Definitions
- Chronic progressive renal failure can be caused by different underlying diseases and is characterized by a deterioration of kidney function starting from a mild form followed by moderate and severe forms and progressing to the so-called end stage renal disease (ESRD). These stages can be identified in a conventional way e.g. by determining the creatinine clearance values for which well-defined ranges are assigned to the different stages of renal insufficiency. Patients with ESRD have to undergo drastic therapeutic treatments, including, haemodialysis, continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis, and kidney transplantation. Chronic renal failure is a medical condition which affects a significant proportion of the population and its incidence is increasing.

- CGS 30,440 demonstrating both angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition and neutral endopeptidase (NEP) inhibitory properties was studied in a remnant kidney model in normotensive, Sprague-Dawley rats. This is a model of chronic renal failure induced by ligation (and subsequent infarction) of 2-3 branches of the left renal artery and removal of the right kidney resulting in one- sixth of functional renal mass.
- the pathophysiological consequences of this procedure are severe hypertension, extensive proteinuria, marked reductions in glomerular filtration rate (as indicated by reduced creatinine clearances), natriuresis, kaliuresis and striking renal histological abnormalities (glomerular and tubular).
- CGS 30,440 is compared to CGS 24,592, an NEP inhibitor, which elevates endogenous levels of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and to benazepril hydrochloride, an ACE inhibitor.
- Drug administrations using propylene glycol as the vehicle) are by the subcutaneous route via Alzet osmotic minipumps (ALZA Corp., Palo Alto, CA). Drug is given at one week following surgery and continued for 6 weeks following renal artery ablation.
- Systolic blood pressure is elevated similar to non-treated rats as are the fractional excretions of Na ⁇ K + and Cl ' . Histologically, similar degrees of glomerular and tubular damage are observed in both the vehicle and CGS 24,592-treated rats.
- CGS 30,440 when compared to benazepril HCI (both at 6.5 ⁇ mole/kg/day, about 3.0 mg/kg/day), a dose that in normotensive non-ablated animals reduces systolic blood pressures to a similar extent by either drug, demonstrates efficacy superior to benazepril and vehicle-treated group in preserving renal function and maintaining normal renal architecture. Systolic blood pressures are reduced to the greatest extent with CGS 30,440 treatment.
- CGS 30,440 significantly (p ⁇ 0.05) reduces proteinurea, improves creatinine clearance (GFR), and normalizes electrolyte fractional excretions.
- CGS 30,440 and benazepril hydrochloride moderately attenuate the extent of glomerular and vascular lesions. However, only CGS 30,440 significantly reduces the extent of proteinaceous casts and the severity of tubular dilation.
- CGS 30,440 In a followup study assessing the efficacy of CGS 30,440 over benazepril hydrochloride over 6 weeks of treatment at a dose of 2.2 ⁇ mole/kg/day (equivalent to 1.0 mg/kg/day) greatly enhanced efficacy is observed for CGS 30,440.
- Benazepril hydrochloride is ineffectual at this dose in regard to reducing systolic blood pressure and reducing renal pathophysiology.
- CGS 30,440 significantly reduces blood pressure and increases creatinine clearance compared to vehicle and benazepril HCI-treated rats. Proteinuria and the fractional excretion of electrolytes are also reduced (p ⁇ 0.05) by CGS 30,440.
