Antihypertensive agents: angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors. 1-[3-(Acylthio)-3-aroylpropionyl]-L-prolines.

McEvoy FJ, Lai FM, Albright JD.

A series of 1-[3-(acylthio)-3-aroylpropionyl]-L-proline derivatives was synthesized. A number of these compounds are potent angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors that lowered blood pressure in aorta-coarcted renal hypertensive rats. The most active derivatives are 1-[3(R)-(acetylthio) -3-substituted-benzoyl)-2(S)-methyl-propionyl]-L-prolines with an in vivo activity equivalent to SQ 14,225 (captopril). Structure-activity relationships are discussed. Changes in the configuration of the alpha-methyl group and the S-acetyl group affect the ACE activity. Coupling of 3-(substituted-benzoyl)-2-methylpropionic acids to L-proline via enol lactones is described.

BACKGROUND: The mechanisms behind the beneficial effects of renin-angiotensin system blockade after myocardial infarction (MI) are not fully elucidated but may include interference with tissue angiotensin II (Ang II). METHODS AND RESULTS: Forty-nine pigs underwent coronary artery ligation or sham operation and were studied up to 6 weeks. To determine coronary angiotensin I (Ang I) to Ang II conversion and to distinguish plasma-derived Ang II from locally synthesized Ang II, (125)I-labeled and endogenous Ang I and II were measured in plasma and in infarcted and noninfarcted left ventricle (LV) during (125)I-Ang I infusion. Ang II type 1 (AT(1)) receptor-mediated uptake of circulating (125)I-Ang II was increased at 1 and 3 weeks in noninfarcted LV, and this uptake was the main cause of the transient elevation in Ang II levels in the noninfarcted LV at 1 week. Ang II levels and AT(1) receptor-mediated uptake of circulating Ang II were reduced in the infarct area at all time points. Coronary Ang I to Ang II conversion was unaffected by MI. Captopril and the AT(1) receptor antagonist eprosartan attenuated postinfarct remodeling, although both drugs increased cardiac Ang II production. Captopril blocked coronary conversion by >80% and normalized Ang II uptake in the noninfarcted LV. Eprosartan did not affect coronary conversion and blocked cardiac Ang II uptake by >90%. CONCLUSIONS: Both circulating and locally generated Ang II contribute to remodeling after MI. The rise in tissue Ang II production during angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition and AT(1) receptor blockade suggests that the antihypertrophic effects of these drugs result not only from diminished AT(1) receptor stimulation but also from increased stimulation of growth-inhibitory Ang II type 2 receptors.

Inactivation of Trypanosoma cruzi dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase by leukocyte myeloperoxidase systems: role of hypochloride and nitrite related radicals.

Dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (LADH) from Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas' disease, was inactivated by treatment with myeloperoxidase (MPO)-dependent systems. LADH lipoamide reductase and diaphorase activities decreased as a function of incubation time and composition of the MPO/H2O2/halide system, a transient increase preceding the loss of diaphorase activity. Iodide, bromide, thiocyanide and chloride were effective components of MPO/H2O2 or MPO/NADH systems. Catalase prevented LADH inactivation by the MPO/NADH/halide systems in agreement with H2O2 production by NADH-supplemented LADH. Thiol compounds (L-cysteine, N-acetylcysteine, penicillamine, N-(2-mercaptopropionylglycine) and Captopril prevented LADH inactivation by the MPO/H2O2/NaCl system and by NaOCl, thus supporting HOCl as agent of the MPO/H2O2/NaCl system. MPO/H2O2/NaNO2 and MPO/NADH/NaNO2 inactivated LADH, the reaction being prevented by MPO inhibitors and thiol compounds. T. cruzi LADH was affected by MPO-dependent systems like myocardial LADH, allowance being made for the variation of the diaphorase activity and the greater sensitivity of the T. cruzi enzyme to MPO/H2O2/halide systems.
