losartan and Anxiety Neuroses

losartan has been researched along with Anxiety Neuroses in 3 studies

Losartan: An antagonist of ANGIOTENSIN TYPE 1 RECEPTOR with antihypertensive activity due to the reduced pressor effect of ANGIOTENSIN II.
losartan : A biphenylyltetrazole where a 1,1'-biphenyl group is attached at the 5-position and has an additional trisubstituted imidazol-1-ylmethyl group at the 4'-position

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The antihypertensive drug losartan has been shown to improve memory in humans as well as learning and fear extinction in rodent models, highlighting its potential to have similar synergistic effects on exposure-based cognitive behavioral therapy for anxiety disorders."5.27Angiotensin Regulation of Amygdala Response to Threat in High-Trait-Anxiety Individuals. ( Browning, M; Craske, MG; Harmer, CJ; Kappelmann, N; Klein Breteler, J; Reinecke, A; Ressler, KJ, 2018)
"In studies of dementias and Alzheimer's disease (AD), some studies have shown that antihypertensive drugs, including angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, have some moderate effects on cognitive decline, but that the angiotensin receptor antagonist losartan has a significantly beneficial effect."2.42Angiotensin as a target for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, anxiety and depression. ( Gard, PR, 2004)
