Peptide compounds, their preparation and uses

This application is a 371 of PCT/JP94/01042, filed Jun. 28, 1994.
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to new compound and a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
More particularly, it relates to new peptide compound and a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof which have pharmacological activities such as endothelin antagonistic activity and the like, to processes for its preparation, to a pharmaceutical composition comprising the same, and to a method of using the same therapeutically in the treatment and the prevention of endothelin mediated diseases such as hypertension, and the like.
Pharmacological and structural evidence supports the existence of at least two endothelin receptor subtypes, i.e., ET.sub.A and ET.sub.B. ET.sub.A receptors are distributed predominantly in vascular smooth muscle, heart and intestine, whereas ET.sub.B receptors are found in cerebral cortex, lung and kidney. Recently, it is found that in addition to ET.sub.A receptors, vasoconstrictor ET.sub.B receptors are also present on vascular smooth muscle. ET.sub.A receptors have a higher affinity to ET-1 than ET-3 and sarafotoxin S6c, while ET.sub.B receptors show nearly the same affinity to all isoforms of ET and sarafotoxin peptides.
The compounds of this invention may have ET.sub.B antagonistic activity.
One object of the present invention is to provide new and useful peptide compound and a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof which have pharmacological activities such as endothelin, particularly ET.sub.B antagonistic activity and the like.
Another object of the present invention is to provide processes for the preparation of said peptide compound and a salt thereof.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a pharmaceutical composition comprising, as an active ingredient, said peptide compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
Still further object of the present invention is to provide a method of using the same for the treatment and the prevention of endothelin, particularly ET.sub.B mediated diseases such as hypertension, and the like.

Nonspecific binding was defined as nondisplaceable binding of 3.2 .mu.MET-1, and specific binding was defined as the difference between total and nonspecific binding. The K.sub.d was determined by Scatchard analysis.
For determination of inhibition curves of test compounds, the membrane suspensions prepared from inner medulla of porcine kidney were incubated with increasing concentrations of test compounds and �.sup.125 I!ET-1 (16 pM). Specific binding represented 85% of total binding with 16 pM �.sup.125 I!ET-1 in porcine kidney. Protein concentration was determined by the dye-binding assay method (Bio-Rad protein assay kit).
