  • Patent number: 7553928
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a method for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of renal-related disorders. More particularly, the present invention contemplates a method for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of glomerulosclerosis and/or end stage renal failure and/or related conditions. The method of the present invention is preferably practised by the administration of a derivative of angiotensin I. Generally, but not exclusively, the angiotensin I derivative exhibits anti-angiotensin II properties. In a preferred embodiment, the angiotensin I is des-Aspartate-angiotensin I or a derivative, homologue or analogue thereof. The present invention further contemplates compositions for use in the treatment and/or prophylaxis of renal-related disorders such as but not limited to glomerulosclerosis and/or end stage renal failure.

  • Patent number: 5773415
    Abstract: The use of des-Aspartate-angiotensin I (Arg-Val-Tyr-Ile-His-Pro-Phe-His-Leu) as an anti-cardiac hypertrophic agent is described. The compound, given either intravenously or orally, prevented the development of experimentally-induced cardiac hypertrophy in rats. Its action was dose-dependent and the maximum anti-cardiac hypertrophic effect was obtained at a dose of(i) 180 ng/day when given intravenously, and (ii) 285 .mu.g/day when given orally.
