Hypertensives Flashcards
ACE is what kind of peptidase?
Non selective
Where does ACE cleave?
On the last two amino acids from many peptides
Where does ACE not cleave?
On peptide in which the second last amino acid is PROLINE
How many amino acid does angiotensin 1 have?
10 amino acids
How many amino acids does Angiotensin 2 have?
8 amino acids, the second last amino acid is proline
what is the name of the snake where the scientists got the venom from?
Bothrops Jararaca
What does the venom do.?
Decrease BP, Can cause death
It inhibits ACE
What is the name of the peptide isolated from the venom?
Teprotide
Why is teprotide not good?
Because it is not orally active
Second amino acid is proline
How is ACE and carboxypeptidase similar?
They both need Zn2+ for activity, both are peptides
What is the inhibitor of carboxypeptidase A?
D-2-benzylsuccinic acid
How to make D-2-methylsuccinic proline
from D-2-benzylsuccinic acid?
Add proline group to make ACE recognise it
👉 succinyl-proline
increase the chain length by adding a methyl like the dipeptides
👉 D-2-methylsuccinic proline
How to make captopril
add THIOL GROUP to D-2-methyl succinic proline
Change COOH to -SH which can act as Zn2+ ligand,
Interacting with positive
CAPTOPRIL SARs
Methyl : increased potency 20x
Thiol: increase potency x1000
Any possible modification to captopril
Addition of S in 5-ring 👉 thioproline
Addition of benzene to the 5-ring (benzofusion) 👉 increase potency 3-7x
When can captopril be inactive?
When benzene ring is added too close to the COOH
👉 steric hindrance
Some limitation of captopril caused by SH (thiol)
Rash, change/loss of taste
What is the ACEI without the thiol group
Enalapril
How to make enalaprilat from D-2-methylsuccinyl pro?
Add amine (NH) to make it more like a peptide Add silicon/ benzene to make it more lipophilic
Is enalaprilat a good ACEI?
No, it is very polar due to too many charges (too much ionisation by 2 x COOH and NH)
👉👉add an ester to the top COOH. And make it enalapril (prodrug)
Enalapril and enalaprilat ionisation difference
Enalapril - pKa (NH) ~5.5
Less ionised at physiological pH, non polar, orally active
Enalaprilat - pKa (NH) ~7.6
More ionised, very polar, orally inactive
Enalapril SARS
S1- amine ring and COOH (needed for activity)
S2 - methyl group
S3 - benzene ring
When does enalapril lose activity?
S1 When proline is removed When COOH is converted to amide S3 When branching on a-carbon (2 carbons away from benzene) When addition of acidic side chain S2 When any carbon branching (steric hindrance) When addition of acidic side chain
How to make indolapril?
From enalapril, on s1, add 6-ring onto the amine ring (retained activity)
