1. The successive effects of the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor captopril (CAP, 2 mg kg(-1)+1 mg kg(-1) 30 min(-1) infusion) and the neutral endopeptidase 24-11 inhibitor retrothiorphan (RT, 25 mg kg(-1)+12.5 mg kg(-1) 30 min(-1) infusion) were studied on femoral vascular conductance (FVC) in streptozotocin-induced diabetic (STZ-SD) and control Sprague-Dawley (C-SD) rats. The role of the kinin-nitric oxide (NO) pathway was assessed by (1) using pre-treatments: a bradykinin (BK) B2 receptor antagonist (Hoe-140, 300 microg kg(-1)), a NO-synthase inhibitor (N(omega)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester, L-NAME, 10 mg kg(-1)), a kininase I inhibitor (DL-2-mercaptomethyl-3-guanidinoethylthiopropanoic acid, MGTA, 10 mg kg(-1)+20 mg kg(-1) 20 min(-1) infusion) and (2) comparing the effects in STZ-induced diabetic (STZ-BN) and control Brown-Norway kininogen-deficient (C-BN) rats. 2. In C-SDs, CAP and CAP+RT increased FVC similarly. In STZ-SDs, FVC and FBF were decreased compared to C-SDs. CAP+RT increased them more effectively than CAP alone. 3. In both C-SDs and STZ-SDs, the femoral bed vasodilatation elicited by CAP was inhibited by Hoe-140 and L-NAME. The FVC increase elicited by CAP+RT was not significantly reduced by Hoe-140 but was inhibited by L-NAME and Hoe-140+MGTA. 4. In C-BNs, the vasodilatator responses to CAP and CAP+RT were abolished and highly reduced, respectively. In STZ-BNs, these responses were abolished. 5. These results show that in STZ-SDs, CAP+RT improve FBF and FVC more effectively than CAP alone. These effects are linked to an increased activation of the kinin-NO pathway. BK could lead to NO production by BK B2 receptor activation and another pathway in which kininase I may be involved. 相似文献

The specific neutral endopeptidase (NEP) inhibitor, SQ 29,072 (7-[2-(mercaptomethyl)-1-oxo-3-phenylpropyl]amino]heptanoic acid), was studied in conscious spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) and in DOCA/salt hypertensive rats during inhibition of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) activity with captopril or SQ 27,519 (the free acid of fosinopril). In the SHR, the maximal depressor responses to the combination of SQ 29,072 and SQ 27,519 (-44 +/- 4 mm Hg) were greater than the responses to any of the inhibitors given alone (-26 +/- 5, -40 +/- 10, and -28 +/- 6 mm Hg for SQ 29,072, captopril, and SQ 27,519, respectively). In contrast, the maximal antihypertensive activities of SQ 29,072 were the same in conscious DOCA/salt hypertensive rats infused with saline, captopril, or SQ 27,519 (-54 +/- 10, -51 +/- 8, and -58 +/- 11 mm Hg, respectively), indicating a lack of synergism in this model. In agreement, SQ 28,133 [N-[2-(mercaptomethyl)-1-oxo-3-phenylpropyl]-L-leucine], a compound that inhibits both NEP and ACE, elicited significant depressor activities in both SHR and DOCA/salt hypertensive rats. In conclusion, a selective NEP inhibitor enhanced the depressor activity of ACE inhibitors in the conscious SHR, indicating that these agents may be effectively combined for treatment of some types of hypertension. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to examine the effects of chronic (8-day) oral treatment with the dual angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and neutral endopeptidase 24-11 (NEP) inhibitor mixanpril (25 mg/kg twice a day), compared with the ACE inhibitor captopril (25 mg/kg twice a day), on whole body insulin-mediated glucose disposal in young (10-week) and old (19-week) obese Zucker rats (ZOs). Moreover, the effects of chronic mixanpril administration on femoral blood flow at rest and during an insulin infusion were assessed. In the young ZOs, mixanpril decreased the glucose response during an IV glucose tolerance test more effectively than did captopril (-49 and -30%, respectively, p < 0.05). Incremental glucose area under the curve in mixanpril-treated ZOs was then no longer different from that observed in vehicle-treated lean rats (1,592 +/- 175 and 1, 470 +/- 104 mg/dl x min, respectively). The beneficial effects resulting from mixanpril or captopril administration were observed in ZOs but not in lean littermates. In the old ZOs, mixanpril induced higher glucose infusion rates to maintain euglycemia than did captopril during a hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp test (+92 and +35%, respectively, p < 0.001). However, the glucose infusion rates in mixanpril-treated ZOs remained much lower than that observed in vehicle-treated lean rats (9.4 +/- 0.7 mg/kg/min vs 28.6 +/- 1.0 mg/kg/min, p < 0.001). Mixanpril did not affect resting femoral vascular bed hemodynamics but restored the femoral blood flow response to insulin infusion. In conclusion, in ZOs, chronic dual ACE/NEP inhibition improves whole body insulin-mediated glucose disposal more effectively than does ACE inhibition alone. This beneficial effect seems to be restricted to conditions of insulin resistance and not directly linked to the improvement in the femoral blood flow response to insulin. 相似文献

