Imidazole-Based AT₁ Receptor Ligands: Design, Synthesis and Pharmacological Evaluation

Molecules
The angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor is a key component of the renin–angiotensin system (RAS) and a validated target for cardiovascular and renal disorders. Developing small molecules with defined AT1 versus AT2 binding profiles remains important for

Angiotensin II and Cardiovascular Disease: Balancing Pathogenic and Protective Pathways [PDF]

The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) is a hormone system that controls blood pressure and fluid and electrolyte balance. Angiotensin II, a key effector, is produced from angiotensin I by angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and exerts its ...

Hypertension in obesity: A focus on individualized pharmacotherapy and the role of body composition, on behalf of the European Society of Hypertension Working Group on Diabetes and Metabolic Risk Factors and Working Group on Lifestyle, Cardiovascular Pharmacotherapy and Adherence

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Hypertension in obesity represents a major global health challenge, closely linked to the global epidemics of obesity, type 2 diabetes and metabolic dysfunction. Excess adiposity contributes to elevated blood pressure through multiple, interrelated mechanisms, including activation of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system, sympathetic nervous system ...

The role of the classical renin–angiotensin system and angiotensin-converting enzyme 2/Ang(1–7)/Mas axis in pulmonary fibrosis

Frontiers in Medicine
Pulmonary fibrosis (PF), a progressive and fatal disease, is characterized by fibroblast proliferation, excessive extracellular matrix deposition, and collagen synthesis. These pathological changes lead to impaired lung structure and function, ultimately

Roles of Brain Angiotensin II in Cognitive Function and Dementia

International Journal of Hypertension, 2012
The brain renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has been highlighted as having a pathological role in stroke, dementia, and neurodegenerative disease. Particularly, in dementia, epidemiological studies indicate a preventive effect of RAS blockade on cognitive ...

Differential β-arrestin2 requirements for constitutive and agonist-induced internalization of the CB1 cannabinoid receptor [PDF]

, 2013
CB1 cannabinoid receptor (CB1R) undergoes both constitutive and agonist-induced internalization, but the underlying mechanisms of these processes and the role of beta-arrestins in the regulation of CB1R function are not completely understood.

Evaluation of Treatment Response of Calcified Nodules and Nodular Calcified Lesions Using Mean Density on Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Calcified nodules (CN) and nodular calcifications (NC) present significant challenges during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) because of their protruding morphology and high rigidity, which often result in inadequate stent expansion and suboptimal procedural outcomes.
