- Product Overview:
Angiotensin II, as part of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, facilitates a sympathetic nervous system response mediated by the angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor, causing vasoconstriction and subsequent increase in blood pressure. It potentiates noradrenaline release from sympathetic nerve terminals at the presynaptic level as well as amplifies the ?-adrenoceptor-mediated vasoconstrictor response to endogenous noradrenaline. Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) are a major class of therapeutics designed to lower blood pressure and to provide cardiovascular protection.{20999,21000} Eprosartan (mesylate) is a competitive AT1 receptor antagonist with IC50 values ranging from 1.4 – 3.9 nM and an elimination half-life of five to seven hours.{21001} Eprosartan is structurally distinct from other noncompetitive ARBs in that it does not contain a biphenyl, tetrazole moiety and blocks angiotensin II receptors on both sympathetic nerve terminals and blood vessels.{21000}
Cayman Chemical’s mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.
Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.
Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.
Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
