The effect of different thiol drugs and 2-methyl-thiazolidine-2,4-dicarboxylic acid on the oxidative stress, induced by hydrogen peroxide, was examined in human erythrocytes. The results indicated that captopril (CA), methimazole, N-acetylcysteine (NAC), penicillamine and precursor of L-cysteine 2-methyl-thiazolidine-2,4-dicarboxylic acid (CP) might protect the erythrocyte membrane against lipid peroxidation in the experimental conditions. Captopril, methimazole and penicillamine had the strongest antioxidative properties at the concentration level of 0.5 mM. The protective effects gradually decreased at higher and lower concentrations of these drugs. Contrary, the antioxidative properties of N-acetylcysteine increased with its levels growing in the reaction mixture, and only N-acetylpenicillamine did not protect erythrocytes against oxidative damages. The effect of 2-methyl-thiazolidine-2,4-dicarboxylic acid showed in these in vitro experimental conditions that it could act as an antioxidant at the concentration as high as 5 mM and higher.

Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is associated with abnormal ventricular electrophysiology. We have shown complete regression of LVH and normalization of ventricular electrophysiology in renovascular hypertensive rabbits treated with captopril. To determine if angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1) blockade produces the same benefit, we treated hypertensive rabbits with losartan for 3 months. LVH was evaluated by heart-to-body weight ratio (HW/BW). Vulnerability to ventricular arrhythmia was assessed by ventricular fibrillation threshold (VFT) and dispersion of effective refractory period (ERP). The electrical properties of single left ventricular myocytes were characterized by action potential duration at 90% repolarization (APD90) and inward rectifier K+ current (I(K1)) density. Hypertensive rabbits treated with vehicle (LVH/Vehicle) had higher mean arterial pressure (MAP, 81+/-2 vs. 60+/-2 mm Hg) and HW/BW (2.71+/-0.07 vs. 1.97+/-0.04 g/kg), lower VFT (20+/-1 vs. 39+/-2 mA), larger dispersion of ERP (34+/-3 vs. 14+/-3 ms), longer APD90 (187+/-6 vs. 162+/-6 ms) and lower I(K1) density compared with control rabbits. Hypertensive rabbits treated with losartan (LVH/Losartan) had HW/BW (2.36+/-0.06 g/kg) between those of LVH/Vehicle and control rabbits, whereas MAP (65+/-2 mm Hg), VFT (34+/-2 mA), dispersion of ERP (19+/-1 ms), APD90 (160+/-6 ms), and I(K1) density were significantly different from LVH/Vehicle but similar to control. We conclude that AT1 blockade in renovascular hypertensive rabbits normalizes ventricular electrophysiology.

N:-Acetyl-seryl-aspartyl-lysyl-proline (Ac-SDKP) is a natural inhibitor of pluripotent hematopoietic stem cell entry into the S phase of the cell cycle and is normally present in human plasma. Ac-SDKP is exclusively hydrolyzed by ACE, and its plasma concentration is increased 5-fold after ACE inhibition in humans. We examined the effect of 0.05 to 100 nmol/L Ac-SDKP on 24-hour (3)H-thymidine incorporation (DNA synthesis) by cardiac fibroblasts both in the absence and presence of 5% FCS. Captopril (1 micromol/L) was added in all cases to prevent the degradation of Ac-SDKP. Treatment of cardiac fibroblasts with 5% FCS increased thymidine incorporation from a control value of 12 469+/-594 to 24 598+/-1051 cpm (P:<0.001). Cotreatment with 1 nmol/L Ac-SDKP reduced stimulation to control levels (10 373+/-200 cpm, P:<0.001). We measured hydroxyproline content and incorporation of (3)H-proline into collagenous fibroblast proteins and found that Ac-SDKP blocked endothelin-1 (10(-8) mol/L)-induced collagen synthesis in a biphasic and dose-dependent manner, causing inhibition at low doses, whereas high doses had little or no effect. It also blunted the activity of p44/p42 mitogen-activated protein kinase in a biphasic and dose-dependent manner in serum-stimulated fibroblasts, suggesting that the inhibitory effect of DNA and collagen synthesis may depend in part on blocking mitogen-activated protein kinase activity. Participation of p44/p42 in collagen synthesis was confirmed, because a specific inhibitor for p44/p42 activation (PD 98059, 25 micromol/L) was able to block endothelin-1-induced collagen synthesis, similar to the effect of Ac-SDKP. The fact that Ac-SDKP inhibits DNA and collagen synthesis in cardiac fibroblasts suggests that it may be an important endogenous regulator of fibroblast proliferation and collagen synthesis in the heart. Ac-SDKP may participate in the cardioprotective effect of ACE inhibitors by limiting fibroblast proliferation (and hence collagen production), and therefore it would reduce fibrosis in patients with hypertension.
