Description
Aclerastide is an angiotensin receptor agonist. It can reduce fibrosis and scarring in the healing wounds. This action is more pronounced with longer administration of the peptide after injury. The action of this peptide is blocked by the AT receptor antagonist d-Ala7-angiotensin(1-7), which suggests that this receptor is involved in the healing responses to exogenous NorLeu3-A(1-7). Aclerastide has the potential in accelerating wound repair and reducing scar formation.
