May guide RAS modulator development in hypertension; leaves open clinical translation without prospective trials.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Experimental models of cardiovascular disease (hypertension, myocardial infarction, type 1 diabetes, atherosclerosis) and various tissues (blood vessels, cardiac, renal, immune, cancer cells)
I
Intervention
Diminazene aceturate (DIZE), an ACE2 activator

This review highlights the potential of the ACE2 activator diminazene aceturate (DIZE) as a therapeutic agent in cardiovascular and other diseases by counterbalancing the classical renin-angiotensin system.
