Renin Inhibitor

Renin inhibitors are pharmaceutical drugs, they can inhibit the activity of renin. Renin inhibitors can hydrolyze angiotensinogen to angiotensin I, then reduce the formation of angiotensin II.

Renin inhibitor normally precedes directly, it is also called direct renin inhibitor. In order to distinguish its mechanism from other renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, like: angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs), angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), aldosterone receptor antagonists.
