DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to novel antagonists of endothelin useful as pharmaceutical agents, to methods for their production, to pharmaceutical compositions which include these compounds and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, and to pharmaceutical methods of treatment. More particularly, the compounds of the present invention are antagonists of endothelin useful in treating elevated levels of endothelin, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), angina, arrhythmias, asthma, atherosclerosis, benign prostatic hyperplasia, Buerger's Disease, cardiac arrest, cardiogenic shock, cerebral trauma, Chrohn's Disease, cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, congenital heart disease, congestive heart failure (CHF) (mild), congestive heart failure (CHF) (severe), cerebral ischemia, cerebral infarction, cerebral vasospasm, cirrhosis, diabetes, dilated cardiomyopathy, drowning (anoxia), endotoxic shock, gastric mucosal damage, glaucoma, head injury, hemodialysis, hemorrhagic shock, hypertension (essential), hypertension (malignant), hypertension (pulmonary), hypertension (pulmonary, after bypass), hypoglycemia, inflammatory arthritides, ischemic bowel disease, ischemic disease, male penile erectile dysfunction, malignant hemangioendothelioma, myocardial infarction, myocardial ischemia, prenatal asphyxia, postoperative cardiac surgery, prostate cancer, preeclampsia, Raynaud's Phenomenon, renal failure (acute), renal failure (chronic), renal ischemia, restenosis, sepsis syndrome, subarachnoid hemorrhage (acute), surgical operations, status epilepticus, stroke (thromboembolic), stroke (hemorrhagic), Takayasu's arteritis, ulcerative colitis, uremia after hemodialysis, and uremia before hemodialysis.
Endothelin-1 (ET-1), a potent vasoconstrictor, is a 21 amino acid bicyclic peptide that was first isolated from cultured porcine aortic endothelial cells. Endothelin-1, is one of a family of structurally similar bicyclic peptides which include: ET-2, ET-3, vasoactive intestinal contractor (VIC), and the sarafotoxins (SRTXs).
The distribution of the two cloned receptor subtypes, termed ET.sub.A and ET.sub.B, have been studied extensively (Arai H., et al., Nature, 1990;348:730, Sakurai T., et al., Nature, 1990;348:732). The ET.sub.A, or vascular smooth muscle receptor, is widely distributed in cardiovascular tissues and in certain regions of the brain (Lin H. Y., et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., 1991;88:3185). The ET.sub.B receptor, originally cloned from rat lung, has been found in rat cerebellum and in endothelial cells. The human ET receptor subtypes have been cloned and expressed (Sakamoto A., et al., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Chem., 1991;178:656, Hosoda K., et al., FEBS Lett., 1991;287:23). The ET.sub.A receptor clearly mediates vasoconstriction and there have been a few reports implicating the ET.sub.B receptor in the initial vasodilatory response to ET (Takayanagi R., et al., FEBS Lett., 1991;282:103). However, recent data has shown that the ET.sub.B receptor can also mediate vasoconstriction in some tissue beds (Panek R. L., et al., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun., 1992;183(2):566).
The involvement of endothelin has been proven in many human disease states.
Elevated levels of endothelin have been measured in patients suffering from ischemic heart disease (Yasuda M., et al., Amer. Heart J., 1990;119:801-806) and either stable or unstable angina (Stewart J. T., et al., Br. Heart J., 1991;66:7-9).
The degree of elevation of plasma ET levels in patients with heart failure varies from 2-fold to 5-fold (Stewart, et al., Circulation, 1992;85:510-517; Lerman, et al., J. Am. Coll. Cardiology, 1992;20:849-853). The greatest elevation measured appears to be in congestive heart failure (CHF) patients with marked pulmonary hypertension. The increased level of circulating ET in human congestive heart failure patients also correlated with the severity of the disease observed (Rodeheffer, et al., Am. J. Hypertension, 1991:4:9A; Rodeheffer, et al., Mayo Clin. Prod., 1992;6
