Bradykinin Receptor Inhibitor

Mergetpa is a reversible Arg-carboxypeptidase inhibitor with high affinity. Mergetpa reduces B1R. Mergetpa blocks the overexpression of IL-1β protein and mRNA in glucose-fed rats. Mergetpa significantly increases the expression of IL-1β protein in the renal cortex. Mergetpa is used to block the conversion of kinins and B2 receptor antagonists into metabolites lacking the C-terminal arginine. Mergetpa inhibits the time-dependent enhancement of the response of isolated rabbit aorta to bradykinin. Mergetpa preserves the chemotactic activity of full-length SDF-1α on cells. Mergetpa reverses hyperglycemia, excessive weight gain, elevated levels of oxidative stress markers and overexpression of inflammatory markers in glucose-fed rats.

Des-Arg9-[Leu8]-Bradykinin acetate is potent bradykinin receptor 1 (B1R) antagonist. Des-Arg9-[Leu8]-Bradykinin acetate can be used for renal fibrosis research.

Emorfazone (Pentoil) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug with oral activity. Emorfazone can significantly inhibit the release of bradykinin-like substances and kininogen. Emorfazone has anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity.
