sch 42495

SCH 42495 is an orally active neutral metalloendopeptidase inhibitor. SCH 42495 is the orally active ethyl ester prodrug of SCH 42354.

SCH 42495 racemate is the racemate of SCH 42495. SCH 42495 is an orally active neutral inhibitor of metalloendopeptidase (NEP), with antihypertensive effect.

(R)-SCH 42495 is the less active enantiomer of SCH 42495. SCH 42495 is an orally active inhibitor of neutral metalloendopeptidase (NEP), with antihypertensive effect.

SCH-42354 is a potent, orally active inhibitor of neutral endopeptidase (NEP), serving as the active form of the prodrug SCH-42495. By inhibiting NEP hydrolysis, SCH-42354 enhances the activity of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and prevents the hydrolysis of leu-enkephalin and ANF with IC50 values of 8.3 nM and 10.0 nM, respectively. Furthermore, SCH-42354 exhibits antihypertensive activity [1] [2].
