<prompt> Telmisaan lowers blood pressure byInhibiting formation of angiotensin 1 to angiotensinInhibiting conversion ofrenin to angiotensin 1Blocking AT1 receptorsInterfering with degradation of bradykinin  <response>: Refer kDT 7e p 561 Telmisaan blocks the vasoconstrictor and aldosterone-secreting effects of angiotensin II by selectively blocking the binding of angiotensin II to the AT1 receptor in many tissues, such as vascular smooth muscle and the adrenal gland. Its action is therefore independent of the pathways for angiotensin II synthesis.
