Mechanism of action

Sacubitril is a prodrug that is activated to sacubitrilat (LBQ657) by de-ethylation via esterases.[2] Sacubitrilat inhibits the enzyme neprilysin,[3] which is responsible for the degradation of atrial and brain natriuretic peptide, two blood pressure–lowering peptides that work mainly by reducing blood volume.[4] In addition, neprilysin degrades a variety of peptides including bradykinin,[5] an inflammatory mediator, exerting potent vasodilatory action.
