摘要
Both angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACE-I) and angiotensin II receptor blocker have been recognized as renin–angiotensin system (RAS) inhibitors. These two RAS inhibitors are rarely recognized as drugs with distinct pharmacological effects in the clinic or most clinical trials. Some preclinical basic research and clinical trials indicate that ACE-I might display superior organ-protective effects, especially anti-fibrotic effects. Such anti-fibrotic effects of ACE-I could be associated with an endogenous anti-fibrotic peptide, N-acetyl-seryl-aspartyl-lysyl-proline (AcSDKP). In this review, we focused on the anti-fibrotic effects of RAS inhibition and the endogenous anti-fibrotic peptide AcSDKP.
