Angiotensin II-derived constrained peptides with antiplasmodial activity and suppressed vasoconstriction

Angiotensin II (Ang II) is a natural mammalian hormone that has been described to exhibit antiplasmodial activity therefore constituting a promising alternative for the treatment of malaria. Despite its promise, the development of Ang II as an antimalarial is limited by its potent induction of vasoc...
