Product Description

PKG drug G1 is a novel electrophilic agent that activates PKG Iα by selectively targeting C42 of PKG Iα. Through a mechanism independent of C42 PKG Iα, PKG drug G1 can couple to vasodilation and lower blood pressure. One of the biggest health burdens today is arterial hypertension. Therapeutic potential exists in the development of novel antihypertensive medications that activate vasodilatory mechanisms not previously utilized by treatments. Oxidants cause an interprotein disulfide at position C42 in PKG Iα (protein kinase G Iα), which is linked to its activation and targeting, lowering blood pressure and causing vasodilation. PKG medication G1 may be a novel antihypertensive with a different mode of action than existing treatments. This led to the discovery of a medication that we will refer to as G1, which inhibits PKG Iα's C42 to cause isolated resistance blood vessels to dilate and lower blood pressure in a mouse model of angiotensin II-induced hypertension. However, in C42S PKG Iα knockin mice that were hypertensive due to angiotensin II, these antihypertensive effects were absent. Because the reactive cysteinyl thiol in these transgenic mice was altered to a hydroxyl, it was rendered incapable of reacting with electrophiles like medication G1 or endogenous vasodilatory oxidants. Consequently, these investigations validate PKG Iα C42 as the G1 target and demonstrate the feasibility of a novel class of antihypertensive medications that may be developed further for human clinical use.

Targets
PKG Iα
ln Vivo
PKG drug G1 induces vasodilation of isolated resistance blood vessels and blood pressure lowering in a mouse model of angiotensin II–induced hypertension. The effectiveness of PKG medication G1 in relaxing WT arteries is evaluated in a murine model of hypertension, whereas KI vessels do not relax as well. In vivo, PKG medication G1 reduces blood pressure in hypertensive WT mice but not in KI mice. PKG medication G1 is tested in vivo in robust mice fitted with telemetric implants that enable continuous monitoring of heart rate and blood pressure. Intraperitoneal injection of PKG drug G1 or vehicle control is administered, and the acute effect on hemodynamics is evaluated. When PKG drug G1 is given at a dose of 7.4 mg/kg, blood pressure does not drop; however, reflex tachycardia occurs concurrently. When this is repeated with a dose of PKG medication G1 of 14.8 mg/kg, blood pressure is not changed; however, the higher dose causes a potentiated increase in heart rate[1].
Animal Protocol
Mice: Mice on a pure C57BL/6 background are generated to constitutively express PKG Iα Cys42Ser. All experiments use male mice, either WT or PKG Iα Cys42Ser KI, that are age and body weight matched. In conscious, free-moving mice, radio telemetry is used to measure blood pressure and heart rate. Angiotensin II is administered via Alzet osmotic mini-pumps at a daily dose of 1.1 mg/kg in certain studies. PKG medication G1 is administered orally (20 mg/kg) in certain studies, or intraperitoneally (3.7–14.8 mg/kg). In order to provide PKG drug G1 orally, it is suspended in water and set in gelatin that has been flavored with sodium saccharin, so there is no stress or chance of the telemetric probe catheter coming loose[1].
