    C.09.C.A.03   Valsartan

    Pharmacodynamics:

    Combined antihypertensive.

    Sakubitryl

    It suppresses the activity of non-uridine, which cleaves natriuretic peptides. As a result, activation of membrane-bound receptors conjugated with guanylate cyclase occurs, which increases the concentration of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). Consequently, natriuresis increases, the rate of glomerular filtration and renal blood flow.

    Valsartan

    Selective antagonist of angiotensin receptors I. Supplements the action of sakubitrila: with an increase in the concentration of angiotensin II in blood plasma after valsartan blockade of AT receptors1 stimulation of unblocked AT receptors occurs2, which regulate the action of AT receptors1. As a result, vasoconstriction and aldosterone secretion are suppressed. Reduces myocardial hypertrophy, does not affect the concentration of triglycerides, glucose, total cholesterol and uric acid.

    The combined effects of sakubitrile and valsartan lead to a decrease in sympathetic activity, has antifibrotic and antihypertrophic effects.

    Pharmacokinetics:

    Sakubitryl

    After oral administration, fasted to 60% is absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract. The maximum concentration in the blood plasma is achieved after 3 hours. The connection with plasma proteins is 94%.

    Metabolism in the liver to the active metabolite LBQ657.

    The half-life of sacubitryl is 1.5 hours, the metabolite LBQ657 - 11.5 hours. Elimination by the kidneys and with feces, mostly in the form of a metabolite LBQ657.

    Valsartan

    After ingestion, up to 23% is absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract. The maximum concentration in the blood plasma is reached after 2 hours. The connection with plasma proteins is 94-97%.

    Metabolism in the liver.

    The elimination half-life is 9 hours. Elimination with feces (70%) and kidneys (30%).
