Z-Val-Trp-OH is a homologue of Val-Tyr-Lys (VTK). It potentiates the contractile response of skeletal muscle. This drug has been shown to be effective in increasing the strength and endurance of muscle. Z-Val-Trp-OH has been shown to have a potentiation effect on bradykinin, which may be due to the inhibition of an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) and the inhibition of an arginine vasopressin receptor. The amino acid composition and sequence are also similar to VTK, which may account for its pharmacological effects.
