The present invention relates to a method of increasing the bioavailability of angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) by preparing a combination of the ARB and at least one solubility enhancer. The present invention particularly relates to solubility enhancers that not only function as solubility enhancers but also improve the dissolution rate in particular in acidic or weakly acidic media where the dissolution of ARBs is minimal. In the composition, the ARB can be present as a physical mixture, solid dispersion, solid solution or complex with the solubility enhancer. Combinations of ARBs and solubility enhancers can be incorporated into immediate or controlled release or other suitable modified release formulations. Immediate release formulations comprising ARB compositions have an in vitro release of at least 40% in acidic media (pH<3). Thus, the bioavailability of the ARB can be increased by at least 20%, as measured by Cmax, AUC0-t and AUC0-∞.

The invention discloses an application of taking oligopeptide and derivatives thereof as a template molecule, and an imprinting technology based preparation method of an angiotensin synthetic receptor. The template molecule comprises any section of a peptide bond at a nitrogen end or a carbon end of an angiotensin II, and derivatives thereof, or any section of the peptide bond at the nitrogen end or the carbon end of an angiotensin I and the derivatives thereof. The application takes the template molecule as an imprint to prepare the angiotensin synthetic receptor; the angiotensin acceptor is prepared in a way that the template molecule, a function monomer, a cross-linking agent, a surface-active agent and the like are mixed according to a certain rate, and then an initiator is added. The acceptor is good in biocompatibility, can high selectively capture and neutralize the angiotensin II and the angiotensin I, and cuts off functions of the angiotensin II and the angiotensin acceptor (AT1) as well as functions of the angiotensin I and angiotensin converzyme (ACE), so as to control the blood pressure. The acceptor can be applied to separation, concentration and measuring of the angiotensin I or II.
