Plasma Kinins- A Pharmacological Perspective

Background: Plasma kinins are known for decades but the understanding of them is not up-to the mark and the complexity is the reason. There are many drugs and trials undertaken with these as drug targets but only very few have been successfully marketed and used. Rest all others have resulted in failure during various phases of the trial. 
Purpose: The purpose of this review is to explain and explore the complexity of plasma kinins and explore the relations between Kinins, and analyze the failures in drug development with these receptors as targets. 
Implication: This extensive review might help in understanding the complexity and ensure the reduction of drug development failures in these molecules as drug targets 
Conclusion: Kinins have an important role in the homeostatic functions of the body physiologically. The pathophysiological roles in inflammation are also known. The complexity of these systems is well established.
