    Abstract:
    The pharmacological properties of 2-butyl-4-(methylthio)-1-[[2'-[[[(propylamino)carbonyl] amino]sulfonyl](1,1'-biphenyl)-4-yl]methyl]-1H-imidazole-5-carboxylate (HR720), a novel non-peptide angiotensin (Ang) II type I (AT1) receptor antagonist, were characterized in both in vitro and in vivo systems. In vitro autoradiography using 125I-[Sar1,Ile8]Ang II as a ligand revealed that HR720 competitively inhibited the specific binding of the ligand to the adrenal cortex. The IC50 value for the adrenal cortex was 1.5 x 10(-8) M, and the IC50 for medulla was 1.4 x 10(-6) M. Similar results were obtained in the adrenal cortex with CV-11974, a known potent AT1-receptor antagonist. Since AT1 receptors are known to predominate in the adrenal cortex and AT2-receptors in the adrenal medulla, it is considered that HR720 is highly selective for AT1 receptors. HR720 inhibited the Ang II-induced contraction of isolated rabbit aortic strips and human gastroepiploic arteries in a noncompetitive manner, pD'2=9.40 and 9.62 for rabbit aorta and human artery, respectively. With CV-11974, pD'2 values of 9.84 in isolated rabbit aorta and 10.00 in human artery were obtained. HR720 did not affect the norepinephrine-, serotonin- or KCl-induced contraction even at a concentration of 1 x 10(-5) M. In anesthetized hamsters, HR720 induced a dose-dependent inhibition of the pressure response to Ang II. The potency of HR720 to antagonize the Ang II-induced pressure response was similar to that of CV-11974. These results demonstrate that HR720 is a potent and selective AT1-receptor antagonist.
