Design of a functional hexapeptide antagonist of endothelin

Abstract: Communications to the Editor Design of a Functional Hexapeptide Antagonist of Endothelin Endothelin-1 (ET-1, Figure 1), a bicyclic 21-amino acid peptide, is a potent constrictor of vascular smooth muscle.1 2"3 Since the isolation of ET-1 from the supernatant of cultured porcine endothelial aortic cells, human genomic analysis has identified two structurally and functionally related isopeptides (ET-2 and ET-3).4 56Previous structure-activity analyses have shown the importance of the C-terminal L-tryptophan indo… Show more

“…Here, the proarrhythmic role of this subtype was confirmed and a role for the ETB receptor was excluded. Expectedly therefore, the subtype non-selective antagonist PD 142893 [21] showed a similar antiarrhythmic potency as the ETA selective antagonist PD 155080 (Fig. 4).…”

“…The generated curve showed an appropriate sigmoidal shape, and the IC 50 generated from the curve (17.5 nM) showed good correlation to that reported in the literature for this inhibitor. 37,38 These data indicate that CDS responses can be used to conduct pharmacological evaluations of receptor activity. Because this receptor was endogenous to this cell line, these data also indicate that overexpression of receptors by transfection is not necessary using this system.…”

“…These results indicate that the Ca¥ ripples are generated via inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-induced Ca¥ release from the intracellular Ca¥ stores. We then looked for a receptor upstream of phospholipase C. The effect of PD-142893 (10 ìÒ), an endothelin receptor antagonist (Cody et al 1992), was studied because our preparation had an intact endothelium. However, this drug had no effect on Ca¥ ripples (Fig.…”
