Angiotensin II (AT-II)-Receptor Antagonists are Reviewed. Research focused on blocking the renin- angiotensin system (RAS) led to the discovery of angiotensin-converting-enzyme (ACE) inhibitors ...

The potential benefit of angiotensin II-receptor antagonism is not limited to well-tolerated blood pressure control. Angiotensin II has complex effects on the heart and kidneys. Blocking the ...

This important study shows, for the first time, the structure and snapshots of the dynamics of the full-length soluble Angiotensin-I converting enzyme dimer. The combination of structural and ...

The dual-action agent LCZ696 blocks the angiotensin II receptor (via a valsartan moiety) and inhibits neprilysin (via an AHU377 moiety). In a phase II trial, this drug “demonstrated superior ...
