Active ingredients

	Sacubitril is a prodrug and its active metabolite, LBQ657, inhibits neprilysin (neutral endopeptidase; NEP). The complementary cardiovascular benefits in heart failure patients are attributed to the enhancement of peptides that are degraded by neprilysin, such as natriuretic peptides (NP), by LBQ657.
