National Library of Medicine's Medical Subject Headings. Telmisartan. Online file (MeSH, 2014). Available from, as of September 2, 2014: https://www.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/2014/mesh_browser/MBrowser.html
Micardis is indicated for the treatment of hypertension, to lower blood pressure. Lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events, primarily strokes and myocardial infarctions. These benefits have been seen in controlled trials of antihypertensive drugs from a wide variety of pharmacologic classes including the class to which this drug principally belongs. Control of high blood pressure should be part of comprehensive cardiovascular risk management, including, as appropriate, lipid control, diabetes management, antithrombotic therapy, smoking cessation, exercise, and limited sodium intake. Many patients will require more than one drug to achieve blood pressure goals. ... Numerous antihypertensive drugs, from a variety of pharmacologic classes and with different mechanisms of action, have been shown in randomized controlled trials to reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, and it can be concluded that it is blood pressure reduction, and not some other pharmacologic property of the drugs, that is largely responsible for those benefits. The largest and most consistent cardiovascular outcome benefit has been a reduction in the risk of stroke, but reductions in myocardial infarction and cardiovascular mortality also have been seen regularly. Elevated systolic or diastolic pressure causes increased cardiovascular risk, and the absolute risk increase per mmHg is greater at higher blood pressures, so that even modest reductions of severe hypertension can provide substantial benefit. Relative risk reduction from blood pressure reduction is similar across populations with varying absolute risk, so the absolute benefit is greater in patients who are at higher risk independent of their hypertension (for example, patients with diabetes or hyperlipidemia), and such patients would be expected to benefit from more aggressive treatment to a lower blood pressure goal. Some antihypertensive drugs have smaller blood pressure effects (as monotherapy) in black patients, and many antihypertensive drugs have additional approved indications and effects (e.g., on angina, heart failure, or diabetic kidney disease). These considerations may guide selection of therapy. /Micardis/ may be used alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents /Included in US product labeling/

Micardis is indicated for reduction of the risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, or death from cardiovascular causes in patients 55 years of age or older at high risk of developing major cardiovascular events who are unable to take ACE inhibitors. High risk for cardiovascular events can be evidenced by a history of coronary artery disease, peripheral arterial disease, stroke, transient ischemic attack, or high-risk diabetes (insulin-dependent or non-insulin dependent) with evidence of end-organ damage. Micardis can be used in addition to other needed treatment (such as antihypertensive, antiplatelet or lipid-lowering therapy). Studies of telmisartan in this setting do not exclude the possibility that telmisartan may not preserve a meaningful fraction of the effect of the ACE inhibitor to which it was compared. Consider using the ACE inhibitor first, and, if it is stopped for cough only, consider re-trying the ACE inhibitor after the cough resolves. /Included in US product label/

Both angiotensin II receptor antagonists /including telmisartan/ and ACE inhibitors have been shown to slow the rate of progression of renal disease in hypertensive patients with diabetes mellitus and microalbuminuria or overt nephropathy, and use of a drug from either class is recommended in such patients. /NOT included in US product label/

/BOXED WARNING/ WARNING: FETAL TOXICITY. When pregnancy is detected, discontinue Micardis as soon as possible. Drugs that act directly on the renin-angiotensin system can cause injury and death to the developing fetus.
NIH; DailyMed. Current Medication Information for MIicardis (Telmisartan) Tablet (Revised: October 2012). Available from, as of October 9, 2014: https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/lookup.cfm?setid=cfb9309f-e0df-4a55-9542-0e869fce05fb
Use of drugs that act on the renin-angiotensin system during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy reduces fetal renal function and increases fetal and neonatal morbidity and death. Resulting oligohydramnios can be associated with fetal lung hypoplasia and skeletal deformations. Potential neonatal adverse effects include skull hypoplasia, anuria, hypotension, renal failure, and death. When pregnancy is detected, discontinue Micardis as soon as possible. These adverse outcomes are usually associated with use of these drugs in the second and third trimester of pregnancy. Most epidemiologic studies examining fetal abnormalities after exposure to antihypertensive use in the first trimester have not distinguished drugs affecting the renin-angiotensin system from other antihypertensive agents. Appropriate management of maternal hypertension during pregnancy is important to optimize outcomes for both mother and fetus. In the unusual case that there is no appropriate alternative to therapy with drugs affecting the reninangiotensin system for a particular patient, apprise the mother of the potential risk to the fetus. Perform serial ultrasound examinations to assess the intra-amniotic environment. If oligohydramnios is observed, discontinue Micardis, unless it is considered lifesaving for the mother. Fetal testing may be appropriate, based on the week of pregnancy. Patients and physicians should be aware, however, that oligohydramnios may not appear until after the fetus has sustained irreversible injury.

