Soluble angiotensin-converting enzyme 2: a potential approach for coronavirus infection therapy?

Clinical science, 2020
A new coronavirus, referred to as SARS-CoV-2, is responsible for the recent outbreak of severe respiratory disease. This outbreak first detected in Wuhan, China in December 2019, has spread to other regions of China and to 25 other countries as of ...

A new angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor from Peperomia pellucida (L.) Kunth

Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Biomedicine, 2019
Objective: To isolate, identify, and evaluate a new angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor from Peperomia pellucida (L.) Kunth herbs. Methods: A dried sample of Peperomia pellucida herb was successively macerated with n-hexane and ethyl acetate.

Renin‐angiotensin aldosterone profile before and after angiotensin‐converting enzyme‐inhibitor administration in dogs with angiotensin‐converting enzyme gene polymorphism

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2020
Background An angiotensin‐converting enzyme (ACE) gene polymorphism occurs in dogs; however, functional importance is not well studied. Hypothesis We hypothesized that dogs with the polymorphism would show alternative renin‐angiotensin aldosterone system

Angiotensin converting enzyme

, 2021
Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) is well known for its dual actions to convert inactive Ang I to active Ang II, and degrades active bradykinin (BK), which plays an important role in controlling blood pressure. Because it is the bottleneck step for the production of pressor Ang II, it was targeted pharmacologically in the 1970s.

Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors [PDF]

Circulation, 1998
Abstract—ACE inhibitors have achieved widespread usage in the treatment of cardiovascular and renal disease. ACE inhibitors alter the balance between the vasoconstrictive, salt-retentive, and hypertrophic properties of angiotensin II (Ang II) and the vasodilatory and natriuretic properties of bradykinin and alter the metabolism of a number of other ...

Organ‐protective effect of angiotensin‐converting enzyme 2 and its effect on the prognosis of COVID‐19

Journal of Medical Virology, 2020
This article reviews the correlation between angiotensin‐converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and severe risk factors for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) and the possible mechanisms. ACE2 is a crucial component of the renin‐angiotensin system (RAS).

Serum angiotensin converting enzyme in pemphigus vulgaris

Indian Journal of Dermatology, 2014
Background: Pemphigus vulgaris is an autoimmune blistering skin disease with unknown etiology. Drugs such as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors may contribute in the pathogenesis of pemphigus.

Angiotensin-(1-7) and angiotensin-(1-9): function in cardiac and vascular remodeling [PDF]

, 2014
The renin angiotensin system (RAS) is integral to cardiovascular physiology, however, dysregulation of this system largely contributes to the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease (CVD).