We evaluated whether a novel dual inhibitor of neutral endopeptidase (NEP) and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), SA7060, (S)-2-[3-[(S)-2-(butoxycarbonyl)-2-hydroxyethyl]-3-isobutylureido] -3-(2-naphtyl) propionic acid, prevents deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-salt-induced hypertension and related organ damage, such as cardiovascular hypertrophy, renal dysfunction and renal tissue injury in rats. The effectiveness was compared with candoxatril and enalapril, which are a selective NEP and ACE inhibitor, respectively. During DOCA-salt treatment for 4 weeks, the rats were given SA7060, candoxatril, enalapril or vehicle, once daily by gavage. The 4-weeks treatment with DOCA and salt produced progressive increases in systolic blood pressure. Daily administration of SA7060, candoxatril or enalapril significantly suppressed the development of hypertension induced by DOCA and salt, although the effect of enalapril was less potent at 4-weeks of the treatment period. In vehicle-treated DOCA-salt rats, decreases in creatinine clearance and increases in urinary excretion of protein and blood urea nitrogen were observed. This functional damage was improved most efficiently by the treatment with SA7060. There were significant increases in urinary excretions of atrial natriuretic peptide and cyclic GMP in SA7060- or candoxatril-treated animals. Histopathological examination of the kidney in DOCA-salt rats revealed tubular, glomerular and vascular lesions, all of which were improved in animals given SA7060 or candoxatril. When the vascular hypertrophy of the aorta was evaluated, there were significant increases in wall thickness, wall area and the wall-to-lumen ratio in vehicle-treated DOCA-salt rats compared with the sham rats. The development of vascular hypertrophy was suppressed by the treatment with SA7060, candoxatril or enalapril. Our findings indicate that SA7060 efficiently prevents DOCA-salt-induced hypertension and related tissue injury, mainly by inhibiting NEP. Thus, SA7060 may be useful for treatment of both renin-dependent and renin-independent hypertensive subjects, although further studies examining efficiency in a renin-dependent hypertensive model are needed. 相似文献

Kinins are metabolized by metallopeptidases present in different tissues. The aim of this study was to evaluate, employing functional studies in isolated human umbilical vein, the possible participation of angiotensin-converting enzyme, neutral endopeptidase and aminopeptidase P as an inactivation pathway of bradykinin, as well as assess if the endothelial layer is involved in this process. Concentration-response curves to bradykinin were constructed after 120 min incubation period on human umbilical vein rings with and without endothelium and enzymatic inhibitors were applied 30 min before construction of concentration-response curves. The presence of endothelium was confirmed by histological studies. Bradykinin-induced contractile responses were potentiated in human umbilical vein without endothelium when compared to intact tissues. Application of captopril 1 μM (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor) or phosphoramidon 10 μM (neutral endopeptidase inhibitor) induced a leftward shift of bradykinin-elicited responses in human umbilical vein with endothelium while no effect was observed in tissues denuded of endothelium under the same treatment. Exposure to apstatin 10 μM (aminopeptidase P inhibitor) did not potentiate bradykinin-induced effects in intact human umbilical vein. When angiotensin-converting enzyme and neutral endopeptidase were concomitantly inhibited, there was a higher potentiation of bradykinin-elicited responses compared to the effects observed under individual inhibition of either enzyme. Moreover, concentration-response curves to FR190997, a non-peptidic bradykinin B(2) receptor agonist, were not modified under dual enzymatic inhibition. In conclusion, our results demonstrate for the first time the functional relevance of angiotensin-converting enzyme and neutral endopeptidase, localized on the endothelial layer, acting concurrently as a bradykinin inactivating pathway in isolated human umbilical vein. 相似文献

