Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death and morbidity globally. The renin-angiotensin system is an important regulatory system for maintaining cardiovascular and renal function. Therefore, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers have emerged as first-line treatments for conditions such as hypertension and heart failure. Currently available synthetic medications used to treat various CVDs have been linked with various adverse effects. Therefore, this study focuses on targeting type-1 angiotensin II receptor (AGTR1) by natural compounds. The ZINC database natural compounds and standard AGTR1 inhibitors have been screened against the AGTR1 active site. The results showed that five compounds, namely ZINC85625504, ZINC62001623, ZINC70666587, ZINC06624086, and ZINC95486187, had similar binding energies to established AGTR1 inhibitors. These compounds were found to interact with crucial AGTR1 residues, indicating their potential as AGTR1 inhibitors. Moreover, the hit compounds demonstrated favorable drug-like characteristics and warrant further investigation for their potential use in managing CVD.
