We assessed the inhibitory effect of DuP 753, an orally active angiotensin II receptor antagonist, on the pressor action of exogenous angiotensin I and II in healthy volunteers. In a single dose study, doses of 2.5, 5, 10, 20, and 40 mg of DuP 753 or placebo were tested serially at one week intervals. In the multiple dose study, the administration of placebo or DuP 735 (5, 10, 20, or 40 mg, per os once daily) for eight consecutive days was evaluated. The blood pressure response to angiotensin I and II was inhibited in a dose-dependent fashion with a blocking effect still present 24 h post drug. DuP 753 also induced a dose-dependent compensatory rise in plasma renin. This new compound was well tolerated by these normal volunteers. Thus, DuP 753 appears to be a well tolerated, orally active, potent and long-lasting antagonist of angiotensin II in humans.

D012084 Renin-Angiotensin System A BLOOD PRESSURE regulating system of interacting components that include RENIN; ANGIOTENSINOGEN; ANGIOTENSIN CONVERTING ENZYME; ANGIOTENSIN I; ANGIOTENSIN II; and angiotensinase. Renin, an enzyme produced in the kidney, acts on angiotensinogen, an alpha-2 globulin produced by the liver, forming ANGIOTENSIN I. Angiotensin-converting enzyme, contained in the lung, acts on angiotensin I in the plasma converting it to ANGIOTENSIN II, an extremely powerful vasoconstrictor. Angiotensin II causes contraction of the arteriolar and renal VASCULAR SMOOTH MUSCLE, leading to retention of salt and water in the KIDNEY and increased arterial blood pressure. In addition, angiotensin II stimulates the release of ALDOSTERONE from the ADRENAL CORTEX, which in turn also increases salt and water retention in the kidney. Angiotensin-converting enzyme also breaks down BRADYKININ, a powerful vasodilator and component of the KALLIKREIN-KININ SYSTEM.
