Losartan as an ACE inhibitor: a description of the mechanism of action through quantum biochemistry
Losartan (LST) is a potent and selective angiotensin II (Ang II) type 1 (AT1) receptor antagonist widely used in the treatment of hypertension. The formation of Ang II is catalyzed by the angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) through proteolytic cleavage of angiotensin I (Ang I), which is involved i...
