The effect of converting enzyme inhibition with SQ20,881 on plasma and urinary kinins, prostaglandin E, and angiotensin II in hypertensive man.

Abstract: SUMMARYThe relationship between levels of angiotensin II, kinins, and prostaglandin E and the depressor response to 1 or 3 mg/kg of the conrerting enzyme inhibitor SQ20.88I was studied in recumbent hypertensive subjects during 109 mEq and 9 mEq/day sodium intake. In 13 sodium-replete patients, SQ20,881 decreased angiotensin II from 46.7 ± 9.2 (mean ± SEM) to 31.7 ± 5.1 pg/ml and plasma aldosterone from 6.8 ± 0.9 to 2.9 ± 0.6 ng/dl (p < 0.003) without compensatory elevations of plasma renin activity and angiote… Show more

“…19 " 23 Our finding of a slight hypotensive effect of high-dose captopril monotherapy in LPH patients is compatible with the antihypertensive effects of captopril other than through antagonism of angiotensin H-medicated vasoconstriction. However, since this therapeutic response was only slight, we conclude that the major therapeutic effect is upon blockade of angiotensin II production.…”

“…In vivo the same agent increased prostaglandin in patients with essential hypertension who were ingesting a moderate sodium intake, but not when ingesting a low sodium intake (27). Unfortunately, even on the higher sodium intake teprotide reduced plasma AII concentration, making it impossible to ascertain the relative influence of changes in AII and prostaglandins in the depressor response.…”
