12.1 Mechanism of Action Irbesartan Angiotensin II is a potent vasoconstrictor formed from angiotensin I in a reaction catalyzed by angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE, kininase II). Angiotensin II is the principal pressor agent of the RAS and also stimulates aldosterone synthesis and secretion by adrenal cortex, cardiac contraction, renal resorption of sodium, activity of the sympathetic nervous system, and smooth muscle cell growth. Irbesartan blocks the vasoconstrictor and aldosterone-secreting effects of angiotensin II by selectively binding to the AT 1 angiotensin II receptor. There is also an AT 2 receptor in many tissues, but it is not involved in cardiovascular homeostasis. Irbesartan is a specific competitive antagonist of AT 1 receptors with a much greater affinity (more than 8500-fold) for the AT 1 receptor than for the AT 2 receptor, and no agonist activity. Blockade of the AT 1 receptor removes the negative feedback of angiotensin II on renin secretion, but the resulting in

How did you do it? My current strategy is this, though I can’t seem to get more than 5: - The independent variable - A valid control variable - Avalid method to measure the dependent variable - A relevant safety precaution - A valid method for ensuring reliability - A control experiment
