SCH 34826: an overview of its profile as a neutral endopeptidase inhibitor and ANF potentiator.

Abstract

Our studies with the prototypical NEP inhibitor SCH 34826 indicate the potential role of this class of compounds in cardiovascular modulation. The data assembled to date indicate that NEP inhibition elicits significant ANF-like effects in animals and man. The early data generated to date on SCH 34826, when considered with those data generated on other NEP inhibitors, indicate that NEP inhibition may have therapeutic utility in some forms of hypertension and congestive heart failure.
