Aliskiren si lega alla tasca secondaria S3sp
della renina
La tasca secondaria S3sp
distingue la renina dalle altre
aspartil proteasi.
Il legame di aliskiren alla tasca
secondaria S3sp della renina
(alloggiandovi la catena
secondaria metossialcossilica
dell’inibitore) è alla base della
sua specificità per la renina
umana rispetto alle altre
aspartil proteasi.

Conclusioni
Aliskiren è il primo di una nuova classe di farmaci che antagonizzano
l’attività del SRAA inibendo direttamente l’attività enzimatica della
renina
Aliskiren è l’unico farmaco che inibisce i meccanismi di
controregolazione che possono limitare l’efficacia degli altri bloccanti
del SRAA (ACEI/ARB)
In studi controllati la riduzione della pressione arteriosa indotta da
aliskiren è uguale o superiore a quella di alcuni ACEI/ARB
Grazie alla elevata concentrazione a livello renale e alla interferenza
del binding di renina e prorenina agli specifici recettori, aliskiren
potrebbe esercitare effetti locali di protezione d’organo indipendenti
dall’effetto antipertensivo
