Imarikiren hydrochloride
Imarikiren hydrochloride (AK-272) is an orally active, selective Renin inhibitor with an IC50 value of 2.1 nM against h-Renin. Imarikiren hydrochloride blocks the conversion of Angiotensinogen to Angiotensin I and reduces mean arterial pressure by inhibiting Angiotensin II that binds to AT1. Imarikiren hydrochloride alleviates myocardial hypertrophy and pulmonary congestion, exerting cardioprotective effects. Imarikiren hydrochloride can be used in research related to hypertension and heart failure.

AT1 Receptor |
Imarikiren hydrochloride potently inhibits endogenous plasma renin with an IC50 of 2.1 nM; it exhibits no significant inhibitory activity against pepsin or cathepsin D even at concentrations as high as 10 μM[1].
Imarikiren (0.5 nM-500 mM) hydrochloride potently inhibits plasma renin (with an IC50 of 2.1 nM) and mouse plasma renin (with an IC50 of 53 nM) in vitro[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Imarikiren (30-300 mg/kg; p.o.; once daily; 36 days) hydrochloride prolongs survival in CSQ-tg heart failure mice in a dose-dependent manner, with the 300 mg/kg dose producing a statistically significant survival benefit[2].
Imarikiren (30-300 mg/kg; p.o.; once daily; 12-13 days, 16-17 days, or 19 days) hydrochloride at 300 mg/kg reduces cardiac hypertrophy, lung congestion, and plasma heart failure biomarkers, inhibits left ventricular systolic dysfunction, and reduces cardiomyocyte injury in CSQ-tg heart failure mice, while 100 mg/kg reduces lung congestion[2].
Imarikiren (300 mg/kg; p.o.) hydrochloride potently inhibits plasma renin activity in CSQ-tg heart failure mice without reducing systolic blood pressure[2].
