Angiotensin II is a peptide hormone which regulates blood pressure and fluid balance, contributing to hypertension, atherosclerosis, left ventricular hypertrophy, myocardial infarction, and heart failure.{20935} Telmisartan is a nonpeptide angiotensin II receptor antagonist which selectively and insurmountably inhibits the angiotensin II AT1 receptor subtype (Ki = 3.7 nM).{20934} It also acts as a partial agonist of PPARγ, activating the receptor to 25-30% of that produced by the full agonist rosiglitazone (EC50 = 4.5 μM).{20930} Through these actions, telmisartan potently reduces blood pressure in various animal models of hypertension, diminishing cardiac hypertrophy, cardiovascular and renal risk, and glomerulosclerosis.{20932,20931,20933}
