   Losartan, valsartan, candesartan, irbesartan, telmisartan and olmesartan all contain a biphenyl-methyl group. Losartan is partly metabolized to its 5- carboxylic acid metabolite EXP 3174, which is a more potent AT 1 receptor antagonist than its parent compound [ 17 ] and has been a model for the continuing development of several other ARBs.
