 Context examples: 

Enalaprilat competitively binds to and inhibits ACE, thereby blocking the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II.

(Enalapril, NCI Thesaurus)

Idrapril competitively binds to and inhibits ACE, thereby blocking the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II.

(Idrapril, NCI Thesaurus)

By competing with angiotensin I for ACE, deserpidine blocks the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, which is a potent vasoconstrictor.

(Deserpidine, NCI Thesaurus)

This protein plays a role in the hydrolysis of angiotensin I to form angiotensin II and the solubilization of glycophophoinositol-anchored proteins from the plasma membrane.

(Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme, NCI Thesaurus)

The determination of the amount of angiotensin I hormone present in a sample.

(Angiotensin I Measurement, NCI Thesaurus)

Aliskiren selectively binds to the S3 sub-pocket of renin, an enzyme in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) that is responsible for converting angiotensinogen to angiotensin I (AT I).

(Aliskiren, NCI Thesaurus)

As a prodrug, alacepril is rapidly metabolized to captopril; captopril competitively binds to and inhibits ACE, thereby blocking the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II.

(Alacepril, NCI Thesaurus)

Angiotensinogen is digested by renin to produce angiotensin I (AGT I).

(Angiotensin-converting Enzyme 2 Pathway, NCI Thesaurus/BIOCARTA)

A measurement of the angiotensin I hormone in a biological specimen.

(Angiotensin I Measurement, NCI Thesaurus/CDISC)

As a prodrug cilazapril is rapidly metabolized in the liver to cilazaprilat; cilazaprilat competitively binds to and inhibits ACE, thereby blocking the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II.
