چکیده
WS79089B a highly specific endothelin converting enzyme (ECE) inhibitor has been isolated from the fermentation broth of Streptosporangium roseum No. 79089. WS79089B showed highly selective ECE inhibition activity with IC50 value of 0.14 microM and behaved as a competitive inhibitor of ECE, with Ki values of 8.9 x 10(-8) M. The sodium salt of WS79089B (FR901533) inhibited big endothelin-1 (big ET-1) induced pressor effect in a dose dependent manner when administered to male Sprague-Dawley rats intravenously dosed 2 minutes prior to big ET-1 challenge.

Effects of benazepril, an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, combined with CGS 35066, a selective endothelin-converting enzyme inhibitor, on arterial blood pressure in normotensive and spontaneously hypertensive rats.
Continuous intra-arterial administration of a selective endothelin-converting enzyme (ECE) inhibitor CGS 35066 at a dose of 30 mg/kg decreased the mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) in conscious unrestrained normotensive rats and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs). At that dose, the magnitude of the antihypertensive effects was greater in SHRs than in normotensive rats. Additional administ...
متن کاملNew modalities for treatment of diabetic nephropathy: a mini review
Background and aims: Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the most common cause of end-stage renal failure which could increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and morbidity and mortality in patients. The aim of this study was to investigate new modalities for treatment of diabetic nephropathy. Methods:This study was a mini-review research to investigate drugs that are used for DN treatment. Resul...
متن کاملComplete genome sequence of Streptosporangium roseum type strain (NI 9100T)
Streptosporangium roseum Crauch 1955 is the type strain of the species which is the type species of the genus Streptosporangium. The 'pinkish coiled Streptomyces-like organism with a spore case' was isolated from vegetable garden soil in 1955. Here we describe the features of this organism, together with the complete genome sequence and annotation. This is the first completed genome sequence of...
متن کاملEffects of a specific endothelin-converting enzyme inhibitor on cardiac, renal, and neurohumoral functions in congestive heart failure: comparison of effects with those of endothelin A receptor antagonism.
BACKGROUND--Endothelin (ET)-1 is generated from big ET-1 by endothelin-converting enzyme (ECE). Plasma big ET-1 and ET-1 levels are strongly related to survival in patents with congestive heart failure (CHF). Because selective enzymatic processing of ET-1 formation appears to be an important therapeutic target for CHF, we investigated the acute effects of a specific ECE inhibitor on cardiorenal...
متن کاملMetallopeptidase inhibitors induce an up-regulation of endothelin-converting enzyme levels and its redistribution from the plasma membrane to an intracellular compartment.
Endothelin-converting enzyme is a phosphoramidon-sensitive membrane metallopeptidase that catalyses the final step in biosynthesis of the potent vasoactive endothelin peptides. Immunomagnetic separation technology and immunohistochemistry have been used to demonstrate the co-localisation of endothelin-converting enzyme with the established ectoenzyme, aminopeptidase N, on the surface of endothe...
