A primary renal alteration due to a genetic polymorphism of the cytoskeletal protein adducin associated with an up-regulation of the renal Na-K pump and increased levels of ouabainlike factor (OLF) has been identified as a possible causes of hypertension in Milan rats (MHS). This adducin polymorphism has also been found to be associated with hypertension and the blood pressure changes related to renal Na handling in humans and increased OLF levels have been found in a relevant portion of hypertensive patients. Increased activity and expression of the Na-K pump has also been observed under the following ‘in vitro’ and ‘in vivo’ conditions: rat renal cells transfected with the ‘hypertensive’ variant of adducin, as compared ith normal cells; normal rat renal cells incubated for 5 days with 10-9M ouabain and normal rats made hypertensive by a chronic infusion of low doses of ouabain (OS rats). An up-regulation of the Na-K pump seems therefore to be a common biochemical alteration induced both by an adducin polymorphism and/or chronic exposure to low concentrations of ouabain (or OLF). A new antihypertensive compound, PST 2238, that selectively antagonizes the pressor effect and the alteration of the renal Na-K pump induced both by an adducin polymorphism and OLF, is described. The ability of PST 2238 to lower blood pressure and normalize the Na-K pump both in MHS and OS rats suggests that this compound could be useful in the treatment of those forms of essential hypertension in which renal Na-handling alterations are associated with either adducin polymorphisms and/or increased OLF levels.
