.sup.3 H-Bradykinin Receptor Binding

(i) Test Method

(a) Crude Ileum Membrane Preparation

Male Hartly strain guinea pigs were sacrificed by decapitation. The ileum was removed and homogenized in buffer (50 mM trimethylaminoethanesulfonic acid (TES), 1 mM 1,10-phenanthroline pH 6.8). The homogenate was centrifuged (1000.times.g, 20 minutes) to remove tissue clumps and the supernatant was centrifuges (100,000.times.g, 60 minutes) to yield a pellet. The pellet was resuspended in buffer (50 mM TES, 1 mM 1,10-phenanthroline, 140 mg/l bacitracin, 1 mM dithiothreiol, 0.1% bovine serum albumin pH 6.8) and homogenized with a glass-teflon homogenizer to yield suspension which was referred to as crude membrane suspension. The obtained membrane suspension was stored at -80.degree. C. until use.

(b) .sup.3 H-Bradykinin Binding to the Membrane

The frozen crude membrane suspension was thawed. In binding assays, .sup.3 H-Bradykinin (0.06 nM) and drug (1.times.10.sup.-5 M) were incubated with 50 .mu.l of the membrane suspension at room temperature for 60 minutes in a final volume of 250 .mu.l. Separation of receptor-bound from free .sup.3 H-Bradykinin is achieved by immediate filtration under vacuum and washed three times with 5 ml of ice-cold buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5). Non-specific binding was defined as binding in the presence of 0.1 .mu.M Bradykinin. The radioactivity retained on rinsed filters was determined by a liquid-scintillation counter.

To a suspension of 3-bromo-8-�2,6-dichloro-3-�N-methyl-N-�N'-(3-nitrophenyl)ureidoacetyl!amino!benzyloxy!-2-methylimidazo�1,2-a!pyridine (800 mg) in ethanol (8 ml) was added tin(II) chloride (954 mg) at ambient temperature. The mixture was refluxed for 1.5 hours. After cooling, the mixture was adjusted to pH 10 with 1N sodium hydroxide solution. To this mixture was added dichloromethane (10 ml) and the precipitate was removed by filtration. The filtrate was extracted with dichloromethane twice. The organic layer was washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate, water and brine. After dried over magnesium sulfate, the solvent was removed in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography eluting with dichloromethane-methanol to give 8-�3-�N-�N'-(3-aminophenyl)ureidoacetyl!-N-methylamino!-2,6-dichlorobenzyloxy!-3-bromo-2-methylimidazo�1,2-a!pyridine (539 mg) as amorphous.
