Candesartan (also named Blopress or Atacand) is an active metabolite of angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) pro drug, candesartan cilexetil. Candesartan cilexetil converts to candesartan rapidly in gastrointestinal tract during absorption. Candesartan competes with angiotensin II to bind type-1 angiotensin II receptor (AT1) in many tissues (e.g. vascular smooth muscle, the adrenal glands, etc.) to prevent increasing sodium, water reabsorption and peripheral resistance (that will lead to increasing blood pressure) via aldosterone secretion that is caused by angiotensin II. Therefore, action of candesartan binding to AT1 will result in decreasing blood pressure. For more information on the effects of aldosterone on electrolyte and water excretion, refer to the description of the spironolactone or triamterene pathways, which describes the mechanism of direct aldosterone antagonists. Candesartan is an effective agent for reducing blood pressure and may be used to treat essential hypertension and heart failure.
