2-n-Butyl-4-chloro-5-hydroxymethyl-1-[2'-(1H-tetrazole-5-yl)biphenyl-4-y l) methyl]imidazole, potassium salt (DuP 753) is a potent, p.o. active antihypertensive agent exerting its action by specific blockade of angiotensin II receptors. It inhibited the specific binding of labeled angiotensin II to its receptor sites in rat adrenal cortical membranes and in cultured rat smooth muscle cells with IC50 values of 19 and 20 X 10(-9) M, respectively. Functional antagonism was demonstrated by its blockage of angiotensin II (3 X 10(-8) M)-induced 45Ca++ efflux in rat aortic smooth muscle cells with an IC50 of 2 X 10(-8) M. In rabbit aorta, DuP 753 antagonized the contractile response to angiotensin II competitively with a pA2 value of 8.48 but had no effect on the responses induced by norepinephrine or KCl. In both in vitro and in vivo assays, no partial agonistic effect was detected even with concentrations of up to 10(-5) M. In addition, this agent (10(-5) or 10(-4) M) exhibited no direct effect on converting enzyme (rabbit lung) or renin (rat plasma). These data demonstrate that DuP 753, is a potent and highly specific angiotensin II receptor antagonist. This agent may be a useful experimental or therapeutic tool for interference with the renin-angiotensin system in health and diseases.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.

D000804 Angiotensin II An octapeptide that is a potent but labile vasoconstrictor. It is produced from angiotensin I after the removal of two amino acids at the C-terminal by ANGIOTENSIN CONVERTING ENZYME. The amino acid in position 5 varies in different species. To block VASOCONSTRICTION and HYPERTENSION effect of angiotensin II, patients are often treated with ACE INHIBITORS or with ANGIOTENSIN II TYPE 1 RECEPTOR BLOCKERS.
