Neuroprotective Effects of Angiotensin Receptor Blockers [PDF]
Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs, collectively called sartans) are widely used compounds therapeutically effective in cardiovascular disorders, renal disease, the metabolic syndrome, and diabetes. It has been more recently recognized that ARBs are neuroprotective and have potential therapeutic use in many brain disorders.

Next generation multifunctional angiotensin receptor blockers [PDF]
Angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) are well-tolerated drugs that are known to be useful for inhibiting activity of the renin-angiotensin (RAS) system, treating hypertension and reducing the risk for cardiovascular disease. However, inhibition of the RAS does not control all pathophysiological mechanisms of hypertension or cardiovascular risk and many
