The present study was designed to examine the effects of two new angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, CGS 14831 and CGS 16617 (3 mg/kg i. v. 1 min prior to occlusion and 4 and 24 h after occlusion), on myocardial ischemic (MI) damage and left-ventricular hypertrophy in rats. Administration of CGS 14831 or CGS 16617 inhibited angio-tensin-I-induced pressor responses by 40-100% for 4 h after each dose. Myocardial creatine phosphokinase (CK) levels were 10.6 +/- 0.6 U/mg protein in sham-MI animals, and following coronary artery occlusion for 48 h were decreased to 4.1 +/- 0.2 U/mg protein in MI + vehicle animals (p less than 0.01). CGS 14831 and CGS 16617 attenuated the decrease in CK content and resulted in 47 and 40% sparing, respectively, of the left-ventricular free wall. Neither agent attenuated the left-ventricular hypertrophy which developed following coronary artery occlusion. These data indicate that the nonsulfhydryl ACE inhibitors CGS 14831 and CGS 16617 have a significant cardioprotective effect in rats surviving 48 h, and suggest a potential therapeutic usefulness of these agents for the treatment of ischemia-induced heart failure.
