Diminazene Aceturate is a diamidine with anti-protozoal and anti-trypanosomal properties. Diminazene Aceturate is an activator of ACE2. Similar to other diamidines, Diminazene Aceturate affects a variety of enzymes and can modulate the interactions between nucleic acids and proteins. In rat tests, Diminazene Aceturate has shown the ability to enhance enzymatic activity of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from FoureauxFoureaux, G. et al. (PubMed 26204514) evaluated the effects of chitosan inserts for sustained release of the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) activator, Diminazene Aceturate (DIZE), in experimental glaucoma. No toxic effects in the eyes related to application of the inserts were observed. Moreover, biodistribution studies showed prolonged retention of DIZE in the corneal site. -SCBT Publication Review
