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.
