Background

Aliskiren is the first drug in the renin inhibitor drug class and is used for the treatment of hypertension.5 It was developed by Speedel and Novartis and initially approved by the FDA in early 2007.10 Aliskiren has been proven to efficacious in reducing blood pressure when used alone or in conjunction with other antihypertensive agents.5

Pharmacodynamics

Aliskiren reduces blood pressure by inhibiting renin. This leads to a cascade of events that decreases blood pressure, lowering the risk of fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events including stroke and myocardial infarction.2,9

Mechanism of action

Aliskiren is a renin inhibitor.9 Renin is secreted by the kidneys when blood volume and renal perfusion decrease. It normally cleaves the protein angiotensinogen to form angiotensin I. Angiotensin I is then converted to angiotensin II, an active protein. Angiotensin II is a potent vasoconstrictor that causes the release of catecholamines into the circulation. It also promotes the secretion of aldosterone in addition to sodium reabsorption, increasing blood pressure. Additionally, angiotensin II acts on the adrenal cortex where it stimulates aldosterone release. Aldosterone increases sodium reabsorption and potassium excretion in the nephron. 11

Aliskiren prevents the above process via binding to renin at its active site, stopping the cleavage of angiotensin, in turn inhibiting the formation of angiotensin I. This ends the cascade of angiotensin II mediated mechanisms that normally increase blood pressure.5

Absorption

Aliskiren is absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract and is poorly absorbed with a bioavailability between 2.0 and 2.5%.6,9 Peak plasma concentrations of aliskiren are achieved between 1 to 3 hours after administration.6,9 Steady-state concentrations of aliskiren are achieved within 7-8 days of regular administration.1

Volume of distribution

Unchanged aliskiren accounts for about 80% of the drug found in the plasma.7,9

Protein binding

The plasma protein binding of aliskiren ranges from 47-51%.1,6

Metabolism

About 80% of the drug in plasma following oral administration is unchanged. Two major metabolites account for about 1-3% of aliskiren in the plasma. One metabolite is an O-demethylated alcohol derivative and the other is a carboxylic acid derivative. Minor oxidized and hydrolyzed metabolites may also be found in the plasma.7,9

Route of elimination

Aliskiren is mainly excreted via the hepatobiliary route and by oxidative metabolism by hepatic cytochrome enzymes.1 Approximately one-quarter of the absorbed dose appears in the urine as unchanged parent drug. 9 One pharmacokinetic study of radiolabeled aliskiren detected 0.6% radioactivity in the urine and more than 80% in the feces, suggesting that aliskiren is mainly eliminated by the fecal route.7

Half-life

Plasma half-life for aliskiren can range from 30 to 40 hours 7 with an accumulation half-life of about 24 hours.7

Clearance

Aliskiren is partially cleared in the kidneys, and safety data have not been established for patients with a creatinine clearance of less than 30 mL/min.9 One pharmacokinetic study revealed an average renal clearance of 1280 +/- 500 mL/hour in healthy volunteers.8

Toxicity

The oral LD50 of aliskiren in rats is >2000 mg/kg.14 Overdose information is limited in the literature, however, an overdose with aliskiren is likely to result in hypotension. Supportive treatment should be initiated in the case of an overdose.9,15

DrugInteraction
AbaloparatideThe risk or severity of adverse effects can be increased when Abaloparatide is combined with Aliskiren.
AbametapirThe serum concentration of Aliskiren can be increased when it is combined with Abametapir.
AcebutololAcebutolol may increase the hypotensive activities of Aliskiren.
AceclofenacThe risk or severity of renal failure and hypertension can be increased when Aceclofenac is combined with Aliskiren.
AcemetacinThe risk or severity of renal failure and hypertension can be increased when Acemetacin is combined with Aliskiren.
Food Interactions
  • Do not take with or immediately after a high-fat meal. The absorption of aliskiren is substantially reduced by taking it with high-fat meals.
  • Take with or without food. Take consistently at the same time in regard to meals.
