What is Angiotensin-(1-7)?
Angiotensin-(1-7) is a seven-amino-acid peptide from the renin-angiotensin system with reported retinal and corneal biology. Ocular studies have explored it for anti-fibrotic, anti-inflammatory, and vascular effects.
Key Benefits & Mechanisms
anti-fibrotic
retinal vascular modulation
corneal healing
Research Summary
Preclinical work links the ACE2/Ang-(1-7)/Mas axis to reduced retinal inflammation and vascular dysfunction. The peptide is being explored as an eye-targeted modulatory agent rather than an approved therapy.
