Sacubitril is a prodrug that is activated to sacubitrilat (LBQ657) by de-ethylation via esterases. [2] Sacubitrilat inhibits the enzyme neprilysin, [3] which is responsible for the degradation of atrial and brain natriuretic peptide, two blood pressure–lowering peptides that work mainly by reducing blood volume. [4]
Sacubitril is a prodrug that is activated to sacubitrilat (LBQ657) by de-ethylation via esterases. [25] Sacubitrilat inhibits the enzyme neprilysin, [26] a neutral endopeptidase that degrades vasoactive peptides, including natriuretic peptides, bradykinin, and adrenomedullin. Thus, sacubitril increases the levels of these peptides, causing ...
Sacubitril/valsartan (Entresto/LCZ696), which has been tested against enalapril in patients with heart failure. [18] Sacubitril (AHU-377), a prodrug which is a component of sacubitril/valsartan; Sacubitrilat (LBQ657), the active form of sacubitril; RB-101, an enkephalinase inhibitor, used in scientific research.

Sacubitrilat (INN; or LBQ657) is the active metabolite of the antihypertensive drug sacubitril, [1] which is used in the treatment of heart failure. [2] References
We must turn back from radical pro-drug abuse ideologies and laws that are devoid of accountability and personal responsibility, putting innocent people at risk. It is not love and compassion to ...
Valsartan, sold under the brand name Diovan among others, is a medication used to treat high blood pressure, heart failure, and diabetic kidney disease. [8] It belongs to a class of medications referred to as angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs).
A prodrug is a pharmacologically inactive medication or compound that, after intake, is metabolized (i.e., converted within the body) into a pharmacologically active drug. [1] [2] Instead of administering a drug directly, a corresponding prodrug can be used to improve how the drug is absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and excreted . [3] [4]
ATC code C09 Agents acting on the renin–angiotensin system is a therapeutic subgroup of the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical Classification System, a system of alphanumeric codes developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) for the classification of drugs and other medical products.
