Rasilez® (aliskiren) is the first drug from direct renin inhibitors class (DRI), which is used to treat arterial hypertension. The first aim of the «DRIve» program (Open observational, international, multicenter, prospective study to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of the first direct renin inhibitor Rasilez® (aliskiren) in patients with arterial hypertension in a real life setting) is to collect information about the efficacy, safety and tolerability of Rasilez (aliskiren) in monotherapy or in combination with other drugs in a real life setting for 6 months of therapy. Secondary aims were to analyze the patient acceptance of therapy and additional factors determining the outcome of Rasilez treatment. The program had been holding out from October 2009 until July 2011 in 17 cities of Russia.

The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) activity is a key factor in the pathophysiology and development of hypertension, atherosclerosis, heart failure, and renal disease. It is unclear whether angiotensin-converting-enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin-receptor blockers (ARBs) have fully delivered the expected reductions in cardiovascular risk. In fact, the optimized RAS suppression is difficult to achieve with these agents, partly because ACE inhibitors and ARBs both activate compensatory feedback mechanisms that result in renin release and increase plasma renin activity (PRA). Molecular modeling was used to develop aliskiren, a potent, low-molecular-weight, nonpeptide, direct renin inhibitor with sufficient bioavailability to produce sustained suppression of PRA after oral administration. This report discusses the mechanisms of action of oral renin inhibitors and their pharmacokinetic properties. In addition, the report also evaluates the available data regarding the effects of the renin inhibitor aliskiren in the treatment of hypertension and related cardiovascular disorders.
