Direct renin inhibition – a promising strategy for renal protection?
Activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) plays a key role in the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). RAAS inhibitors, such as angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEis) and angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs), decrease the rate of progression of diabetic and non-diabetic nephropathies and are first-line therapies for CKD. Although these agents are highly ...
متن کاملPredictive Modeling of Phenylpiperazine Derivatives for Renin Inhibition.
The renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system is the well established endocrine system having significant role in preserving hemodynamic stability. Renin is secreted from the juxtaglomerular cells of the kidney. Phenylpiperazine derivatives have been reported as human renin inhibitor. To perform predictive QSAR modeling for 27 phenylpiperazine derivatives as renin enzyme inhibitors. The IC50 values ...
متن کاملDirect renin inhibition: focus on aliskiren.
BACKGROUND Despite the availability of many effective, well-tolerated drugs, a significant proportion of treated hypertensive patients still have uncontrolled high blood pressure (BP) and thus face serious morbidity and mortality. The renin-angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS) is a key target for BP control and for cardiovascular and renal protection. Renin controls the rate-limiting step in t...
متن کاملRenal and hormonal responses to direct renin inhibition with aliskiren in healthy humans.
BACKGROUND Pharmacological interruption of the renin-angiotensin system focuses on optimization of blockade. As a measure of intrarenal renin activity, we have examined renal plasma flow (RPF) responses in a standardized protocol. Compared with responses with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition (rise in RPF approximately 95 mL x min(-1) x 1.73 m(-2)), greater renal vasodilation with angiot...
متن کاملNu Nurse residency program: a promising, yet neglected strategy for the education of senior nursing students
Quality and safety of patient care remarkably depend on the competency of healthcare providers. As predominant caregivers, nurses crucially influence the quality of patient care (1). On the other hand, as major educational organizations, nursing schools must offer competent expertise to the students in order to warrant high-quality patient care. In this regard, finding efficient methods to grad...
