Md. Dowle et al., BENZOFURAN BASED ANGIOTENSIN-II ANTAGONISTS RELATED TO GR117289 .3. GR138950, A TRIFLAMIDE WITH HIGH ORAL BIOAVAILABILITY, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 3(10), 1993, pp. 2047-2050
The identification of GR138950, a non-peptide antagonist of angiotensi
n II with high oral bioavailability, is described. GR138950 is a poten
t and selective ATI receptor antagonist which causes marked falls in b
lood pressure in renal hypertensive rats after either systemic or oral
administration. It has high bioavailability in both rats and dogs and
has been selected as our second candidate for clinical development.
