Abstract
Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) degrades both angiotensin II and bradykinin. Accordingly, we hypothesize that ACE inhibitors can serve as models to design antagonists for the bradykinin receptor. The potent ACE inhibitor Quinapril was modified to serve as a spacer separating two lipophilic positive charges required for bradykinin binding. The synthesis and bradykinin receptor activity of a series of antagonists 2-10 based on this hypothesis is described in this report.
