The present study describes the pharmacological profile of
((E)-alpha-[[1-butyl-5-[2-[(2-carboxyphenyl)methoxy]-4-methoxy-phenyl]-1H-pyrazol-4-yl]methlene]-6-methoxy-1,3-benzodioxole-5-propanoic acid) (SB 234551), a high-affinity, nonpeptide endothelin type A
(ETA)-selective receptor antagonist. In human cloned
ETA and endothelin type B (ETB) receptors, SB
234551 produced a concentration-dependent displacement of
[125I]-endothelin-1 with Ki values
of 0.13 and 500 nM, respectively. SB 234551 elicited
concentration-dependent, rightward competitive shifts in the
endothelin-1 concentration-response curves in isolated rat aorta and
isolated human pulmonary artery (ETA receptor-mediated vascular contraction) with Kb values of 1.9 and
1.0 nM, respectively. SB 234551 antagonized ETB
receptor-mediated vasoconstriction in the isolated rabbit pulmonary
artery, as demonstrated by concentration-dependent, rightward shifts in
the sarafotoxin S6c concentration-response curves
(Kb = 555 nM). SB 234551 produced weak
functional inhibition of sarafotoxin S6c-mediated endothelium-dependent
relaxation (IC50 = 7 µM). SB 234551 (10 µM) had no
significant effect against contraction produced by several other
vasoactive agents and did not significantly influence radioligand
binding to a number of diverse receptors. SB 234551 (0.1-1.0 mg/kg
i.v.) dose-dependently inhibited the pressor response to exogenous
endothelin-1 in conscious rats. In vivo pharmacokinetic
analysis in the rat demonstrated that SB 234551 was rapidly absorbed
from the GI tract with a bioavailability of 30%. SB 234551 had a
plasma half-life of 125 min and a systemic clearance of 25.0 ml/min/kg.
The present study demonstrates that SB 234551 is an antagonist with
high affinity for the ETA receptor, while sparing the
ETB receptor. SB 234551 is a new pharmacological tool that
should assist in the elucidation of the role of endothelin in
pathophysiology.
