The Salutary Effects of Diminazene, Lisinopril or Valsartan on Cisplatin - Induced Acute Kidney Injury in Rats: A Comparative Study.

Nephrotoxicity as a cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) induced by cisplatin (CP), limits its usefulness as an anticancer agent. Diminazene, an angiotensin converting enzyme 2 activator, exhibited renoprotective properties on rat models of kidney diseases. This research aims to investigate the salutary effect of diminazene in comparison with lisinopril or valsartan in CP-induced AKI.
