Derivative UV spectroscopy and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) were applied to the determination of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors in their pharmaceutical dosage forms. For spectrophotometric determinations, the more appropriate derivative order was selected for each drug: ramipril (third-order), benazepril (second-order), enalapril maleate (second-order), lisinopril (first- and second-order) and quinapril (first-order). Reverse phase HPLC procedures (ODS column) were developed able to provide a single, symmetric peak for each drug; mixtures A-B, where A is 20 mM sodium heptansulphonate (pH 2.5) and B is acetonitrile-THF (95:5 v/v), proved to be suitable mobile phases to obtain selective separations of the cited ACE inhibitors. At ambient temperature, a low pH value (2.5) was found to be critical to avoid peak splitting and band broadening.

Bradykinin may be involved in neuropeptide Y-induced diuresis, natriuresis, and calciuresis.

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) can cause diuresis, natriuresis, and calciuresis in rats independently of the pressure-natriuresis mechanism (A. Bischoff and M. C. Michel. Pflugers Arch. 435: 443-453, 1998). Because this is seen in systemic but not intrarenal NPY infusion, we have investigated the possible mediator of tubular NPY effects in anesthetized rats. In the present study, infusion of NPY (2 micrograms . kg-1 . min-1) enhanced renovascular resistance by approximately 8 mmHg . ml-1 . min and enhanced urine and sodium excretion by approximately 450 microliter/15 min and approximately 60-85 micromol/15 min, respectively. Acute renal denervation did not alter renovascular or tubular NPY effects, indicating that a neuronally released mediator is not involved. Treatment with the angiotensin II-receptor antagonist losartan prevented the decline of the renovascular response with time but did not modify tubular NPY effects. The bradykinin B2-receptor antagonist icatibant accelerated the decline of the renovascular NPY effects with time; concomitantly, it attenuated NPY-induced diuresis and natriuresis and abolished NPY-induced calciuresis. The converting-enzyme inhibitor ramiprilat prevented the decline of the renovascular response with time; concomitantly, it magnified the NPY-induced diuresis, natriuresis, and calciuresis. We conclude that bradykinin may be involved in NPY-induced diuresis, natriuresis, and, in particular, calciuresis.

Using indomethacin (2.5 mg/kg/day, i.m.) in rats, we confirmed the well-known interaction of NSAID's and the urinary elimination of lithium. This is due to an increase in the tubular reabsorption of lithium, probably associated with an increase in the reabsorption of sodium in the ascending limb of the loop of Henle, following inhibition of the synthesis of prostaglandins. With ramipril (1 mg/kg/day, p.o.), we confirmed an interaction with lithium pharmacokinetics in rats, also associated with an increase in the tubular reabsorption of sodium. In contrast, the angiotensin receptor antagonist losartan (10 mg/kg/day, p.o.) had no effect in this paradigm. Since the effects of ramipril were partially inhibited by an i.v. infusion of an antagonist of the bradykinin B2 receptor icatibant (0.1 mg/kg/day), we suggest that bradykinin contributes to the interaction between angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors and renal excretion of lithium.
