PG - 207-13 AB - We investigated the antagonistic properties of saralasin in acute and chronic angiotension II (ANG II)-dependent hypertension. Two models of experimental hypertension were studied: (a) Rats acutely infused i.v. with ANG II to raise the blood pressure (BP) by about 35 mmHg. (b) One-clip, two-kidney renal hypertensive rats. In both experimental models increasing doses of saralasin were infused i.v., and three parameters were evaluated at each dose level: (1) fall of BP, (2) plasma concentration of saralasin, and (3) plasma concentration of ANG II. It was found that saralasin led to a more pronounced fall of BP in malignant than in benign renal hypertension. To reduce BP by about 20 mmHg, saralasin plasma concentrations had to exceed those of ANG II about 2000-fold in renal hypertension and about 7-fold in rats infused with ANG II. It is concluded that saralasin antagonises ANG II more effectively in acute than in chronic hypertension.
