced the expression level of the leukotriene C4 synthase gene (LTC4S). This is a potential DTI identified by GSRF-DTI, but the interaction was not found in DrugBank Kotridis et al [ 44 ] indicated that Irbesartan exert part of their antihypertensive action by increasing atrial natriuretic peptide plasma (NPR1) levels. This is a potential DTI identified by GSRF-DTI Turrell et al [ 45 ] investigated the role of ATP-sensitive inward rectifier potassium channel 11 (KCNJ11) in the preconditioning of phenylephrine in isolated ventricular myocytes.…”
