Sacubitril / Valsartan API
CAS Number: 936623-90-4
Sacubitril / Valsartan API
Mechanism of Action
ENTRESTO contains a neprilysin inhibitor, sacubitril, and an angiotensin receptor blocker, valsartan. ENTRESTO inhibits neprilysin (neutral endopeptidase; NEP) via LBQ657, the active metabolite of the prodrug sacubitril, and blocks the angiotensin II type-1 (AT1) receptor via valsartan. The cardiovascular and renal effects of ENTRESTO in heart failure patients are attributed to the increased levels of peptides that are degraded by neprilysin, such as natriuretic peptides, by LBQ657, and the simultaneous inhibition of the effects of angiotensin II by valsartan. Valsartan inhibits the effects of angiotensin II by selectively blocking the AT1 receptor, and also inhibits angiotensin II-dependent aldosterone release
Indication
ENTRESTO is a combination of sacubitril, a neprilysin inhibitor, and valsartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker, indicated to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death and hospitalization for heart failure in patients with chronic heart failure (NYHA Class II-IV) and reduced ejection fraction.
ENTRESTO is usually administered in conjunction with other heart failure therapies, in place of an ACE inhibitor or other ARB.

EMA Nitrosamine Guidance – Deadline March 31, 2021
MAHs should ensure that they and the manufacturing authorization holder have access to all relevant information from the API manufacturers about the potential formation of nitrosamine impurities and the potential for cross-contamination.
The call for review consists of the following three steps:
- Step 1: MAHs to perform a risk evaluation to identify if APIs and/or FPs could be at risk of the presence of N-nitrosamine under the principles outlined in Q&A 7 of the Q&A for the implementation article 5(3):
- Step 2: If a risk is identified, MAHs to proceed with confirmatory testing to confirm or refute the presence of N-nitrosamines, accordance with the principles outlined in Q&As 8 and 9 of the Q&A for the implementation of Article 5(3). MAHs should report the outcomes as soon as possible.
- Step 3: If the presence of N-nitrosamine(s) is confirmed, MAHs should implement effective risk-mitigating measures through the submission of variations:
− to be undertaken before September 26, 2022, for human medicines containing chemically synthesized APIs;
− to be conducted before July 1 2023, for human medicines containing biological active substances.
MAHs are required to respond to the RAs on the outcome of step 1 and step 2 by utilizing agreed published templates provided on the EMA/ CMDh websites.
How we can help
Our regulatory and scientific experts at Dr. Reddy’s were amongst the forerunners in addressing the issue right from the beginning. We provide our customers with a full assessment for all our sartan APIs, which confirm the absence of NDMAs and analytical testing that already comply with the new acceptance limits. In addition to sartan APIs, we’ve performed a complete Step-1 nitrosamine assessment for around 270 chemically synthesized APIs.
Please contact our team of experts at api@drreddys.com for any queries. You can also find further information on our sartan API approach in the whitepaper here

Dr. Reddy’s is featured in an article of Global Pharma Insights on “Nitrosamine contamination: pharma’s re-evaluation of its supply chain”
Dr. Reddy’s was one of the very first API manufacturers to instigate a complete review to ensure that nitrosamine impurities are avoided by design and analytical methods are in place which meet the future stringent limits which have been set by regulatory agencies.
On winning the API Supplier of the Year award at the Generics Bulletin’s Annual Global Generics & Biosimilars Awards 2019, Dr. Reddy’s was also commended on the proactive and methodical approach followed to address the nitrosamine impurities situation with Sartan APIs (such as Valsartan).
