Description
Hoe 140 (D-Arg-[Hyp3, Thi5, D-Tic7, Oic8]-bradykinin), on bradykinin- and platelet-activating factor (PAF)-induced bronchoconstriction and airway microvascular leakage in anesthetized guinea pigs. Hoe 140 is highly potent and long-acting in inhibiting BK-induced hypotensive responses in the rat. Four hours after s.c. administration of 20nmol kg-1, inhibition still amounted to 60% whereas the effect of 200nmol kg-1 of d-Arg-[Hyp2, Thi5,8, d-Phe7]BK was not significant[1-2].
Uses
Antagonist (bradykinin).
Definition
ChEBI: A ten-membered synthetic oligopeptide consisting of D-Arg, Arg, Pro, Hyp, Gly, Thi, Ser, D-Tic, Oic, and Arg residues joined in sequrence. A bradykinin receptor antagonist used as its acetate salt for the treatment of acut
attacks of hereditary angioedema in adult patients.
Brand name
Metastat (CollaGenex).
Biological Activity
A potent and selective bradykinin B2 antagonist. HOE-140 is a useful tool for discrimination of the physiological roles of bradykinin B2 versus B1 receptors. Displays a protective effect in myocardial reperfusion injury.
