pubmed:abstractText
Bradykinin and its active metabolites are produced at the sites of their actions by kallikreins. They potently elicit a variety of biological effects: hypotension, bronchoconstriction, gut and uterine contraction, epithelial secretion in airway, gut, and exocrine glands, vascular permeability, pain, connective tissue proliferation, and eicosanoid formation. These effects are mediated by at least two broad classes of receptors. The most common is the B2 subtype. The Stewart and Vavrek peptides characterized by a DPhe7 substitution have provided powerful tools for study of bradykinin's actions by competitively and specifically blocking bradykinin B2 receptors. The significance of kinins in certain human diseases is being explored using these new tools and potential therapeutic agents. At present, human clinical trials are underway to test the usefulness of bradykinin receptor antagonists in the symptoms of the common cold and in the pain associated with severe burns. Trials for use in asthma will be initiated in 1990.
