Product Information

• Name: L-Valine benzyl ester hydrochloride
• Synonyms: L-Val-OBzl·HCl
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: L-Valine benzyl ester hydrochloride (LVEH) is a tetradecapeptide that is used as an analog of the natural peptide angiotensinogen. This synthetic compound has low molecular weight and hydrophobicity, which makes it an efficient drug for inducing hypertension in rats. LVEH has been shown to inhibit the production of angiotensin I and II, leading to a decrease in blood pressure. It also inhibits the degradation of endoplasmic reticulum protein angiotensinogen, which may be due to its inhibition of piperazine and piperidine. LVEH binds to mitochondria with high affinity, inhibiting ATP production and mitochondrial respiration.
