Azilsartan is a selective AT1 subtype angiotensin II receptor antagonist. Effects mediated by the activation of AT1 receptors include vasoconstriction, production and release of aldosterone, sodium reabsorption by the kidney, and activation of the sympathetic nervous system. AT2 receptors function to oppose the effects of AT1 receptors. ................
