The present invention is directed to the use of angiotensin II receptor I (AT1 receptor) antagonists for the treatment, prophylaxis, reversal and/or symptomatic relief of a neuropathic condition, especially a peripheral neuropathic condition such as painful diabetic neuropathy, in vertebrate animals and particularly in human subjects. The present invention also discloses the use of AT1 receptor antagonists for preventing, attenuating or reversing the development of reduced opioid sensitivity, and more particularly reduced opioid analgesic sensitivity, in individuals and especially in individuals having, or at risk of developing, a neuropathic condition.

In one aspect, the present invention relates to use of an ACE inhibitor and/or angiotensin II receptor antagonist for the preparation of a medicament for the treatment of a dermatological disorder, particularly by topical application of said ACE inhibitor and/or angiotensin II receptor antagonist. The present invention also provides cosmetic methods for improving and/or maintaining the skin tone of an individual suffering from, or at risk of suffering from, a dermatological disorder, said method comprising contacting the skin of said individual with an ACE inhibitor and/or angiotensin II receptor antagonist.

The invention discloses a pharmaceutical composition for treating hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases, wherein the active constituents include pharmaceutical salts of levamlodipine besylate and angiotensin II receptor antagonists. The invention can not only overcome the drawback of photodecomposition of the levoamlodipine maleate medicaments, but also can increase the dissolving degree by 21%.

The present invention provides improved methods, kits, and compositions for enhancing bone, cartilage and cartilage repair, bone and prosthesis implantation, and attachment and fixation of cartilage and cartilage to bone or other tissues, and chondrocyte proliferation composing the administration of an effective amount of angiotensinogen, angiotensin I (AI), AI analogues, AI fragments and analogues thereof, angiotensin II (AII), AII analogues, AII fragments or analogues thereof or AII AT₂ type 2 receptor agonists.

The present invention provides methods, compounds, and pharmaceutical compositions for inhibiting tumor cell proliferation, by administering an effective amount of angiotensinogen, angiotensin I (AI), AI analogues, AI fragments and analogues thereof, angiotensin II (AII), AII analogues, AII fragments or analogues thereof or AII AT₂ type 2 receptor agonists to a subject.

The present disclosure relates to the use of angiotensin II in therapeutic methods for the treatment of renal failure, especially renal failure associated with cirrhosis.

Methods are provided for treating or preventing conditions comprising hypertension and dyslipidemia using antihyperlipemic agents and compounds that antagonize the angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor, function as partial or full activators of peroxisome proliferator activated receptors (PPARs) and lower triglycerides or elevate blood HDL-cholesterol. Compositions are provided for treating or preventing conditions comprising hypertension and dyslipidemia, comprising antihyperlipemic agents which lower triglycerides and inhibit cholesterol synthesis such as statins, and compounds that antagonize or block the angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor, activate PPARs and lower triglycerides or elevate blood HDL-cholesterol such as sartans.

A method for selecting a breast cancer patient for therapy with an agent that reduces production of angiotensin II, for example an ACE inhibitor or renin inhibitor, comprises (a) determining whether the cancer comprises a tumor that is estrogen receptor positive (ER+) and (b) selecting the patient for such therapy only if the cancer is determined to comprise an ER+ tumor. A method for treating breast cancer in a patient further comprises (c) administering to the patient, if so selected, an agent that reduces production of angiotensin II, for example an ACE inhibitor or renin inhibitor. A method for treating a breast tumor in a patient having SERM-resistant ER+ breast cancer comprises administering to the patient an agent that reduces production of angiotensin II, for example an ACE inhibitor or renin inhibitor. A therapeutic combination useful in treatment of a breast tumor comprises an agent that reduces production of angiotensin II, for example an ACE inhibitor or renin inhibitor, and a second agent that comprises (a) an aromatase inhibitor or (b) an estrogen receptor modulator or antagonist.

A method is provided for lowering blood pressure in a patient having clinically diagnosed resistant hypertension. The method comprises administering darusentan to the patient adjunctively with a baseline antihypertensive regimen that comprises administration of at least one diuretic and at least two antihypertensive drugs selected from at least two of (a) ACE inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor blockers, (b) beta-adrenergic receptor blockers and (c) calcium channel blockers. The darusentan is orally administered at a dose and frequency effective, in combination with the baseline regimen, to provide a reduction of at least about 3 mmHg in one or more blood pressure parameters selected from trough sitting systolic, trough sitting diastolic, 24-hour ambulatory systolic, 24-hour ambulatory diastolic, maximum diurnal systolic and maximum diurnal diastolic blood pressures.