The pharmacological profile of a vasopeptidase inhibitor is dependent on the ratio of neutral endopeptidase (NEP)vs angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition of the particular drug. We used in vitro autoradiography to determine the local renal and cardiac NEP and ACE inhibition after oral treatment with the dual NEP/ACE inhibitor omapatrilat in rat. Maximal inhibition of both renal NEP and ACE was achieved at the omapatrilat dose of 40 mg kg(-1)day(-1). Effective local ACE inhibition was detected also in the myocardium. The haemodynamic effects were similar to captopril, but omapatrilat treatment produced more favorable effect on natriuretic peptide levels. In conclusion, good tissue penetration of omapatrilat and balanced NEP/ACE inhibition may prove to be useful in the treatment of hypertension and heart failure. 相似文献

The in vitro effects of omapatrilat, a dual vasopeptidase inhibitor that simultaneously inhibits neutral endopeptidase (NEP) and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), on exogenous bradykinin metabolism after a single passage through the coronary bed were compared with that of a NEP inhibitor (retrothiorphan, 25 nM), an ACE inhibitor (enalaprilat, 130 nM), and omapatrilat (25 nM). Bradykinin and inhibitors were infused into isolated Langendorff rat hearts perfused at 1 ml/min followed by reperfusion at 10 ml/min. Residual bradykinin was quantified in the coronary effluent by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to calculate bradykinin recovery and its kinetic parameters (Vmax/Km). Bradykinin degradation rate at 1 ml/min was 4.56 +/- 0.39 1/min per gram without inhibitors and was significantly reduced to 2.57 +/- 0.19 1/min per gram in the presence of enalaprilat, to 2.97 +/- 0.38 1/min per gram with retrothiorphan, to 1.82 +/- 0.17 1/min per gram with both enalaprilat and retrothiorphan, and to 1.14 +/- 0.35 1/min per gram with omapatrilat. In a second set of experiments, the effect of a 14-day treatment of rats with either ACE inhibitors (enalapril, quinapril, and ramipril), a NEP inhibitor (candoxatril), or omapatrilat on exogenous bradykinin metabolism was studied in Langendorff perfused hearts isolated from these long-term treated rats. In untreated rats, bradykinin degradation at a coronary perfusion of 1 ml/min was 4.35 +/- 0.41 1/min per gram. This value was reduced by 30% for the NEP inhibitor, by 50% for all ACE inhibitors, and by 75% for omapatrilat. All inhibitors administered either short term or long term significantly reduced bradykinin degradation during a single passage through the coronary bed. However, omapatrilat administration resulted in the greatest protection from bradykinin breakdown than ACE or NEP inhibitors alone. 相似文献

Inhibition of the renin-angiotensin system with an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi) is an effective therapy in hypertension. Vasopeptidase inhibition was initially proposed with compounds inhibiting both angiotensin-converting enzyme and neutral endopeptidase (omapatrilat), but clinical trials revealed that reducing angiotensin II while blocking the degradation of vasodilatory peptides was not without concerns. We have previously investigated the combination of an ACEi with an endothelin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ECEi); now we add a neutral endopeptidase inhibitor (NEPi) toward triple vasopeptidase inhibition. Male spontaneously hypertensive rats were surgically implanted with a vascular catheter and treated with an ACEi (benazepril), a NEPi (CGS 24592) and an ECEi (CGS 35066) (continuous intra-arterial infusion at 1 or 5 mg/kg/day x 5 days each). After 15 days, drugs administration was stopped for 3 days. ACEi (1 mg/kg per day) reduced the mean arterial blood pressure by 8.4%. The addition of a NEPi and an ECEi at the same dose did not shown any added benefit. The mean arterial blood pressure came back to baseline upon cessation of treatment. ACEi (5 mg/kg per day) reduced the mean arterial blood pressure by 28%. The mean arterial blood pressure remained attenuated by 21% and 19% with the addition of the NEPi and the ECEi. Again, the mean arterial blood pressure rose back to 148 +/- 4 mmHg following cessation of treatment. Daily biochemical and hematological analysis of plasma did not reveal any signs of toxicity, except for a rapid elevation in K (40%) after 1 day of ACEi. Thus, angiotensin II inhibition plays a primary role in controlling the blood pressure of spontaneously hypertensive whereas additional NEPi and ECEi did not provide further benefits under the present dose combinations. The normalizing effect of the higher dose of ACEi by itself made it impossible to discriminate the role of neutral endopeptidase and endothelin-converting enzyme-modulated peptides and to further define the paradigm of triple vasopeptidase inhibition toward better control of vascular hemodynamics. Additional studies are underway. 相似文献

