The pharmacological profile of a vasopeptidase inhibitor is dependent on the ratio of neutral endopeptidase (NEP)vs angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition of the particular drug. We used in vitro autoradiography to determine the local renal and cardiac NEP and ACE inhibition after oral treatment with the dual NEP/ACE inhibitor omapatrilat in rat. Maximal inhibition of both renal NEP and ACE was achieved at the omapatrilat dose of 40 mg kg(-1)day(-1). Effective local ACE inhibition was detected also in the myocardium. The haemodynamic effects were similar to captopril, but omapatrilat treatment produced more favorable effect on natriuretic peptide levels. In conclusion, good tissue penetration of omapatrilat and balanced NEP/ACE inhibition may prove to be useful in the treatment of hypertension and heart failure.

D007668 Kidney Body organ that filters blood for the secretion of URINE and that regulates ion concentrations. Kidneys
D007703 Peptidyl-Dipeptidase A A peptidyl-dipeptidase that catalyzes the release of a C-terminal dipeptide, oligopeptide-|-Xaa-Yaa, when Xaa is not Pro, and Yaa is neither Asp nor Glu. Thus, conversion of ANGIOTENSIN I to ANGIOTENSIN II, with increase in vasoconstrictor activity, but no action on angiotensin II. It is also able to inactivate BRADYKININ, a potent vasodilator; and has a glycosidase activity which releases GPI-anchored proteins from the membrane by cleaving the mannose linkage in the GPI moiety.

D002216 Captopril A potent and specific inhibitor of PEPTIDYL-DIPEPTIDASE A. It blocks the conversion of ANGIOTENSIN I to ANGIOTENSIN II, a vasoconstrictor and important regulator of arterial blood pressure. Captopril acts to suppress the RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN SYSTEM and inhibits pressure responses to exogenous angiotensin.
