The preparation of a series of 1-glutarylindoline-2(S)-carboxylic acid derivatives, 6a-v and 21a-c, is described. The above compounds were tested for inhibition of angiotensin converting enzyme. The structure-activity relationship of the series is also discussed. Compound 6u, the most potent member of the series, had an in vitro IC50 of 4.8 X 10(-9) M. Compound 6v, an ethyl ester of 6u, lowered blood pressure 70 mm in spontaneous hypertensive rats at an oral dose of 30 mg/kg.
The synthesis of N-(3-mercaptopropionyl)-N-arylglycines (14a-x),- N-arylalanines (15a,b),-N-cycloalkylglycines (16a-k), and -1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-3-carboxylic acids (17a-d), -1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline-2-carboxylic acids (18a-f), and -indoline-2-carboxylic acids (19a-k) is described. In vitro inhibition of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) is reported for each compound, and the structure--activity relationship for each series is discussed. The in vivo inhibition of ACE and antihypertensive effects of representative compounds from each series are discussed. The most potent compound, 19d, had an in vitro ACE IC50 of 2.6 X 10(-9) M and lowered blood pressure in spontaneous hypertensive rats 85 mm at a dose of 10 mg/kg po.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
