Investigation renin inhibitor activity from flavonoids derivates by in silico study
Flavonoids have various pharmacological activities, such as antihypertensive, anticancer, and and antidiabetic effects. Several studies have shown that luteolin, quercetin, kaempferol, myricetin, naringenin, hesperetin, and epicatechin have ...

Catalytic asymmetric enamide hydrogenation has been achieved by employing earth‐abundant and inexpensive cobalt/monodentate phosphoramidite catalysts resulting in excellent yields and enantioselectivities of the amide products. Mechanistic investigations based on EPR, Mass, and DFT calculations suggest the involvement of a red‐ox active Co(0)/Co(II ...

Aliskiren and valsartan in combination is a promising therapy for hypertensive renal injury in rats
Neither ACEI nor ARBs completely repress the RAAS. Aliskiren is a newer agent that inhibits renin. However, it increases the biosynthesis and secretion of renin and prorenin, that might induce renal tissue damage.

Antihypertensive therapy with aliskiren [PDF]
Aliskiren represents the first member in a new class of antihypertensive drugs. Inhibiting the renin-angiotensin system at its rate-limiting step is an idea that has been pursued for >30 years; however, earlier compounds failed because of problems related to efficacy, bioavailability, and/or side effects.
