Angiotensin II Type 1 Receptor Blockade: a Novel Therapeutic Concept

Blood Pressure, 2000
Angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor blockers, such as candesartan, are attractive alternatives to ACE inhibitors in the treatment of hypertension and cardiovascular disease. Although angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors are able to suppress the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), their mechanism of action may limit their clinical utility in the ...

Blood pressure effects of SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP‐1 receptor agonists: Mechanisms, trial evidence and Real‐world data

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP‐1 receptor agonists modestly lower blood pressure across diverse patient populations, including those without diabetes. These effects appear largely independent of glycaemic control and offer additive value in high‐risk patients with overlapping comorbidities.

Versatility of the Angiotensin II Type 1 Receptor [PDF]

Circulation Research, 1998
This issue of Circulation Research includes 3 interesting studies that represent new concepts of AT1 receptor–mediated cell signaling in the cardiovascular system, which is currently of intense interest. The AT1 receptor mediates many important cardiovascular responses, including vasoconstriction, vascular and cardiac remodeling (cell proliferation ...

Intravenous lanadelumab for the treatment of moderately ill COVID‐19 patients

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Kallikrein‐kinin system (KKS) dysregulation is hypothesized to play a pathogenetic role in COVID‐19‐associated pulmonary oedema. To investigate the efficacy and safety of intravenous lanadelumab, a monoclonal antibody that inhibits plasma kallikrein, in COVID‐19, we conducted a phase 2, open‐label, randomized‐controlled, proof‐of‐concept ...

Possible therapeutic repositioning of valproic acid: From epileptic seizures to acute kidney injury

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Valproic acid, an anticonvulsant, may be repositioned to prevent acute kidney injury due to ischemia followed by reperfusion. It preserves renal functions, electrolyte homeostasis and active sodium transport in kidney tubules, and blocks the onset of hypertension.

Janus kinase 2 inhibition by pacritinib as potential therapeutic target for liver fibrosis

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Diagram of the activation of the profibrotic and procontractile Janus kinase 2 (JAK2)/Ras homolog family member A/Rho‐kinase pathway and the inhibition of phosphorylated JAK2 by pacritinib to inhibit hepatic stellate cell activity. Abstract Background and Aims Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) signaling is increased in human and experimental liver fibrosis with ...

The Prevalence and Implications of Polypharmacy in Individuals With Type 1 Diabetes

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Polypharmacy is increasingly recognized as a relevant issue in diabetes care, but its prevalence and clinical relevance in individuals with type 1 diabetes remain underexplored. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of polypharmacy and to identify associated clinical and psychological factors. Participants were recruited from a tertiary diabetes
