candesartan cilexetil: a prodrug which is metabolized to an active form candesartan to exert its biological effects

Brain Edema: Increased intracellular or extracellular fluid in brain tissue. Cytotoxic brain edema (swelling due to increased intracellular fluid) is indicative of a disturbance in cell metabolism, and is commonly associated with hypoxic or ischemic injuries (see HYPOXIA, BRAIN). An increase in extracellular fluid may be caused by increased brain capillary permeability (vasogenic edema), an osmotic gradient, local blockages in interstitial fluid pathways, or by obstruction of CSF flow (e.g., obstructive HYDROCEPHALUS). (From Childs Nerv Syst 1992 Sep; 8(6):301-6)

"In order to investigate the role of Angiotensin II (AII) for the vasogenic cerebral edema, the AT1 receptor antagonist (TCV-116) was administered to 19-week-old stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP) for 2 weeks at a dosage which did not decrease the blood pressure."1.31AT1 receptor antagonist prevents brain edema without lowering blood pressure.
