Mice were treated with aliskiren (renin inhibitor), irbesartan (angiotensin-receptor blocker), atenolol (beta-blocker), or amlodipine (calcium channel blocker).

Angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) have demonstrated a blood pressure lowering efficacy which is at least comparable with other drug classes, including ACE inhibitors (ACE-I), beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers and diuretics.

It was revealed that a 5-(dimethylamino) pentylamino group at R (1), a biphenyl group at R (2), and a benzyl amido group at R (3) in the 3,4-dihydroquinazoline backbone are closely related with the channel selectivity (T/N-type) as well as the potency based on the discovery of 6k (KYS05090).

Nephron Clin Pract. 2008;108(4):c291-7. Epub 2008 Apr 24.


METHODS: One hundred and ninety-six patients of the Irbesartan in Diabetic Nephropathy Trial cohort (mean age 61 +/- 6.5 years, 62 female, 134 male) with a mean estimated glomerular filtration rate of 47.7 ml/min were treated with irbesartan (n = 65), the calcium channel blocker amlodipine (n = 61) or by placebo (n = 70).

The following treatments were used at baseline: diuretic 83%, beta-blocker 59%, calcium channel blocker 40%, ACE inhibitor 25%, spironolactone 15% and digoxin 14%.

Three treatment strategies were evaluated: (i) 'control' regimen of conventional antihypertensive therapy (excluding angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin-2-receptor antagonists and dihydropyridine calcium-channel blockers), (ii) 'early irbesartan' 300 mg daily and (iii) 'late irbesartan' 300 mg daily (started when overt nephropathy developed).

The methodology described offers a fast, efficient, and cost-effective new access to diversely functionalized biphenyl alcohols and ethers.
Two examples for the applicability of the methodology are the partial synthesis of a beta-secretase inhibitor and the synthesis of a calcium-channel modulator.
