Candidate ID: | R0326 |
Source ID: | DB00886 |
Source Type: | investigational |
Compound Type: | small molecule |
Compound Name: | Omapatrilat |
Synonyms: | Omapatrilat; Omapatrilate |
Molecular Formula: | C19H24N2O4S2 |
SMILES: | [H][C@]12CCC[C@H](N1C(=O)[C@H](CCS2)NC(=O)[C@@H](S)CC1=CC=CC=C1)C(O)=O |
Structure: |
|
DrugBank Description: | Omapatrilat is an investigational drug that inhibits both neutral endopeptidase (NEP) and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE). The inhibition of NEP elevates natriuretic peptide levels, increasing excretion of sodium in urine, dilating blood vessels, and reducing preload and ventricular remodeling. This drug from BMS was not approved by the FDA due to angioedema safety concerns. |
CAS Number: | 167305-00-2 |
Molecular Weight: | 408.53 |
DrugBank Indication: | For the treatment of hypertension. |
DrugBank Pharmacology: | Omapatrilat is used to treat hypertension. Vasopeptidase inhibitor that simultaneously inhibits angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and neutral endopeptidase (NEP). Omapatrilat lowers blood pressure by inhibiting the action of the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE), which causes blood vessels to constrict. But unlike other drugs, omapatrilat also inhibits another enzyme known as neutral endopeptidase (NEP), which helps blood vessels relax. Omapatrilat demonstrated greater reduction in blood pressure than the ACE inhibitor lisinopril in individuals with salt-sensitive hypertension who typically do not respond well to ACE inhibitors. |
DrugBank MoA: | Omapatrilat binds to both angiotensin converting enzyme and neutral endopeptidase. This results in a decrease renin-angiotensin-aldosterone production and increase natriuretic peptidase circulation. |
Targets: | Angiotensin-converting enzyme; Neprilysin |
Inclusion Criteria: | Indication associated |
