The endopeptidase EC 3.4.24.11 (atriopeptidase) degrades atrial natriuretic factor (ANF). Intravenous administration of UK 69,578 (0.025 to 10.0 mg/kg), a new specific atriopeptidase inhibitor, in 16 normal volunteers produced a two- to three-fold rise in endogenous ANF. Peak levels were reached within 2 h declining to control values by 8 h. The rise in ANF was associated with an increase in urine volume and mean urinary sodium excretion rose from 64.9 mmoles/8 h after placebo to 116.1 mmoles/8 h after 10 mg/kg UK 69,578. Despite the natriuresis, plasma active renin concentration was suppressed for up to 8 h. We conclude that inhibition of the endopeptidase EC 3.4.24.11 in humans elevates endogenous ANF and causes a natriuresis and may offer a novel therapeutic approach to the treatment of hypertension and cardiac failure.
