Description
A 62198 is a potent and selective renin inhibitor. A-62198 induced a dose-dependent fall in mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) when administered as an i.v. bolus to anesthetized, salt-depleted monkeys. It has potential as a hypotensive agent.
Uses
A-62198 is a potent and selective renin inhibitor with antihypertensive activity. A-62198 reduces mean arterial pressure (MAP) in anesthetized, salt-deprived monkeys in a dose-dependent manner. A-62198 induced MAP reduction in normal monkeys that reached statistical significance at the highest dose and significantly inhibited plasma renin activity (PRA) at all doses[1].
