    Abstract:
    SC-54628 [1-(2-methylphenyl)-4-butyl-1,3-dihydro-3-[[6-[2-(1H- tetrazol-5-yl)phenyl]-3-pyridinyl]methyl]-2H-imidazol-2-one] and its 1-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-2H-imidazol-2-one derivative SC-54629 were potent inhibitors of 125I-angiotensin II (125I-AII) binding to rat adrenal cortex angiotensin type 1 (AT1) receptors. SC-54628 and SC-54629 antagonized AII-induced contraction of rabbit vascular smooth muscle in a surmountable fashion and an insurmountable fashion, respectively. Binding experiments with SC-54629 were undertaken to determine the nature of receptor interaction, which might explain the insurmountable mode of antagonism of SC-54629. The presence of a high concentration of SC-54629 did not affect the dissociation of membrane-bound 125I-AII induced by an excess of unlabeled AII, indicating that the antagonist binds to the agonist binding site and not an allosteric domain. Incubation of adrenal cortex membranes with SC-54629 decreased the density of 125I-AII binding sites. When incubation of the SC-54629-treated membranes with radiolabeled AII was prolonged, the SC-54629-induced decrease in AT1 receptor density was attenuated, suggesting that binding of the antagonist is slowly reversible. Furthermore, the dissociation of [3H]SC-54629 was 5-fold slower than that of 125I-AII bound to AT1 receptors. These results suggest that the insurmountable antagonism of AII by SC-54629 is most likely due to the slow reversibility of SC-54629 binding to the AT1 receptor.
