Abstract
We describe the receptor binding and antagonistic properties of two novel nonpeptide antagonists, FR167344 (3-bromo-8-[2,6-dichloro-3-[N-[(E)-4-(N,N-dimethylcarbamoyl)cinnamidoacetyl]-N-methylamino]benzyloxy]-2-methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine hydrochloride) and FR173657 (8-[3-[N-[(E)-3-(6-acetamidopyridin-3-yl)acryloylglycyl]-N-methylamino]-2,6-dichlorobenzyloxy]-2-methylquinoline), for the human bradykinin receptor subtypes (B1 and B2). In competitive experiments using membranes prepared from Chinese hamster ovary cells expressing the bradykinin receptor subtypes, FR167344 and FR173657 showed a high affinity binding to the B2 receptor with IC50 values of 65 and 8.9 nm, respectively, and no binding affinity for the B1 receptor. FR167344 and FR173657 inhibited the B2 receptor-mediated phosphatidylinositol (PI) hydrolysis and produced a concentration-dependent rightward shift in the dose-response curve to bradykinin. This shift was accompanied by a progressive reduction of maximal response. Estimated pA2 values for the antagonism of bradykinin-induced PI hydrolysis by FR167344 and FR173657 were 8.0 and 9.0, respectively. FR167344 and FR173657 showed no stimulatory effects on PI hydrolysis. Therefore, FR167344 and FR173657 are potent, highly selective, and insurmountable antagonists for the human bradykinin B2 receptor.
