Endothelin (ET) is the endogenous vasoconstriction peptide with 21
amino acid residues (Yanagisawa et al., Nature, 1988). Since its
activity is linked to the regulation of blood presser, this peptide has
been targeted to develop the antagonists expecting the therapeutic
applications for hypertension. Two cyclic peptapeptides of BE18257A and
B were isolated from Streptomyces misakiensis (Kojiri et al., J.
Antibiotics, 1991), which antagonized the ET-1 induced vasoconstriction
by binding to the endothelin A (ETA) receptor subtype. The more potent
ET-1 antagonists, BQ123, have been surveyed from these leading peptides
(Ihara et al., Life Sci., 1992). In addition to the screening of ET
antagonists, the structural studies have been performed for the
characterization of ET (Hewage et al., J. Pept. Sci., 1997), and the
helical property of the C-terminal region was focused (Okasa et al.,
Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun., 1991; Van der Walle et al., J. Pharm.
Pharmacol., 1998). Such structural feature was also confirmed in the
crystal structure (Janes et al., Nature Struct. Biol.. et al. 1997).
The recent NMR study suggested that the structures of these antagonists
were partially similar to that of ET-1 (Coles et al., J. Med. Chem.,
1993; Peishoff et al., 1995). These structural studies for both
intrinsic substrates and antagonists are important to characterize the
structure-specificity of ETA receptor.
