Abstract
CGS 35601 is a potent triple inhibitor of endothelin-converting enzyme-1, neutral endopeptidase 24.11, and angiotensin-converting enzyme. It inhibited the activities of these three enzymes with IC50 values of 55, 2 and 22 nM, respectively. In conscious rats, CGS 35601 suppressed the big endothelin-1-induced pressor response by 82% and 72% at 30 and 120 minutes, respectively, following injection at a dose of 10 mg/kg, intravenously. At the same dose, CGS 35601 increased plasma atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) immunoreactivity by 170% for up to 4 hours in conscious rats infused with ANP, and it inhibited the angiotensin I-induced pressor response by 74-94% within the first 2 hours after dosing. Similar in vivo activities were also observed with its orally active prodrug, CGS 37808. This compound blocked the big endothelin-1- induced pressor response by 71% and 67% at 30 and 120 minutes, respectively, after an oral dose of 10 mgEq/kg in conscious rats. It also increased plasma ANP immunoreactivity by 103% for up to 4 hours and inhibited the angiotensin I-induced pressor response by an average of 49% within the first 4 hours after the same dosing regimen. By suppressing the biosyntheses of endothelin-1 and angiotensin II, two potent vasoconstrictors, while simultaneously potentiating the circulating levels of ANP, a vasorelaxant and diuretic, CGS 35601 and CGS 37808 may represent novel agents for the treatment of cardiovascular and renal diseases.
