The trypsin inhibitor of bovine colostrum was isolated by affinity chromatography, and impurities removed by trichloroacetic acid precipitation. The inhibitor showed electrophoretic microheterogeneity which was not due to sialic acid content. It inhibited bovine and rat trypsin, showed weak inhibition of bovine chymotrypsin and was inactive against rat chymotrypsin and bovine renin, kallikrein, thrombin and trypsinogen. The dynamics of secretion of the inhibitor in the first 8 milkings post-partum were very similar to those of colostral immunoglobulins.

In this paper, we present the amino-terminal sequence of rat tonin, an endopeptidase responsible for the conversion of angiotensinogen, the tetradecapeptide renin substrate, or angiotensin I to angiotensin II. It is shown that isoleucine and proline occupy the amino- and carboxy-terminal residues respectively. The N-terminal sequence analysis permitted the identification of 34 out of the first 40 residues of the single polypeptide chain composed of 272 amino acids. These results showed an extensive homology with the sequence of many serine proteases of the trypsin-chymotrypsin family. This information, coupled with the slow inhibition of tonin by diisopropylfluorophosphate, classified this enzyme as a selective endopeptidase of the active serine protease family.

A series of renin inhibitors containing new P1-P1' dipeptide mimetics are presented. The P1-P1' mimetics were obtained from (4S,5S)-3-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-4-(cyclohexylmethyl)-5-[(omega- mesyloxy)alkyl]-2,2-dimethyloxazolidines 5b, 9, and 11b by nucleophilic substitution of the mesylate groups with the sodium salts of mercapto- and hydroxyheterocycles. Removal of the protecting groups and stepwise acylations with amino acid derivatives provided renin inhibitors with a length of a tripeptide. Replacement of P2 histidine by other amino acids maintained or enhanced renin inhibitory potency. By alteration of P3 phenylalanine, compounds with IC50 values in the nanomolar range and stability against chymotrypsin were obtained. Finally, the effect of the C-terminal heterocycle on the renin inhibition was studied. Compound XVII was examined in vivo for its hypotensive effects. In salt-depleted cynomolgus monkeys, XVII inhibited plasma renin activity and lowered blood pressure after oral administration of a dose of 10 mg/kg.

Modified heterocyclic phenylalanine analogues designed as replacements for the P3-P4 region were synthesized and incorporated into renin inhibitors. These inhibitors were found to have significant activity versus human recombinant renin, as well as in vivo activity. The compounds proved to be very resistant to chymotrypsin degradation, as exemplified by compound 8, which remained greater than 60% intact after a 24-h exposure to chymotrypsin. In contrast, the Boc-Phe analogue was nearly completely degraded after 1 h. Compound 6 proved to be the most potent renin inhibitor with an IC50 = 8.9 nM. These stable cyclized phenylalanines should prove to be generally useful as a substitute for Boc-Phe in protease inhibitors.

A novel renin inhibitor, YM-21095 [2RS), (3S)-3-[N alpha-[1,4-dioxo-4-morpholino-2-(1-naphthylmethyl)-buthyl]-L- histidil-amino]-4-cyclohexyl-1-[(1-methyl-5-tetrazolyl)thio]-2-but anol), has been synthesized in our laboratories. The aim of this study was to evaluate the pharmacological properties of YM-21095 in in vitro and in vivo experiments. YM-21095 inhibited human renin with an IC50 value of 4.7 x 10(-10) mol/L. YM-21095 was also a potent inhibitor against squirrel monkey renin, but less effective against renins from dog, rabbit, and rat. The effect of YM-21095 is highly specific for renin, since it did not inhibit cathepsin D, pepsin, or angiotensin converting enzyme up to a concentration of 10(-4) mol/L. YM-21095 was resistant to proteolytic actions of the enzymes (pepsin, chymotrypsin, trypsin) and squirrel monkey tissue homogenates (liver, kidney, small intestine). Intravenous infusion of YM-21095 (0.1 to 100 micrograms/kg/min) decreased mean blood pressure and inhibited plasma renin activity in a dose-dependent manner with no effect on heart rate in anesthetized sodium-depleted and sodium-replete squirrel monkeys. The hypotensive effect of YM-21095 in sodium-depleted squirrel monkeys was about ten times as potent as that in sodium-replete squirrel monkeys. Oral administration of YM-21095 to conscious sodium-depleted squirrel monkeys produced dose-related decreases of systolic blood pressure. We conclude that YM-21095 is a potent and highly specific inhibitor of primate renin and produces a blood pressure lowering effect.

Incorporation of beta-alanine or gamma-aminobutyric acid in position P2 of ACHPA or Leu psi [CHOHCH2]Val-based tetrapeptides gave highly active renin inhibitors (compounds V, VI, and XVII) with high specificity for renin and a remarkable stability against chymotrypsin. Replacement of the amide bond between P2 and P3 by isosteres (ketomethylenes, hydroxyethylenes, and the corresponding thio-insertion analogues) led to compounds (VIII-XIII, XVIII, and XIX) with renin inhibitory activity in the nanomolar range. Oral activity was achieved by incorporation of polar functionalities at the N-terminus of beta-alanine-containing tetrapeptides. One of these compounds (XXVIII) was chosen for further studies. This inhibitor demonstrated excellent efficacy and a long duration of action after intravenous and oral administration to cynomolgus monkeys.

