Bradykinin is a potent vasodilator peptide that exerts its action through stimulation of specific endothelial receptors. It has been linked with the pathophysiological process that accompanies tissue damage and inflammation. Use of this peptide has been reported for treating human diseases such as hypertension and acute chronic pain disorders.