Induction of neutral endopeptidase and angiotensin-converting enzyme activity of SK-N-SH cells in vitro by quercetin and resveratrol 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Quercetin and resveratrol are weak inhibitors of neutral endopeptidase (NEP) and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) activity of the neuroblastoma cell line SK-N-SH. The long term incubation of the cells for 4 days with quercetin, resveratrol and a combination of both substances in concentrations lower than necessary for inhibition of NEP and ACE activity induced the cellular enzyme activity of NEP and ACE associated with an inhibition of cellular proliferation. The long term treatment of neuroblastoma cells with quercetin and resveratrol enhanced the differentiation state of the cells. Taking into account the significance of NEP and ACE for the degradation of amyloid beta peptides, the effect of quercetin and resveratrol as constituents of red wine for a neuroprotective activity is discussed. 相似文献

M100240 is a thioester of MDL 100,173, a dual angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE)/neutral endopeptidase (NEP) inhibitor. Clinical studies have shown that M100240 is capable of decreasing ACE activity and angiotensin II concentrations while increasing plasma renin activity and potentiating the effects of atrial natriuretic peptide. This may result in a unique treatment benefit in disease states characterized by intravascular volume or sodium overload or increased venous pressure. The pharmacokinetics of MDL 100,173 were evaluated in 30 healthy subjects in an open-label, randomized, 2-period crossover design. Subjects received a single oral dose of 50 mg of M100240 administered with a high-fat meal and separately under fasted conditions. Serial plasma concentrations of M100240 and MDL 100,173 were analyzed, and pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated with noncompartmental methods. The intrasubject percent coefficient of variation for MDL 100,173 C(max) and AUC(0-24h) were less than 20%, indicating that this agent is a moderately variable drug. Although AUC(0-24h) was within the protocol-defined range of 80% to 125%, the lower limit of the 90% confidence interval for C(max) fell outside of the 70% to 143% range. Absence of a food effect on the pharmacokinetic profile of 50 mg of M100240 could therefore not be demonstrated. This finding is not surprising based on the documented food effect with the sulfhydryl-containing ACE inhibitor, captopril. Clinical significance of this pharmacokinetic food effect is unlikely, as the magnitude of pharmacodynamic response is probably better correlated with AUC than a single-point determination of C(max). Single oral doses of 50 mg of M100240 were safe and well tolerated under fed and fasted conditions. 相似文献

The hydrolysis of substance P is catalyzed by purified rabbit lung angiotensin-converting enzyme (peptidyldipeptide hydrolase, EC 3.4.15.1). The kcat/Km for the reaction at 37 degrees is 3.3 +/- 0.3 X 10(3) M-1 sec-1, which is 60 times less than that which has been reported for the hydrolysis of angiotensin I. The initial site of hydrolysis is the antipenultimate peptide bond, which generates the tripeptide amide (Gly-Leu-Met-NH2). This hydrolysis is inhibited by the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors captopril, MK-422, and EDTA, and is dependent on the concentration of chloride ion. Both captopril and MK-422 potentiate the substance P-induced stimulation of salivation in rats. Thus, angiotensin-converting enzyme may be one of the enzymes that degrade substance P in vivo. 相似文献