A newly synthesized orally active renin inhibitor, N-morpholinoacetyl-(1-naphthyl)-L-alanyl-(4-thiazolyl)-L-alanyl (3S,4S)-4-amino-3-hydroxy-5-cyclohexylpentanoyl-n-hexylamide (ES-8891), was found to be a highly potent competitive inhibitor of human renin with an inhibition constant of 1.1 nM. This inhibitor was also active against monkey renin, although there was less inhibition of renin in pig, rabbit, and rat. ES-8891 did not inhibit cathepsin D, pepsin, trypsin, chymotrypsin, angiotensin converting enzyme, and urinary kallikrein at a concentration of 10(-5) M. A single oral administration of ES-8891 (10 or 30 mg/kg) to conscious, sodium-depleted marmosets caused a dose-related decrease in plasma renin activity and blood pressure. ES-8891 (30 mg/kg) produced an 80% inhibition of plasma renin activity, which lasted for more than 6 hours. Kidney renin messenger RNA was not significantly changed 6 hours after oral administration of ES-8891 (30 mg/kg). A single oral administration of 240 mg ES-8891 to healthy human volunteers (n = 6) produced a significant inhibition of plasma renin activity (75% inhibition at 0.5 and 1 hour, 50% inhibition at 2 hours) with a good correlation of plasma levels of ES-8891. There were no significant changes in blood pressure or heart rate, and no adverse effects were observed. These results suggest that ES-8891 is an orally active human renin inhibitor that may be clinically useful.

1. An in vitro experiment was carried out to compare the inhibitory effect of SQ29,852 on human renal angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) with those of captopril, enalapril and enalaprilat. 2. SQ29,852 strongly inhibited human renal ACE; its IC50 value was 1.5 x 10(-8) M. In terms of the IC50, SQ29,852's efficacy was about 1/10 of that of captopril and 1/28 of that of enalaprilat, but it was about 14 times more potent than enalapril. 3. SQ29,852 showed no inhibitory effects on cathepsin D, urinary kallikrein, renal renin, pepsin, trypsin and chymotrypsin. Its ACE-specificity was higher than that of captopril. 4. ACE inhibition by SQ29,852 was shown to be competitive, as revealed by Lineweaver-Burk plots. The affinity of SQ29,852 to ACE was shown to be high by a Ki value of 1.2 x 10(-8) M.

A compound containing cyclostatine ES-6864 (N-[(2R)-3-morpholinocarbonyl-2-(1-naphthylmethyl)propionyl]-(4-th iazolyl)- L-alanyl-cyclostatine-(2-morpholinoethyl)amide) was found to be a competitive inhibitor of human renin with an inhibitory constant (Ki) value of 7.3 x 10(-9) M. The compound was also potent against monkey renin but was less effective against renins from pig, goat, dog, rabbit and rat. ES-6864 did not inhibit cathepsin D, pepsin, urinary kallikrein, angiotensin converting enzyme, trypsin and chymotrypsin at a concentration of 10(-5) M. ES-6864 also inhibited the tissue renin-like activity from dog tissues with IC50 values of 10(-7)-10(-8) M in vitro. Oral administration of ES-6864 at 30 mg/kg to conscious, sodium-depleted marmosets produced a significant blood pressure reduction and a significant inhibition of plasma renin activity, which persisted for 6 hours. Plasma concentration of ES-6864 reached a maximum of 1.2 micrograms/ml at 1 hour after an oral administration. Oral administration of ES-6864 to hog renin-infused rats produced dose-related decreases in blood pressure. The results demonstrate that ES-6864 is an orally active renin inhibitor with high potency and specificity for human renin. Thus, ES-6864 is a candidate compound for development of renin inhibitors that can be used clinically.

Dipeptide and tripeptide derivatives containing a statine residue were synthesized as inhibitors of human renin. ES-305, bis[(1-naphthyl)methyl]acetyl(BNMA)-histidyl-statine 2(S)-methylbutylamide was found to be a highly potent inhibitor of human renin with a Ki value of 1.7 X 10(-9) M. Dipeptide derivatives with the BNMA group at the N-terminal (BNMA-Val-Sta-isoleucinol [ES-313], BNMA-Leu-Sta-isoleucinol [ES-316], and BNMA-Nle-Sta-isoleucinol [ES-317]) had potencies against human renin that were similar to the potency of ES-305. All these dipeptide derivatives competitively inhibited human renin. The inhibitors were also potent against monkey renin but were less effective against renins from pig, goat, dog, rabbit, and rat. ES-305 had little effect on cathepsin D and pepsin at the concentration of 10(-5) M. The other derivatives showed detectable inhibition of cathepsin D (IC50, 10(-6) - 10(-7) M) and pepsin (10(-5) - 10(-6) M). All the compounds had little or no effect on trypsin, chymotrypsin, angiotensin converting enzyme, and urinary kallikrein at the concentration of 10(-5) M. Our results indicate that ES-305 is a highly potent and specific inhibitor of human renin. This compound is superior to other, previously described statine-containing renin inhibitors with respect to molecular size and enzyme specificity.
