Effects of two novel non-peptide antagonists at the rabbit bradykinin B2 receptor
Large species differences have been previously observed in the pharmacology of bradykinin (BK) B2 receptor antagonists. We investigated the effect of two novel non-peptide antagonists, compound 9 (a benzodiazepine peptidomimetic related to icatibant) and the thiosemicarbazide bradyzide on the rabbit...

Zusammenfassung: | Large species differences have been previously observed in the pharmacology of bradykinin (BK) B2 receptor antagonists. We investigated the effect of two novel non-peptide antagonists, compound 9 (a benzodiazepine peptidomimetic related to icatibant) and the thiosemicarbazide bradyzide on the rabbit B2 receptor (contractility of the jugular vein, competition of [3H]BK binding to a B2 receptor-green fluorescent protein (B2R-GFP) conjugate, subcellular distribution of B2R-GFP). While compound 9 is about 9000-fold less potent than icatibant, it shares with the latter peptide drug a selective, insurmountable and largely irreversible antagonist behavior against BK and the capacity to translocate B2R-GFP from the membrane into the cells. Bradyzide, reportedly very potent at rodent B2 receptors, was a competitive and reversible antagonist of moderate potency at the rabbit B2 receptor (contractility pA2 6.84, binding competition IC50 5 nM). The C-terminal region of icatibant, reproduced by compound 9, is likely to be important in the non-equilibrium behavior of icatibant. Bradyzide, a non-peptide antagonist developed on different structural grounds, is competitive at the rabbit B2 receptor. |
