title: Effects of chronic treatment with a novel angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor, CS622, and a vasodilator, hydralazine, on atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR).
abstract: We studied the effects of chronic treatment with a novel angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor, alpha-[(2S,6R)-6-[(1S)-1-ethoxycarbonyl-3-phenylpropyl]amino-5-oxo-2- (2-thienyl)perhydro-1,4-thiazepin-4-yl]acetic acid.HCl (CS622), and a vasodilator, hydralazine, on plasma atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) levels and kidney ANF receptors in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). Plasma ANF level was decreased and cardiac hypertrophy reduced in CS622 treated SHR, but not in hydralazine treated SHR, although blood pressure was lowered similarly in both SHR groups. The binding capacity of kidney ANF receptors increased and the affinity decreased in CS622 treated SHR compared to untreated SHR. These results suggest that decrease of plasma ANF results from decreased cardiac load but not from lowered blood pressure, and that changes in ANF receptors result from increased plasma ANF.