Background: MDL 100,240 (pyrido[2,1-a] [2]benzazepine-4-carboxylic acid,7-[[2-(acetylthio)-1-oxo-3-phenylpropyl]amino]-1,2,3,4,6,7,8,12b-octahydro-6-oxo,
[4S-[4α,7α(R*),12bβ]]-) is a molecule possessing an inhibiting ability on both angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) and neutral endopeptidase,
the enzyme responsible for atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) degradation. Such a dual mechanism of action presents a potential
clinical interest for the treatment of hypertension and congestive heart failure.
Objectives: To evaluate the bioavailability of MDL 100,240 and its accumulation over repeated oral administration, using ACE inhibition
as a surrogate for plasma drug level and determining its profile after oral and i.v. administration.
Methods: First, in an open, one-period, single-dose study, the ACE inhibition profile was characterised following a 12.5 mg MDL 100,240
i.v. infusion. Second, in a three-group, parallel, randomised, double-blind study, each group of four subjects received q.d.,
over 8 days, 2.5, 10 or 20 mg of MDL 100,240 orally. The ACE inhibition profile was determined on day 1 and day 8. Trough
plasma ACE was measured on days 2, 3 and 4. The recovery of ACE activity was monitored up to 72 h after the last dose of MDL
100,240.
Results: ACE inhibition profile was similar on day 1 and day 8, and trough inhibition remained unchanged after the 8 days of treatment
with 10 mg or 20 mg. Following repeated 2.5-mg ingestion, trough inhibition increased from 33% to 44% after the eighth dose.
The oral bioavailability of MDL 100,240 was estimated at 85%, not statistically different from 100%. The accumulation ratio
at steady state was estimated at 112%. Expressing the accumulation ratio in terms of half-life, a t1/2 of 0.31 days or 7.5 h was estimated.
Conclusion: MDL 100,240 (oral solution) has a good bioavailability, as estimated by ACE inhibition, and no drug accumulation seems to
occur over 8 days with the 10-mg and 20-mg doses, but a slight rise in the trough level is observed with the 2.5-mg dose.

In a blind, randomized study, the effects of perindopril, a nonsulfhydryl-containing angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, were compared with those of placebo in a closed-chest pig model of myocardial infarction. In anesthetized pigs, myocardial ischemia and reperfusion were induced by inflation and deflation of a catheter balloon in the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD), respectively. Thirty minutes after induction of ischemia and 15 min before reperfusion, a bolus injection of 0.06 mg/kg perindoprilat (n = 12), the active compound of perindopril, or placebo (n = 12) was administered in the pulmonary artery of these animals. After the acute phase of myocardial infarction, treatment with 12 mg/day perindopril or placebo was continued orally for 2 weeks. During the entire treatment period, 7 of 12 animals died in the placebo group versus 2 of 12 animals in the perindopril group (Fisher's exact test p less than 0.04). This beneficial effect of perindopril on mortality could not be attributed to salvage of myocardial tissue because the increases in creatine phosphokinase and coronary venous purine levels were similar in perindopril- and placebo-treated animals. Neither were there any significant between-treatment differences in the hemodynamic and (neuro)humoral parameters during the acute phase of myocardial infarction. The difference in mortality was observed within 24 h after myocardial infarction. Prevention of acute pump failure and, especially, life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias may explain this improvement in survival by perindopril. Retrospectively, logistic regression analysis showed that, irrespective of treatment, survival was inversely correlated to plasma renin activity (PRA) before induction of ischemia (r = -0.33; p less than 0.02).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

This study was designed to determine whether inhibition of neutral endopeptidase 24.11 (NEP) reduces infarct size and enhances protection afforded by ischemic preconditioning (PC) by elevation of the tissue bradykinin (BK) level in the heart in situ. In experiments to determine a dose of thiorphan (Thio) that inhibits NEP activity in the rabbit, infusion of Thio at a rate of 15 micro g/kg per min was found to be NEP-selective, since it increased the extent and duration of hypotension after BK injection (50 ng/kg and 100 ng/kg, i.v.) but did not inhibit pressor response to angiotensin I (100 ng/kg and 500 ng/kg, i.v.). Infusion of Thio at a rate of 25 micro g/kg per min blunted pressor response to angiotensin I by 30%, suggesting this dose partially inhibits angiotensin-converting enzyme activity. In the second series of experiments, myocardial infarction was induced by 30-min coronary occlusion and 3-h reperfusion in rabbits. In untreated controls, infarct size as a percentage of area at risk (%IS/AR) was 50.1+/-4.1%, and infusion of Thio at 15 micro g/kg per min and 25 micro g/kg per min failed to limit infarct size (54.3+/-4.0% and 50.1+/-2.8%, respectively). However, these doses of Thio significantly reduced %IS/AR when combined with PC with 2-min ischemia to 25.7+/-3.3% and 19.7+/-3.1%, respectively, although this submaximal PC protocol alone did not achieve significant cardioprotection (%IS/AR=35.6+/-4.0%). This effect of Thio on PC was abolished by pretreatment with icatibant (2 micro g/kg), a BK B(2) receptor blocker. The results of the present study suggest that NEP inhibition does not increase anti-infarct tolerance of the myocardium but significantly enhances cardioprotection of PC via a B(2) receptor-mediated mechanism. 相似文献

