Alamandine
low riskAlso: Ala1-Ang(1-7) · Alamandine heptapeptide
Alamandine is a recently discovered heptapeptide member of the renin-angiotensin system, related to Angiotensin (1-7) but acting on MrgD receptors instead of Mas receptors. Shows cardiovascular and anti-fibrotic effects in animal models. Human data is very limited.
Reported Benefits
Cardiovascular/anti-fibrotic
Animal models show cardiac fibrosis reduction and blood pressure lowering via MrgD activation.
Mechanism of Action
Activates MrgD (Mas-related G protein-coupled receptor D); counter-regulatory to Angiotensin II; vasodilatory and anti-fibrotic effects in cardiac and renal tissue.
Novel RAS Member
Alamandine was only characterized in 2013. It represents a new branch of the renin-angiotensin system with therapeutic potential distinct from both Angiotensin (1-7) and classical ACE inhibitors. Human research is in early stages.