Neonates with a history of in utero exposure to Micardis: If oliguria or hypotension occurs, direct attention toward support of blood pressure and renal perfusion. Exchange transfusions or dialysis may be required as a means of reversing hypotension and/or substituting for disordered renal function.

Telmisartan is an orally active nonpeptide angiotensin II antagonist that acts on the AT1 receptor subtype. It has the highest affinity for the AT1 receptor among commercially available ARBS and has minimal affinity for the AT2 receptor. New studies suggest that telmisartan may also have PPARγ agonistic properties that could potentially confer beneficial metabolic effects, as PPARγ is a nuclear receptor that regulates specific gene transcription, and whose target genes are involved in the regulation of glucose and lipid metabolism, as well as anti-inflammatory responses. This observation is currently being explored in clinical trials. Angiotensin II is formed from angiotensin I in a reaction catalyzed by angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE, kininase II). Angiotensin II is the principal pressor agent of the renin-angiotensin system, with effects that include vasoconstriction, stimulation of synthesis and release of aldosterone, cardiac stimulation, and renal reabsorption of sodium. Telmisartan works by blocking the vasoconstrictor and aldosterone secretory effects of angiotensin II.
Angiotensin II Type 1 Receptor Blockers
Agents that antagonize ANGIOTENSIN II TYPE 1 RECEPTOR. Included are ANGIOTENSIN II analogs such as SARALASIN and biphenylimidazoles such as LOSARTAN. Some are used as ANTIHYPERTENSIVE AGENTS. (See all compounds classified as Angiotensin II Type 1 Receptor Blockers.)
Antihypertensive Agents
Drugs used in the treatment of acute or chronic vascular HYPERTENSION regardless of pharmacological mechanism. Among the antihypertensive agents are DIURETICS; (especially DIURETICS, THIAZIDE); ADRENERGIC BETA-ANTAGONISTS; ADRENERGIC ALPHA-ANTAGONISTS; ANGIOTENSIN-CONVERTING ENZYME INHIBITORS; CALCIUM CHANNEL BLOCKERS; GANGLIONIC BLOCKERS; and VASODILATOR AGENTS.

Absorption
Absolute bioavailability depends on dosage. Food slightly decreases the bioavailability (a decrease of about 6% is seen when the 40-mg dose is administered with food).
Route of Elimination
Following either intravenous or oral administration of 14C-labeled telmisartan, most of the administered dose (>97%) was eliminated unchanged in feces via biliary excretion; only minute amounts were found in the urine (0.91% and 0.49% of total radioactivity, respectively).

NIH; DailyMed. Current Medication Information for MIicardis (Telmisartan) Tablet (Revised: October 2012). Available from, as of October 9, 2014: https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/lookup.cfm?setid=cfb9309f-e0df-4a55-9542-0e869fce05fb
Following oral administration, peak concentrations (Cmax) of telmisartan are reached in 0.5 to 1 hour after dosing. Food slightly reduces the bioavailability of telmisartan, with a reduction in the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) of about 6% with the 40 mg tablet and about 20% after a 160 mg dose. The absolute bioavailability of telmisartan is dose dependent. At 40 and 160 mg the bioavailability was 42% and 58%, respectively. The pharmacokinetics of orally administered telmisartan are nonlinear over the dose range 20 to 160 mg, with greater than proportional increases of plasma concentrations (Cmax and AUC) with increasing doses. Telmisartan shows bi-exponential decay kinetics with a terminal elimination half life of approximately 24 hours. Trough plasma concentrations of telmisartan with once daily dosing are about 10% to 25% of peak plasma concentrations. Telmisartan has an accumulation index in plasma of 1.5 to 2.0 upon repeated once daily dosing.

