Direct Angiotensin AT2 Receptor Stimulation Using a Novel AT2 Receptor Agonist, Compound 21, Evokes Neuroprotection in Conscious Hypertensive Rats

BACKGROUND: In this study, the neuroprotective effect of a novel nonpeptide AT2R agonist, C21, was examined in a conscious model of stroke to verify a class effect of AT2R agonists as neuroprotective agents. METHODS AND RESULTS: Spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) were pre-treated for 5 days prior...
