摘要: The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) activity is a key factor in the pathophysiology and development of hypertension, atherosclerosis, heart failure, renal disease. It unclear whether angiotensin-converting-enzyme (ACE) inhibitors angiotensin-receptor blockers (ARBs) have fully delivered expected reductions cardiovascular risk. In fact, optimized RAS suppression difficult to achieve with these agents, partly because ACE ARBs both activate compensatory feedback mechanisms that result renin release increase plasma (PRA). Molecular modeling was used develop aliskiren, potent, low-molecular-weight, nonpeptide, direct inhibitor sufficient bioavailability produce sustained PRA after oral administration. This report discusses action their pharmacokinetic properties. addition, also evaluates available data regarding effects aliski...
