L-163,491

L-163,491 is a drug which acts as a partial agonist of angiotensin II receptor type 1, and with lower affinity as an agonist of angiotensin II receptor type 2, mimicking the action of angiotensin II.[1] Its practical applications to date have been limited to scientific research into the function of the angiotensin receptor system,[2] but it has been suggested as a potential therapeutic agent for the treatment of inflammation of the lungs associated with certain viral diseases such as COVID-19.[3][4]