To study the pharmacolkinetics of telmisartan in healthy Chinese male subjects after oral administration of two dosage levels, 36 healthy subjects were divided into two groups and given a single oral dose of 40 or 80 mg telmisartan (CAS 144701-48-4, MicardisPlus). A sensitive liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method (LC-MS-MS) was used for the determination of telmisartan in plasma. Both, a non-compartmental and compartmental method were used for analysis of parameters of kinetics. The main pharmacokinetic parameters of the 40 mg and 80 mg regimen group were as follows: t(max) (1.76 +/- 1.75) h, (1.56 +/- 1.09) h, C(max) (163.2 +/- 128.4) ng/mL, (905.7 +/- 583.4) ng/mL, t1/2 (23.6 +/- 10.8) h, (23.0 +/- 6.4) h, AUC(o-t) (1456 +/- 1072) ng x h/mL, (6759 +/- 3754) ng x h/mL, AUC(o-infinity (1611 +/- 1180) ng x h/mL, (7588 +/- 4661) ng x h/mL, respectively. After dose normalization, there was significant difference for main pharmacokinetic parameters C(max) AUC(o-t) and AUC(o-infinity) between two dosage level groups. The plasma concentration-time profile of telmisartan was characterized by a high degree of inter-individual variability and the disposition of telmisartan in healthy Chinese subjects was dose-dependent. The pharmacokinetic parameters C(max) and AUC(o-inifinity) of the 80 mg regimen group increased to about 5-fold compared to that of the 40 mg regimen group, but there was no significant difference for t(max) and t1/2 between the two dose groups.

Telmisartan interferes with the binding of angiotensin II to the angiotensin II AT1-receptor by binding reversibly and selectively to the receptors in vascular smooth muscle and the adrenal gland. As angiotensin II is a vasoconstrictor, which also stimulates the synthesis and release of aldosterone, blockage of its effects results in decreases in systemic vascular resistance. Telmisartan does not inhibit the angiotensin converting enzyme, other hormone receptors, or ion channels. Studies also suggest that telmisartan is a partial agonist of PPARγ, which is an established target for antidiabetic drugs. This suggests that telmisartan can improve carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, as well as control insulin resistance without causing the side effects that are associated with full PPARγ activators.
Migration of CD4-positive lymphocytes into the vessel wall represents an important step in early atherogenesis. Telmisartan is an angiotensin type 1 receptor (AT1R) blocker with peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-gamma-activating properties. The present study examined the effect of telmisartan on CD4-positive cell migration and the role of PPARgamma in this context. CD4-positive lymphocytes express both the AT1R and PPARgamma. Stimulation of CD4-positive lymphocytes with stromal cell-derived factor (SDF)-1 leads to a 4.1+/-3.1-fold increase in cell migration. Pretreatment of cells with telmisartan reduces this effect in a concentration-dependent manner to a maximal 1.6+/-0.7-fold induction at 10 mumol/L of telmisartan (P<0.01 compared with SDF-1-treated cells; n=22). Three different PPARgamma activators, rosiglitazone, pioglitazone, and GW1929, had similar effects, whereas eprosartan, a non-PPARgamma-activating AT1R blocker, did not affect chemokine-induced lymphocyte migration. Telmisartan's effect on CD4-positive lymphocyte migration was mediated through an early inhibition of chemokine-induced phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activity. Downstream, telmisartan inhibited F-actin formation, as well as intercellular adhesion molecule-3 translocation. Transfection of CD4-positive lymphocytes with PPARgamma small interfering RNA abolished telmisartan's effect on migration, whereas blockade of the AT1R had no such effect. Telmisartan inhibits chemokine-induced CD4-positive cell migration independent of the AT1R via PPARgamma. These data provide a novel mechanism to explain how telmisartan modulates lymphocyte activation by its PPARgamma-activating properties.

