Inhibición dual de la neprilisina y el receptor de angiotensina II: nueva estrategia prometedora en el tratamiento de la enfermedad cardiovascular

Article information

La inhibición de neprilisina y el bloqueo de los receptores de angiotensina II, ofrecen beneficios potenciales para el tratamiento de las enfermedades cardiovasculares. El compuesto LCZ696 es el primer fármaco en fase de estudio como inhibidor de la neprilisina y de los receptores de angiotensina. El aumento de la concentración de los péptidos natriuréticos a través de la inhibición de la neprilisina, representa un enfoque terapéutico que tiene el potencial de conferir protección cardiaca, renal y vascular. Sin embargo, diversos estudios demuestran que los beneficios clínicos de la inhibición de la neprilisina pueden ser mejor aprovechados si se inhibe simultáneamente el sistema renina-angiotensina. Esta revisión realizada en PubMed, tiene como objetivo presentar los avances prometedores en el mecanismo dual de inhibición de la neprilisina y el receptor de angiotensina II para el tratamiento de la hipertensión y la insuficiencia cardiaca.

Neprilysin inhibition and angiotensin II receptor blockade offer potential benefits for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. The compound LCZ696 is the first drug under study phase as an inhibitor of neprilysin and angiotensin receptors. The increase of the concentration of the natriuretic peptides through the inhibition of neprilysin represents a therapeutic approach which has the potential of conferring cardiac, renal and vascular protection. However, several studies show that the clinical benefits of neprilysin inhibition can be better utilized if the renin-angiotensin system is simultaneously inhibited. This review realized in PubMed aims to present the promising advances in the dual mechanism of inhibition of neprilysin and angiotensin II receptor for the treatment of hypertension and heart failure.
