Renin

Renin is a monospecific enzyme that catalyzes the rate-limiting step in the synthesis of angiotensin II. Amplified enzymatic activity and additional physiological effects occur when renin and pro-renin bind to the (pro)renin receptor. The classical site of renin expression and secretion is the renal juxtaglomerular cell, where its expression is tightly regulated by physiological cues.

Prorenin and renin bound to the (pro)renin receptor not only increase the catalytic conversion of angiotensinogen to angiotensin I (Ang I), but also upregulate the expression of profibrotic genes. Renin plays a critical role in the regulation of blood pressure, electrolyte homeostasis, mammalian renal development, and progression of fibrotic/hypertrophic diseases. Renin inhibitors represent an alternative to angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) for the treatment of hypertension.

    PD-134672
    Inhibitor
    PD-134672 (CI-992) is a renin inhibitor containing a 2-amino-4-thiazolyl substituent. PD-134672 potently inhibits monkey renin in vitro and only weakly inhibits the related aspartic protease bovine feline hepsin D. The compound exhibits oral hypotensive activity in hyperreninemic normotensive monkeys. Based on its superior efficacy and long-lasting effects in vitro and in the normotensive macaque model, PD-134672 was selected for further evaluation in renal hypertensive monkeys.
