Influence of inhibition of angiotensin I converting enzyme with SQ-14225 on the arterial blood pressure of mongrel dogs. 1978

B S Jandhyala, and G F Washington, and M F Lokhandwala

Effects of SQ-14225 (0.1, 0.3, and 3.0 mg/kg, i.v.) on the pressor responses to angiotensin I (A-I) and on the arterial blood pressure were investigated in anesthetized mongrel dogs. All the three doses significantly inhibited A-I induced pressor response (70-80%), however reduction in the blood pressure was noted only with the highest dose used. Neither bilateral nephrectomy, autonomic ganglionic blockade nor pretreatment with saralasin, an angiotensin II antagonist, altered the hypotensive activity of SQ-14225 (3 mg/kg, i.v.). The results of this study indicate that significant inhibition of angiotensin converting enzyme does not result in a decrease in the blood pressure in dogs, and that the hypotension produced by SQ-14225 may involve a mechanism yet to be identified.

D010424 Pentobarbital A short-acting barbiturate that is effective as a sedative and hypnotic (but not as an anti-anxiety) agent and is usually given orally. It is prescribed more frequently for sleep induction than for sedation but, like similar agents, may lose its effectiveness by the second week of continued administration.

D000806 Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors A class of drugs whose main indications are the treatment of hypertension and heart failure. They exert their hemodynamic effect mainly by inhibiting the renin-angiotensin system. They also modulate sympathetic nervous system activity and increase prostaglandin synthesis. They cause mainly vasodilation and mild natriuresis without affecting heart rate and contractility.
