Acute inhibition of endothelin converting enzyme (ECE) and neutral endopeptidase (NEP) exerts beneficial hemodynamic effects in chronic heart failure (CHF). However, the long-term effects of dual ECE-NEP inhibition are unknown. We evaluated, in rats with CHF, the long-term effects of the dual ECE-NEP inhibitor CGS 26303 (10 mg.kg(-1).day(-1)) on systemic and left ventricular (LV) hemodynamics and LV remodeling, and compared them to those induced by the selective NEP inhibitor CGS 24592 (10 mg.kg(-1).day(-1)), both administered subcutaneously by mini-pump for 30 days starting 7 days after left coronary artery ligation. After 30 days, CGS 26303, but not CGS 24592, reduced systolic blood pressure, while both drugs never affected heart rate. Echocardiographic studies showed that only CGS 26303 diminished LV end-diastolic and systolic diameters and increased LV fractional shortening and cardiac output. Moreover, CGS 26303, but not CGS 24592, reduced LV end-diastolic pressure, while LV dP/dtmax/min was not affected. Both drugs reduced collagen accumulation in the 'viable' part of the LV, but only CGS 26303 reduced LV weight. Thus, long-term treatment with CGS 26303 decreases both preload and afterload, increases cardiac output, and diminishes LV hypertrophy, dilatation, and cardiac fibrosis, suggesting that dual ECE-NEP inhibition might be beneficial in human CHF.

Background: Matrix metalloproteinase (MMPs) and endothelin-1 may prove to be important in the generation of pain induced by inflammation and nerve lesion. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between endothelin receptors and MMPs.

Methods: Male Sprague-Dawley rats (250-300 g) were divided into 5 groups: a normal (control) group; an L5 spinal nerve ligation (SNL) group; a CGS-26303 IT + L5 SNL group; a BQ-123 IT + L5 SNL group; and a BQ-788 IT + L5 SNL group. Read More

Background And Purpose: The vasoconstrictor endothelin-1 (ET-1) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of cerebral vasospasm following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Previous results showed that CGS 26303, an endothelin converting enzyme (ECE) inhibitor, effectively prevented and reversed arterial narrowing in animal models of SAH. In the present study, we assessed the effect of CGS 26303 on neurological deficits in SAH rats. Read More

Background And Purpose: CGS-26303 inhibits endothelin converting enzyme (ECE)-1 more specifically than phosphoramidon. We have studied the effect of CGS-26303 on ECE-1 expression in bovine aortic endothelial cells.

Methods: ECE-1 activity and big endothelin (ET)-1 levels were measured by ELISA, ECE-1 expression using western and northern blot and promoter activity using transfection assays. Read More

Object: Adhesion molecules, including intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), and E-selectin, are important mediators of inflammation, and their levels are elevated in the serum of patients following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The investigators previously found that CGS 26303 is effective in preventing and reversing arterial narrowing in a rabbit model of SAH. The purpose of the present study was to examine whether levels of adhesion molecules are altered after treatment with CGS 26303 in this animal model. Read More

Endothelin-1 (ET-1) has been implicated in many neurological diseases, including subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and cerebral ischemia. ET-1 is also proved to deteriorate the ischemia-reperfusion injury in many organs. Our previous studies demonstrated that the endothelin-converting enzyme (ECE) inhibitor, CGS 26303, possessed beneficial effects for the treatment of SAH and transient middle cerebral artery occlusion.