The purpose of the current study was to evaluate nifedipine-induced epicardial and microvascular response in human coronary arteries with and without endothelial dysfunction and intimal thickening. The investigation was performed in 70 patients 5 +/- 5 months after heart transplantation. Coronary vasomotor function was determined with intracoronary acetylcholine adenosine, and nifedipine, respectively. Intravascular ultrasound was used to detect significant intimal hyperplasia. In a subgroup (n = 38), coronary sinus and aortic endothelin concentrations were determined. Epicardial dilation to nifedipine was significantly enhanced in coronary arteries with endothelial dysfunction (p = 0.04), whereas adenosine-induced epicardial dilation was attenuated in segments with endothelial dysfunction (p = 0.002). In cases of intimal hyperplasia, nifedipine-mediated distal vasodilation was increased compared with normal segments (p = 0.03). Coronary flow index nifedipine was enhanced in patients with microvascular endothelial dysfunction (p = 0.037). A trend was observed between high endothelin plasma levels in the coronary sinus and an increased microvasodilation to nifedipine (p = 0.04). The study shows that epicardial and microvascular dilation to nifedipine is enhanced in the setting of coronary endothelial dysfunction, suggesting supersensitive dilator response. The association between microvascular response to nifedipine and endothelin levels in the coronary sinus needs further clarification. 相似文献

M100240 is an acetate thioester of MDL 100,173-a dual angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE)/neutral endopeptidase (NEP) inhibitor-in phase II development. The pharmacokinetics of M100240 and MDL 100,173 were compared in young and elderly subjects. Pharmacokinetic data were obtained from 12 young (ages 18-45 years, 10 male, 2 female) and 12 elderly (ages 65-85 years, 7 male, 5 female) healthy subjects in a parallel-group, open-label study. Following an overnight fast, subjects received a single 25-mg oral dose of M100240. Serial plasma concentrations of M100240 and MDL 100,173 were determined using a validated liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) method, and pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated with noncompartmental methods. Single-dose treatment with M100240 was well tolerated in both groups of subjects, with no clinically significant changes in vital signs, ECG recordings, or laboratory safety parameters. M100240 was rapidly absorbed and converted to MDL 100,173, with M100240 concentrations no longer detectable at 3 to 4 hours postdose in both groups. The pharmacokinetics of the pharmacologically active MDL 100,173 were similar for both groups. Although maximum concentrations of M100240 were generally higher in elderly versus young subjects (C(max) 0.48 ng/mL vs. 0.17 ng/mL), systemic availability of M100240 was quite low and variable with plasma, and this apparent difference in parent drug exposure is unlikely to have important clinical implications. No age-related differences in the pharmacokinetic parameters of MDL 100,173 (C(max) 8.16 vs. 9.62 ng/mL, t(max) 1.25 vs. 1.5 h, AUC((0-last)) 81.6 vs. 72.2 ng x h/mL) were observed between young and elderly subjects, respectively. In conclusion, there are no age-related differences in the pharmacokinetics of MDL 100,173 between young and elderly subjects. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to determine whether acute dual angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE)/neutral endopeptidase 24-11 (NEP) inhibition could improve whole body insulin-mediated glucose disposal (IMGD) more than ACE inhibition alone and whether this effect was mediated by the kinin-nitric oxide (NO) pathway activation. We therefore compared in anaesthetized obese (fa/fa) Zucker rats (ZOs) the effects of captopril (2 mg kg(-1), i.v.+2 mg kg(-1) h(-1)), retrothiorphan (25 mg kg(-1), i.v. +25 mg kg(-1) h(-1)), a selective NEP inhibitor, and mixanpril (25 mg kg(-1), i.v. +25 mg kg(-1) h(-1)), a dual ACE/NEP inhibitor, on IMGD using hyperinsulinaemic euglycaemic clamp technique. The role of the kinin-NO pathway in the effects of mixanpril was tested using a bradykinin B2 receptor antagonist (Hoe-140, 300 microg kg(-1)) and a NO-synthase inhibitor (N(omega)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester, L-NAME, 10 mg kg(-1) i.v. +10 mg kg(-1) h(-1)) as pretreatments. Insulin sensitivity index (ISI) was lower in ZO controls than in lean littermates. Increases in ISI were observed in captopril- and retrothiorphan-treated ZOs. In mixanpril-treated ZOs, ISI was further increased, compared to captopril- and retrothiorphan-treated ZOs. In ZOs, Hoe-140 and L-NAME alone did not significantly alter and slightly reduced the ISI respectively. Hoe-140 and L-NAME markedly inhibited the ISI improvement induced by mixanpril. These results show that in obese insulin-resistant Zucker rats, under acute conditions, NEP or ACE inhibition can improve IMGD and that dual ACE/NEP inhibition improves IMGD more effectively than does either single inhibition. This effect is linked to an increased activation of the kinin-NO pathway. 相似文献

