The effects of BRL 34915, (+/-) 6-cyano-3,4-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-trans-4-(2-oxo-1-pyrrolidyl)-2H-b enzo [b]-pyran-3-ol, on blood pressure and other haemodynamic parameters in animals have been investigated in comparison with those of nifedipine. In conscious spontaneously hypertensive rats and renal hypertensive cats and dogs the oral doses of BRL 34915 lowering blood pressure are 10 to 30 times lower than those of nifedipine. Tachycardia evoked by BRL 34915 tends to be less than that produced by nifedipine in the cat and of similar magnitude in the dog. The antihypertensive response to BRL 34915 in these models is reproducible on repeat once daily dosing without rebound hypertension on cessation of dosing. In studies using electromagnetic flow probes to measure regional blood flow in anaesthetised cats the intravenous administration of BRL 34915, unlike that of nifedipine, markedly increases renal blood flow yet BRL 34915 lacks the marked effect of nifedipine on femoral blood flow. BRL 34915, a compound structurally unrelated to existing cardiovascular drugs, is a potent new antihypertensive agent having an interesting profile of activity that renders this compound of clinical interest.
