Abstract

The formation of vasoconstrictors (eg, angiotensin II and endothelin) and the inactivation of vasodilators (eg, bradykinin and atrial natriuretic) by membrane-bound zinc metallopeptidases are key mechanisms in the control of blood pressure and fluid homeostasis. The way in which these peptides modulate physiological functions has been intensively studied. With the aim to develop compounds that can jointly block the three ...
