title: Pharmacological properties of the new non-sulfhydryl angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor N-[8-amino-1(S)-carboxyoctyl]-L-alanyl-L-proline.
abstract: AB-47 (N-[8-amino-1(S)-carboxyoctyl]-L-alanyl-L-proline) is a non-sulfhydryl angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor with omega-aminoalkyl group. AB-47 was slightly more potent than enalaprilat in inhibiting rabbit lung ACE. The ACE inhibition and bradykinin (BK) potentiation by AB-47 in guinea-pig ileal longitudinal muscle were as potent as with enalaprilat. In conscious rat, AB-47 (i.v.) inhibited angiotensin I (A-I)-induced pressor response and augmented BK-induced depressor response more potently and in a long-lasting manner than enalaprilat. Furthermore, AB-47 exhibited higher selectivity for ACE inhibition than for BK inactivation and higher selectivity than enalaprilat and captopril. The inhibition of A-I-induced pressor response by AB-47 (p.o.) was as potent as that of enalapril. These results suggest that AB-47 is a highly potent, long-lasting and relatively A-I-selective ACE inhibitor.
