LCZ696 is a drug for heart failure developed by Novartis, which is a life-threatening * disease. The heart of the patient can not pump enough blood to supply the whole body. Symptoms such as dyspnea, fatigue and fluid retention can slowly appear and gradually increase, which will obviously affect the quality of life.
LCZ696 is a dual effect angiotensin receptor enkephalinase inhibitor, which has a unique mode of action and is considered to reduce the strain of heart failure. Lcz696 can enhance the body's natural defense against heart failure and increase the levels of natriuretic peptide and other endogenous vasoactive peptides, It also inhibits renin angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS). Lcz696 combines Novartis' hypertension drug Devon (common name: Valsartan) and experimental drug ahu-377. Ahu377 can block the action mechanism of two peptides responsible for reducing blood pressure, while Diovan can improve vasodilation and stimulate the body to excrete sodium and water.
