Abstract

A designed library of tripeptidomimics of Ornithyl-Proline (Orn-Pro) and Lysyl-Proline (Lys-Pro) conjugated with various unnatural amino acids and carboxylic acid derived heterocyclics was synthesized and screened for possible inhibitors of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). Among the tripeptidomimics 10[MTP-Orn-Pro], 11[HTP-Orn-Pro], 14[TA-Orn-Pro] and 20[BPA-Orn-Pro] showed prominent inhibition with IC50 values in micromolar concentrations. Structure-activity relationship study indicated that C3 side chain of Orn as compared to C4 side chain of Lys at P1' position was better suited to inhibit ACE, with propionic acid (C3) derived heterocyclics and unnatural amino acids.

Rapid quantification of lisinopril in human plasma by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry.

An assay based on protein precipitation and liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) has been developed and validated for the quantitative analysis of lisinopril in human plasma. After the addition of enalaprilat as internal standard (IS), plasma samples were prepared by one-step protein precipitation using perchloric acid followed by an isocratic elution with 10 mm ammonium acetate buffer (pH adjusted to 5.0 with acetic acid)-methanol (70:30, v/v) on a Phenomenex Luna 5 mu C(18) (2) column. Detection was performed on a triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer utilizing an electrospray ionization (ESI) interface operating in positive ion and selected reaction monitoring (SRM) mode with the precursor to product ion transitions m/z 406 --> 246 for lisinopril and m/z 349 --> 206 for enalaprilat. Calibration curves of lisinopril in human plasma were linear (r = 0.9973-0.9998) over the concentration range 2-200 ng/mL with acceptable accuracy and precision. The limit of detection and lower limit of quantification in human plasma were 1 and 2 ng/mL, respectively. The validated LC-MS/MS method has been successfully applied to a preliminary pharmacokinetic study of lisinopril in Chinese healthy male volunteers.

Renin-induced hypertension in Wilms tumor patients.

BACKGROUND: Since the report that hypertension associated with Wilms tumor (WT) may be renin-induced, no larger series than 13 patients have been published. Nevertheless, angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors have become treatment of choice for hypertension in WT patients. The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between plasma renin levels and blood pressure in a larger cohort of WT patients. PROCEDURE: In this retrospective, single-center study, data on blood pressure and plasma renin were analyzed in 86 WT patients treated according to the consecutive SIOP protocols 6, 9, 93-01, and 2001. RESULTS: At diagnosis, 47 WT patients suffered from hypertension (55%). In 31 of these patients plasma renin levels were analyzed; increased plasma renin levels were found in 25/31 patients (81%). In contrast, normal plasma renin levels were measured in 8/13 of the patients with a normal blood pressure (P = 0.012). Twenty-eight children received antihypertensive treatment before surgery, in 25 of them blood pressure normalized before surgery. Blood pressure was normal directly after surgery in all patients but 4, in whom blood pressure recovered to normal within a few weeks. CONCLUSIONS: This retrospective study shows that hypertension in WT patients is associated with elevated plasma renin levels, indicating that ACE inhibitors may be a good therapeutic option in at least a subset of WT patients with hypertension before nephrectomy.
