Losartan, candesartan, and zolarsartan are AT1 receptor antagonists that inhibit the effect of angiotensin II. We have examined their glucuronidation by liver microsomes from several animals and by recombinant human UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs). Large differences in the production of different glucuronide regioisomers of the three sartans were observed among liver microsomes from human (HLM), rabbit, rat, pig, moose, and bovine. ...
