Abstract:
Angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is a homologue of the human ACE. ACE2 counter-regulates the effects of the classical ACE-Ang Ⅱ-angiotensin Ⅱ type 1 receptor (AT1R) axis via the function of the novel axis ACE2- angiotensin-(1-7)-Mas receptor [ACE2-Ang-(1-7)-Mas] of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS). A chronic and sustained imbalance between both axes may lead to pathophysiology of the cardiovascular, renal, pulmonary and central nervous system. ACE2 agonist analogues are abundantly found in many natural plant resources.
Key words: angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), analogues, xanthone