Fifty patients with mild to moderate essential hypertension were randomized to receive either 20 mg fosinopril daily for 16 weeks or placebo for 4 weeks followed by 12 weeks of 50 mg atenolol daily. Prior to these 16 weeks there was a placebo wash-out period of 2–6 weeks. Blood pressure measurements, euglycaemic, hyperinsulinaemic glucose clamps, and intravenous glucose tolerance tests (IVGTT) were performed at baseline and after 4 and 16 weeks. Blood lipid status was evaluated at baseline and 16 weeks.The insulin sensitivity index (M/I) increased by 12% during the prolonged placebo period, and subsequently decreased by 12% during treatment with atenolol in that group. A post-hoc analysis of covariance indicated that the increase in insulin sensitivity during the initial 4 weeks may have been due to carry over effects from previous anti-hypertensive treatment. Fosinopril increased glucose disappearance during IVGTT at 4 and 16 weeks (k values 1.46 and 1.33 vs 1.10 at baseline) but had no effect on insulin sensitivity. The change in insulin sensitivity and serum triglycerides during treatment with fosinopril was related to angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition in serum.In conclusion, carry-over effects from previous anti-hypertensive medication were indicated in this study, probably because of an insufficient wash-out period in many patients. Therefore, 4 weeks of placebo wash-out in all patients is advisable in this kind of investigation. 相似文献

Inhibitors of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) acutely increase sodium excretion. Whether or not continued treatment induces net negative sodium balance is not clear, and may depend on initial sodium balance. We therefore investigated the effects of 8 days of treatment with enalapril, 10 mg b.i.d., on sodium balance in 10 subjects with uncomplicated essential hypertension, in balance on a low (50 mmol sodium/24 h) and a liberal (200 mmol sodium/24 h) sodium intake. Sodium excretion exceeded intake during the first days of treatment, amounting to sodium losses of 101 +/- 24 and 112 +/- 15 mmol in the low and the liberal sodium diets, respectively. The sodium loss was accompanied by a fall in body weight with both regimens. The blood pressure response to enalapril was potentiated by the sodium-restricted diet. The net increase in sodium excretion after enalapril administration, however, was similar for both diets. This was particularly true for individual patients, suggesting an individual response pattern to ACE inhibition. 相似文献

We have investigated the effects of separate and combined s.c. and intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) injections of captopril, an inhibitor of angiotensin I-converting enzyme, on isoproterenol-induced thirst. Whereas s.c. injections of captopril (0.5 mg/kg) increased drinking, combined s.c. and i.c.v. (20 μg) injections of captopril nearly abolished drinking to isoproterenol (0.1 mg/kg s.c.). This inhibition was not caused by general debility of the rats since the same treatment did not reduce drinking to 12 h water deprivation. Intracerebroventricular injection of 20 μg captopril alone also greatly reduced isoproterenol-induced drinking, perhaps because it leaked into the circulation; captopril i.c.v. also reduced the pressor response to i.v. injection of hog renin (0.1 Gold blattUnit) by about 65%. These results support the hypothesis that the renin-angiotensin system participates in the stimulation of drinking by isoproterenol and that the enhancement of drinking caused by inhibition of CE only in the circulation is the result of increased synthesis of angiotensin II in the brain. 相似文献
