Bradykinin analogs containing beta-homoamino acids. 1975

M A Ondetti, and S L Engel

Two new analogs of bradykinin, [8-beta-homophenylalanine]- and [7-beta-homoproline]bradykinin, have been synthesized by the solid-phase technique. In the anesthetized rat, [7-beta-HPro]bradykinin was equipotent with bradykinin and 30-100 times more potent than [8-beta-HPhe]bradykinin in vasodepressor activity. Both analogs were resistant to degradation in vitro by dipeptidylcarboxypeptidase from rabbit lung. Only the 7-beta-HPro analog seemed to be resistant to this type of degradation in vivo, since its hypotensive effect in the anesthetized rat was not potentiated by SQ 20881 (BPP9a), an inhibitor of dipeptidylcarboxypeptidase.

D001920 Bradykinin A nonapeptide messenger that is enzymatically produced from KALLIDIN in the blood where it is a potent but short-lived agent of arteriolar dilation and increased capillary permeability. Bradykinin is also released from MAST CELLS during asthma attacks, from gut walls as a gastrointestinal vasodilator, from damaged tissues as a pain signal, and may be a neurotransmitter.
