Inhibitory effects of candesartan on responses to angiotensin peptides in the hindquarters vascular bed of the cat.
The effects of the nonpeptide angiotensin II AT1 receptor antagonist candesartan on responses to angiotensin II were investigated in the hindquarters vascular bed of the cat. Under constant-flow conditions, injections of angiotensin II into the hindquarters perfusion circuit elicited dose-dependent increases in perfusion pressure. Candesartan in a dose of 3 micrograms/kg i.v. decreased vasoconstrictor responses to angiotensin II in a competitive manner. However, at doses of 10-1000 micrograms/kg i.v., candesartan shifted the dose-response curve to angiotensin II to the right in a nonparallel manner, suggesting a noncompetitive blockade. The inhibitory effects of candesartan on responses to angiotensin II were long in duration, and the AT1 receptor antagonist had little effect on baseline pressures. Candesartan was without effect on vasoconstrictor responses to norepinephrine, U46619, PGF2 alpha, and BAY K8644; on biphasic responses to endothelin-1; and on vasodilator responses to acetylcholine. Candesartan significantly attenuated hindquarters vasoconstrictor responses to angiotensin III and IV with a parallel shift at the 3 micrograms/kg iv dose and a nonparallel shift to the right at the high dose of the AT1 receptor antagonist. The results of the present study indicate that candesartan is a potent angiotensin AT1 receptor antagonist that can induce both competitive and noncompetitive blockade of responses to angiotensin II, III, and IV n the hindquarters vascular bed of the cat.

Comparison of the antihypertensive effects of the new angiotensin II (AT1) receptor antagonist candesartan cilexetil (TCV-116) and the angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor enalapril in rats.
Antihypertensive effects of an angiotensin (Ang) II receptor antagonist, candesartan cilexetil (TCV-116), were compared with those of an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, enalapril, in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), 2-kidney, 1-clip hypertensive rats (2K, 1C-HR) and 1-kidney, 1-clip hypertensive rats (1K, 1C-HR). CV-11974, the active form of TCV-116, had no inhibitory activity for plasma ACE. In rats, TCV-116 inhibited the pressor responses to Ang I, Ang II, and Ang III without an effect on the bradykinin (BK)-induced depressor response. Enalapril inhibited only the Ang I-response and potentiated the BK-response. In SHR, the antihypertensive effect of TCV-116 (10 mg/kg) was larger than the maximum antihypertensive effect of enalapril and was not intensified by combination with enalapril. Administration of CV-11974 potentiated the maximum antihypertensive effect of enalapril. Although both agents reduced blood pressure in 2K, 1C-HR, only TCV-116 had a marked antihypertensive effect in 1K, 1C-HR. These findings indicate that TCV-116 is more effective than enalapril in reducing blood pressure in SHR and 1K, 1C-HR, and that the BK- and/or prostaglandin-potentiating effect of enalapril contributes little to its antihypertensive mechanism in SHR.

Effect of an angiotensin II receptor antagonist, CV-11974, and its prodrug, TCV-116, on production of aldosterone.
In dispersed rabbit adrenocortical glomerulosa cells, a non-peptide angiotensin II (AT1) receptor antagonist, CV-11974 (10(-10)-10(-5) M), competitively inhibited angiotensin II- or angiotensin III-stimulated aldosterone production, whereas PD123177, an angiotensin AT2 receptor antagonist, did not. CV-11974 inhibited aldosterone production induced by 4 mM K+ but not by 12 mM K+. CV-11974 had no effect on adrenocorticotropic hormone-stimulated aldosterone or corticosterone production, but inhibited angiotensin II-stimulated corticosterone production. In the rat, TCV-116, the prodrug of CV-11974, (0.1 and 1 mg/kg, p.o.) markedly reduced the elevation of both plasma aldosterone concentration and blood pressure induced by i.v. infusion of angiotensin II. In spontaneously hypertensive rats, TCV-116 at daily p.o. doses of 0.1, 1 and 10 mg/kg for 2 weeks caused a dose-dependent reduction of blood pressure and plasma aldosterone concentration without affecting plasma corticosterone. Thus, TCV-116 inhibited the induction of aldosterone production by not only exogenous but also endogenous angiotensin II.

Pharmacological profile of a highly potent and long-acting angiotensin II receptor antagonist, 2-ethoxy-1-[[2'-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)biphenyl-4- yl]methyl]-1H-benzimidazole-7-carboxylic acid (CV-11974), and its prodrug, (+/-)-1-(cyclohexyloxycarbonyloxy)-ethy
The angiotensin II (AII) antagonistic action of 2-ethoxy-1-[[2'-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)biphenyl-4-yl]methyl-1H-benzi mid azole-7 - carboxylic acid (CV-11974) was examined in in vitro assay systems, including AII receptor binding assay using membrane fractions of bovine adrenal cortex or rabbit aorta and AII-induced contraction assay using rabbit aortic strips, and CV-11974 and its prodrug, (+/-)1-(cyclohexyloxycarbonyloxy)ethyl 2-ethoxy-1-[[2'-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)biphenyl-4-yl]methyl]-1H- benzimidazole-7-carboxylate (TCV-116), were examined in an in vivo system of AII-induced pressor response in conscious rats. DuP 753 or EXP3174 (the main active metabolite of DuP 753) was used as the reference compound. CV-11974 inhibited the binding of [125I] AII to the bovine adrenal cortical membrane and rabbit aortic membrane with IC50 values of 1.12 x 10(-7) and 2.86 x 10(-8) M, respectively. Similar results were obtained with EXP3174. CV-11974 interacted with AII in these membrane fractions with subtype 1 receptor in a competitive manner. CV-11974 at 10(-5) M did not affect the binding of [125I]AII to subtype 2 (AT2) receptor in bovine cerebellum. CV-11974 selectively inhibited the AII-induced contraction of rabbit aortic strips in a noncompetitive manner (pD' 2, 9.97); it had no effects on the contraction induced by norepinephrine, KCl, serotonin, prostaglandin F2 alpha or endothelin. EXP3174 showed a pD'2 value of 8.95 for the AII-induced contraction. CV-11974 given intravenously and TCV-116 given orally inhibited the AII-induced pressor response in rats with ID50 values of 0.033 mg/kg and 0.069 mg/kg, respectively. These effects of CV-11974 and TCV-116 were 12 and 48 times more potent than those of EXP3174 and DuP 753, respectively.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) Topics: Adrenal Cortex; Angiotensin II; Angiotensin III; Angiotensin Receptor Antagonists; Animals; Antihypertensive Agents; Aorta; Benzimidazoles; Biphenyl Compounds; Blood Pressure; Cattle; Imidazoles; In Vitro Techniques; Iodine Radioisotopes; Kinetics; Losartan; Male; Muscle Contraction; Muscle, Smooth, Vascular; Prodrugs; Protein Binding; Rabbits; Rats; Rats, Sprague-Dawley; Substrate Specificity; Tetrazoles | 1993 |
