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

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.

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.

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.
