Hypotensive effects of SA446, an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, and effects on the renin-angiotensin system were evaluated in conscious normotensive and 2-kidney, 1-clip renal hypertensive dogs. SA446 (1 mg/kg, p.o.) remarkably inhibited the pressor response to angiotensin (Ang) I between 1 and 6 hr after the administration in normotensive dogs. SA446 significantly decreased blood pressure at 10 mg/kg, p.o., in normotensive dogs. During repeated administration of SA446 (100 mg/kg/day, p.o.) for 13 weeks, the blood pressure was lowered, and the pressor response to Ang I and plasma ACE activity were strongly inhibited. ACE activities in the aorta and kidney were also inhibited. Plasma renin activity and plasma Ang I concentration increased by repeated SA446 application, while plasma aldosterone concentration decreased. The hypotensive effect of SA446 (5 mg/kg, p.o.) was more potent in 2-kidney, 1 -clip renal hypertensive dogs than in normotensive dogs. SA446 had longer inhibitory effects on the pressor response to Ang I and more potent hypotensive effects than captopril. The hypotension caused by SA446 appears to be associated mainly with an inhibition of ACE in plasma and also in the vascular wall.
