Περίληψη:
Biological membranes play an essential role in the drug action. They constitute the first barrier for drugs to exert their biological action. AT1 antagonists are amphiphilic molecules and are hypothesized to act on AT1 receptor through incorporation (first step) and lateral diffusion through membrane bilayers (second step). Various biophysical methods along with Molecular Modelling were applied in order to explore the plausible two step proposed mechanism of action for this class of antihypertensive drugs.
