Neutral endopeptidase inhibitors (NEPI) potentiate the hypotensive effect of converting enzyme inhibitors (CEI) in conscious spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) but the mechanism of this potentiation remains unknown. The present study assesses the hemodynamic effects of a CEI (enalaprilat 1 mg/kg; n = 9), a NEPI (retrothiorphan 25 mg/kg + 25 mg/kg/h; n = 9) and the combination (CEI+NEPI; n = 9) versus a control group (n = 9) in anesthetized spontaneously hypertensive rats. CEI alone induced a significant hypotensive effect due to a decrease (-35.1%) in total peripheral resistance (TPR), with no significant increase in cardiac output (CO). NEPI alone had a slight hypotensive effect due to a small decrease in CO. CEI+NEPI decreased the mean arterial pressure to the same extent (-26.7%) as the CEI-induced hypotensive effect, decreased TPR (-44.4%) and induced an increase in CO (+38.2%) with an increase in heart rate. In summary, NEPI combined with CEI induces large decreases in blood pressure and in TPR which do not significantly differ from the CEI-induced effects. It also induces increases in heart rate and in cardiac output in anesthetized SHR.

D006973 Hypertension Persistently high systemic arterial BLOOD PRESSURE. Based on multiple readings (BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION), hypertension is currently defined as when SYSTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently greater than 140 mm Hg or when DIASTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently 90 mm Hg or more.

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.
