简介内容:SCH-42354 is a potent, orally active inhibitor of neutral endopeptidase (NEP), serving as the active form of the prodrug SCH-42495. By inhibiting NEP hydrolysis, SCH-42354 enhances the activity of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and prevents the hydrolysis of leu-enkephalin and ANF with IC50 values of nM and nM, respectively. Furthermore, SCH-42354 exhibits antihypertensive activity [1] [2].
