Abstract
Over the last years, ligands for angiotensin II subtype 1 receptor (AT1R) have been developed as an alternative to the use of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors for controlling high blood pressure. Radiolabeled versions of these ligands have proven vital to the development of more potent and specific drugs for the treatment of hypertension. Imaging studies using radiolabeled AT1R ligands have also elucidated the role these receptors play in angiogenesis as well as in various disease states beyond hypertension.

From Biodiversity to Chemical Diversity: Focus of Flavonoids
Flavonoids are the largest group of polyphenols, plant secondary metabolites arising from the essential aromatic amino acid phenylalanine (or more rarely from tyrosine) via the phenylpropanoid pathway. The flavan nucleus is the basic 15-carbon skeleton of flavonoids (C6-C3-C6), which consists of two phenyl rings (A and B) and a heterocyclic ...read more
