The present work proposes a novel technique of using an artificial receptor to reduce circulation of the excess Ang II in rats' bodies and subsequently lowering blood pressure of the rats by oral perfusion. A molecularly imprinted polymer nanogels (MIPNGs) receptor was prepared with the C-terminal pentapeptide of Ang II as the template in aqueous media, which served as a selective recognition element for Ang II.
