A-192621 is a potent, nonpeptide, orally active and selective endothelin B (ETB) receptor antagonist with an IC50 of 4.5 nM and a Ki of 8.8 nM. A-192621 promotes apoptosis in PASMCs and it also causes elevation of arterial blood pressure and an elevation
Chloracyzine can produce a decrease in myocardial oxygen consumption accompanied by a reduction in coronary blood flow preceded by transient coronary dilatation. It produced an insignificant increase in arterialpressure; heart rate increased slightly in
Methyl diethyldithiocarbamate is an active metabolite of the aldehyde dehydrogenase inhibitor disulfiram .1It is produced by methylation of the disulfiram metabolite diethyldithiocarbamate in mouse liver microsomes.2Methyl diethyldithiocarbamate inhibits liver low Kmaldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) in rats (ID50= 15.5 mg/kg).1It decreases mean arterialpressure (MAP) and increases heart rate during ethanol challenge in rats when administered at a dose of 20.6 mg/kg. 1.Hart, B.W., Yourick, J.J., and Faiman, M.D.S-methyl-N,N-diethylthiolcarbamate: A disulfiram metabolite and potent rat liver mitochondrial low Km aldehyde dehydrogenase inhibitorAlcohol7(2)165-169(1990) 2.Gessner, T., and Jakubowski, M.Diethyldithiocarbamic acid methyl ester.

Adrenomedullin (22-52) is a C-terminal fragment of adrenomedullin (1-52) . In vitro, adrenomedullin (22-52) reduces basal corticosterone production in a mixture of rat adrenocortical and adrenomedulllary cells. It also reverses increases in ACTH-stimulated corticosterone production induced by adrenomedullin (1-52). Adrenomedulin (22-52) (0.5 and 5 μg/kg/min) has no effect on basal regional cerebral blood flow but reverses increases in regional cerebral blood flow induced by rat adrenomedullin in rats. Unlike adrenomedullin (1-52), adrenomedullin (22-52) has no effect on mesenteric arterial perfusion pressure in cats.
TRAP-6 peptide is a hexapeptide corresponding to residues 42-47 of protease-activated receptor 1 (PAR1). It acts as an agonist of PAR1, inducing platelet aggregation in human platelet-rich plasma ex vivo (EC50 = 0.8 μM). TRAP-6 (0.3 and 0.6 mg kg) has a triphasic effect on mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) in anesthetized rats with a short decrease, an increase, and then a longer decrease in MAP following intravenous administration.
Chlorthalidone impurity G is a potential impurity found in commercial preparations of chlorthalidone that has moderate antihypertensive effects. Chlorthalidone is a thiazide-like diuretic that inhibits the Na+/Cl- cotransporter in the distal convoluted tubule of the kidney, which prevents reabsorption of sodium and chloride leading to a reduction in plasma volume and cardiac output. It also inhibits carbonic anhydrase (CA), including the isoforms CAVB, VII, IX, XII, and XIII (Kis = 2.8-23 nM) and, to a lesser extent, CAI, CAII, IV, VA, and VI (Kis = 138-1,347 nM), which may mediate its sustained vasodilatory activity. Dietary administration of chlorthalidone (8 mg per animal per day) reduces arterial hypertension and prevents or reduces ventricular hypertrophy induced by deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA) in salt-hypertensive rats. Formulations containing chlorthalidone have been used alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents to lower arterial blood pressure and as adjuvants to address edema caused by cardiac or renal disorders.
Arecaidine propargyl ester is an agonist of M2muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs).1It selectively binds to M2over M1, M3, M4, and M5mAChRs in CHO cells expressing the human receptors (Kis = 0.0871, 1.23, 0.851, 0.977, and 0.933 μM, respectively). Arecaidine propargyl ester induces contractions in isolated guinea pig atrium (pD2= 8.67). It induces apoptosis and the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in U87 and U251 glioblastoma cells when used at a concentration of 100 μM.2Arecaidine propargyl ester decreases mean arterial blood pressure in normotensive cats (ED25= 1.9 nmol kg).3It is toxic to house flies (Musca) when administered at a dose of 75 μg fly.4 1.Scapecchi, S., Matucci, R., Bellucci, C., et al.Highly chiral muscarinic ligands: the discovery of (2S,2’R,3’S,5’R)-1-methyl-2-(2-methyl-1,3-oxathiolan-5-yl)pyrrolidine 3-sulfoxide methyl iodide, a potent, functionally selective, M2 partial agonistJ.

Adrenomedullin (13-52) is a truncated form of adrenomedullin (1-52) . It induces nitric oxide-dependent relaxation of and inhibits release of angiotensin II and endothelin-1 from isolated rat aorta. In vivo, adrenomedullin (13-52) decreases mean arterialpressure (MAP) in spontaneously and renal hypertensive rats in a dose-dependent manner. Adrenomedullin (13-52) (10-3,000 ng per animal) reverses increases in lobar arterialpressure induced by U-46619 in a dose-dependent manner in cats but has no effect on basal lobar arterialpressure or systemic arterialpressure. It also potentiates inflammatory edema and neutrophil accumulation in rats.
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) (1-13) is an N-terminal fragment of PTH (1-34) . In vivo, PTH (1-13) (0.003-1 μmol/kg) increases mean arterialpressure (MAP) in anesthetized rats.
Thrombin receptor agonist peptide (TRAP-14) is a 14-amino acid peptide agonist of the α-thrombin receptor. It induces aggregation of washed platelets as well as platelets in citrated and hirudin plasma. TRAP-14 (100 μM) increases the cytosolic calcium concentration in isolated guinea pig pulmonary smooth muscle cells 5-fold over baseline. It increases pulmonary arterialpressure in isolated guinea pig lung when used at a concentration of 1 μM, which is comparable to the effect induced by 10 nM α-thrombin. TRAP-14 also induces contraction of isolated rat aortic rings and increases endothelin-1 (ET-1) levels in a dose-dependent manner, an effect that is reversed by the ETA antagonist BQ-123 and the nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor L-NNA .
Ciprokiren is a renin inhibitor discovered by Roche. Ciprokinen inhibited human renin in a buffer and human plasma with an IC50 of 0.07 and 0.65 nmol L, respectively. In animal models, acute and chronic administration of ciprokinen lead to a reduction in arterial blood pressure. Development of ciprokinen was discontinued at a preclinical stage.
Quinapril-d5 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of quinapril by GC- or LC-MS. Quinapril is a prodrug form of the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor quinaprilat. In vivo, quinapril reduces mean arterialpressure in renal hypertensive and spontaneously hypertensive rats. It inhibits angiotensin I-induced pressor responses in normotensive rats and dogs. Quinapril prevents left ventricular heart failure in CHF 14.6 cardiomyopathic hamsters. Formulations containing quinapril have been used in the treatment of hypertension, heart failure, and diabetic nephropathy.
