Activity

  • Function:  Agonist of the B2 bradykinin receptor (BDKRB2) (PubMed:18445483, PubMed:20417225). Potentiates the hypotensive effect of bradykinin (BK) and induces a direct vasorelaxing effect independent of BK, by endothelium- and nitric oxide (NO)-dependent mechanisms in rat aortic ring preparations (PubMed:18445483, PubMed:20417225). Also exerts proangiogenic, antiinflammatory, and antifibrogenic activities (PubMed:27732900).
  • Mechanism:  Negative results: does not inhibit the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE).