Angiotensin II is formed from angiotensin I in a reaction catalyzed by angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE, kininase II). Angiotensin II is the principal pressor agent of the renin-angiotensin system, with effects that include vasoconstriction, stimulation of synthesis and release of aldosterone, cardiac stimulation, and renal reabsorption of sodium. Telmisartan blocks the vasoconstrictor and aldosterone-secreting effects of angiotensin II by selectively blocking the binding of angiotensin II to the AT1 receptor in many tissues, such as vascular smooth muscle and the adrenal gland. Its action is therefore independent of the pathways for angiotensin II synthesis. There is also an AT2 receptor found in many tissues, but AT2 is not known to be associated with cardiovascular homeostasis. Telmisartan has much greater affinity (>3,000 fold) for the AT1 receptor than for the AT2 receptor. Blockade of the renin-angiotensin system with ACE inhibitors, which inhibit the biosynthesis of angiotensin II from angiotensin I, is widely used in the treatment of hypertension. ACE inhibitors also inhibit the degradation of bradykinin, a reaction also catalyzed by ACE. Because telmisartan does not inhibit ACE (kininase II), it does not affect the response to bradykinin. Whether this difference has clinical relevance is not yet known. Telmisartan does not bind to or block other hormone receptors or ion channels known to be important in cardiovascular regulation. Blockade of the angiotensin II receptor inhibits the negative regulatory feedback of angiotensin II on renin secretion, but the resulting increased plasma renin activity and angiotensin II circulating levels do not overcome the effect of telmisartan on blood pressure.

... The receptor-independent protective role of an angiotensin II receptor 1 blocker (ARB) /was investigated/ using primary-cultured mesangial cells from angiotensin II receptor 1 knockout or wild-type mice and a highly lipophilic ARB, telmisartan. Intracellular reactive oxygen species were estimated using a fluorogenic probe, CM-H2DCFDA. Non-angiotensin II-induced reactive oxygen species production was generated by exposing cells to hydrogen peroxide alone or after treatment with telmisartan. Flow cytometry analysis showed that angiotensin II induced an increase in oxidant production in a dose-dependent manner in wild-type cells, but not in knockout cells. In contrast, hydrogen peroxide induced oxidative stress in both wild-type and knockout cells. Interestingly, telmisartan attenuated the oxidative stress induced by hydrogen peroxide in both cells, suggesting that it acted via a receptor-independent antioxidant effect. Intracellular concentrations of telmisartan were confirmed by high-performance liquid chromatography analysis. Expression of plasminogen activator inhibitor 1, which is stimulated by oxidative stress, was also attenuated by telmisartan in a receptor-independent as well as receptor-dependent manner. Telmisartan did not change expression levels of antioxidative enzymes such as catalase or glutathione peroxidase. Furthermore, the amelioration of oxidative stress by telmisartan did not involve the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma pathway. Telmisartan inhibits intracellular oxidative stress, at least in part, in a receptor-independent manner, possibly owing to its lipophilic and antioxidant structure.

Telmisartan, an angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R) antagonist, was found to have a unique property: it is a partial agonist of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma). ... /This study/ examined whether telmisartan affects AT1R expression in vascular smooth muscle cells ... derived from the thoracic aorta of Wistar-Kyoto rat. ... Telmisartan decreased the expression of AT1R at the mRNA and protein levels in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Decreased AT1R promoter activity with unchanged mRNA stability suggested that telmisartan suppressed AT1R gene expression at the transcriptional level. However, the expression of AT1R was not suppressed by other AT1R antagonists such as candesartan or olmesartan. Since the suppression of AT1R expression was prevented by pretreatment with GW9662, a PPARgamma antagonist, PPARgamma should have participated in the process. The deletion and mutation analysis of the AT1R gene promoter indicated that a GC box located in the proximal promoter region is responsible for the telmisartan-induced downregulation. Data provides a novel insight into an effect of telmisartan: telmisartan inhibits AT1R gene expression through PPARgamma activation. The dual inhibition of angiotensin II function by telmisartan - AT1R blockade and downregulation - would contribute to more complete inhibition of the renin-angiotensin system.
