Chemical Properties
An angiotensin II receptor antagonist belonging to the angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor blockers.
Interacts with angiotensin II receptors in vascular smooth muscle, leading to relaxation of the smooth muscle and subsequent dilation of the peripheral arterioles and reduction of blood pressure.
