Saralasin is an angiotensin II analogue which was developed for the treatment of hypertension in 1970s. For many years saralasin was supposed to be angiotensin receptors blocker, but recent studies have revealed that its pharmacological action can be explained by agonistic behavior toward angiotensin II receptor. The drug was approved by FDA under the name Sarenin, however, it is no longer available on the market.
