Pulmonary metabolism of bradykinin analogues and the contribution of angiotensin converting enzyme to bradykinin inactivation in isolated lungs. 1977

Y S Bakhle

1 The activity and pulmonary metabolism of two peptides, 7-homo Pro-bradykinin and 8-homo Phe-bradykinin were studied in isolated systems. 2 Both analogues were about 50-70 times less active than bradykinin on the guinea-pig ileum and 70-160 times less active on isolated strips of cat terminal ileum. 3 The action of both analogues on guinea-pig ileum was potentiated (2.5-3.0 fold) by a bradykinin potentiating peptide (BPP9a) but less so than the action of bradykinin (4-5 fold). 4 Like bradykinin, the 8-homo Phe analogue was extensively inactivated (greater than 90%) in a single passage through the pulmonary circulation of guinea-pig or rat isolated lungs and this inactivation was prevented by pre-treatment of the lungs with BPP9a. 5 The 7-homo Pro analogue was inactivated to a lesser degree in guinea-pig lungs (58%) and in rat lungs (89%) and its inactivation was not affected by BPP9a. 6 It is concluded that the 8-homo Phe analogue is a substrate for the dipeptidylcarboxypeptidase (angiotensin I converting enzyme) of lung, whereas the 7-homo Pro analogue is not a substrate. 7 There is about four times as much dipeptidylcarboxypeptidase activity in guinea-pig isolated lungs as there is in rat isolated lungs.

D007700	Kinetics	The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
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.

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.
