    Description

    Azilsartan (TAK-536) is an orally active, potent, selective and specific angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1) antagonist. Azilsartan induces ROS formation and apoptosis in HepG2 cells. Azilsartan shows neuroprotective and anticancer activity. Azilsartan can be used for hypertension and stroke research[1][2][3][4][5].

    In Vitro

    Azilsartan (0-200 μM, 0-72 h) decreases the viability of HepG2 cells[5].
    Azilsartan (100 μM, 24 h) induces apoptosis in HepG2 cells[5].
    Azilsartan inhibits the specific binding of 125I-Sar1-Ile8-AII to human angiotensin type 1 receptors with an IC50 of 2.6 nM[3].
    Azilsartan potently inhibits aortic endothelial and vascular cell proliferation in the absence of exogenous Ang II supplementation[5].
    Azilsartan enhances adipogenesis and exerted greater effects than Valsartan (HY-18204) on expression of genes encoding peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α (PPARα), PPARδ, leptin, adipsin, and adiponectin[1].

    Cell Proliferation Assay[5]

    Cell Line: HepG2 and KDR cells
    Concentration: 5, 25, 50, 100 and 200 μM
    Incubation Time: 24, 48, and 72 h
    Result: Gradually decreased the viability of HepG2 cells by increasing the incubation time and dose, the inhibitory concentration of Azilsartan (IC 50%) against HepG2 cells was 100 μM for 24 h treatment time point while in KDR epithelial normal cells no significant cytotoxic effect was observed during the similar treatment conditions.

    Apoptosis Analysis[5]

    Cell Line: HepG2 cells
    Concentration: 100 μM
    Incubation Time: 24 h
    Result: Induced 57.2% early and 0.52% late apoptosis respectively after 24 h.
    In Vivo

    Azilsartan (0-3 mg/kg, Oral gavage, once daily for 5 days) decreases SBP (systolic blood pressure) in obese Koletsky rats at 2 mg/kg[2].
    Azilsartan (0-2 mg/kg, Oral gavage, once daily for 21 days) lowers blood pressure and basal plasma insulin concentration[2].
    Azilsartan (2 and 4 mg/kg; PO, daily for 9 days) offers protection against ischemia induced secondary brain injury[4].

    MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

    Animal Model: Male Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats, obese Koletsky rats (n=6 per group)[2]
    Dosage: 0, 1, 2 and 3 mg/kg
    Administration: Oral gavage, once daily (9:00-10:00 hours) for 5 days
    Result: Decreased SBP (systolic blood pressure) in obese Koletsky rats to that of normal rats at 2 mg/kg, whereas the 3 mg/kg dose elicited hypotension.
    Animal Model: Obese Koletsky rats (16, n = 8 per group)[2]
    Dosage: 0 and 2 mg/kg
    Administration: Oral gavage, once daily (9:00-10:00 hours) for 21 days
    Result: Lowered blood pressure, basal plasma insulin concentration and the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance index, and inhibited over-increase of plasma glucose and insulin concentrations during oral glucose tolerance test.
    Animal Model: Male Wistar Rats (240–280 g)[4]
    Dosage: 0, 2, and 4 mg/kg
    Administration: Orally, daily for 9 days, starting 7 days before the day of surgery
    Result: Individual treatments with Azilsartan (2 & 4 mg/kg) and Coenzyme Q10 (HY-N0111) (20 & 40 mg/kg) significantly attenuated the reduction in locomotor activity. Further, combination treatment with azilsartan (2 mg/kg) and Coenzyme Q10 (20 mg/kg) significantly improved the locomotor activity of animals as compared to their effects per se in BCCAO treated animals.

    In Vivo:

    Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

    For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
    To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
    The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

    • Protocol 1

      Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

      Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.48 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

      Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
    • Protocol 2

      Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% Corn Oil

      Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.48 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
