Tissue Angiotensin II Generating System by Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme and Chymase

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2006
.: It had been believed that angiotensin II (Ang II) was produced by the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), which was established in the 1950’s. After a while, people realized that the multiple functions of Ang II could not be explained by the conventional ...

Redirecting the Peptide Cleavage Causes Protease Inactivation

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
Cysteine proteases catalyze substrate cleavage by a two‐step acyl transfer mechanism. Newly designed peptidic inhibitors of human cathepsin B with N‐terminal carbamate warheads undergo a redirected cleavage and generate non‐canonical covalent complexes.

Multiple Mechanisms for the Action of Chymase Inhibitors

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2012
Angiotensin II plays an important role in regulating blood pressure. Moreover, angiotensin II directly promotes organ damage by inducing expression of various genes, such as transforming growth factor (TGF)-β and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 ...

A Case Report of Angiotensin II Use in the Treatment of Refractory Shock due to Amlodipine and Lisinopril Toxicity

open access: yesCase Reports in Critical Care
Conclusion: Despite evidence of efficacy in refractory vasodilatory shock secondary to sepsis, there is a paucity of data on the use of angiotensin II as an adjunctive vasopressor in drug-induced shock.

Effect of Long‐Term Voclosporin Treatment on Renal Histology in Patients With Active Lupus Nephritis With Repeat Renal Biopsies

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective This study characterized the impact of voclosporin on kidney histology in patients with lupus nephritis (LN) who had protocolized repeat kidney biopsies in the AURORA clinical trials. Methods Patients were randomized to voclosporin or placebo treatment for up to 3 years; all patients received mycophenolate mofetil and low‐dose glucocorticoids.

The tacrolimus concentration‐to‐dose ratio is associated with kidney function in heart transplant recipients

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim Heart transplantation (HT) is frequently complicated by chronic kidney disease, of which tacrolimus‐related nephrotoxicity is an important cause. In kidney and liver transplant recipients, fast tacrolimus metabolism (defined as a low concentration‐to‐dose [C0/D] ratio), negatively affects kidney function.
