Produces a near complete relaxation in pre-contracted aortae by activating the natriuretic peptide receptor 1 (NPR1) (PubMed:15652496). Stimulates cGMP production through the natriuretic peptide receptor 1 (NPR1) with high potencies for the rat NPR1 (EC(50)=100 nM), and very weak potencies over human NPR1 (28% activation at 10 uM) (PubMed:37049825). In vivo, reduces both systolic and diastolic blood pressure with no effect on heart rate, when intravenously injected in conscious rabbits (PubMed:37049825). Also enhances the bradycardia due to cardiac afferent stimulation (Bezold-Jarisch reflex) (PubMed:37049825).[UniProtKB:C6EVG7] Publication Abstract from PubMed Cardiovascular ailments are a major cause of mortality where over 1.3 billion people suffer from hypertension leading to heart-disease related deaths. Snake venoms possess a broad repertoire of natriuretic peptides with therapeutic potential for treating hypertension, congestive heart failure, and related cardiovascular disease. We now describe several taipan (Oxyuranus microlepidotus) natriuretic peptides TNPa-e which stimulated cGMP production through the natriuretic peptide receptor A (NPR-A) with higher potencies for the rat NPR-A (rNPR-A) over human NPR-A (hNPR-A). TNPc and TNPd were the most potent, demonstrating 100- and 560-fold selectivity for rNPR-A over hNPR-A. In vivo studies found that TNPc decreased diastolic and systolic blood pressure (BP) and increased heart rate (HR) in conscious normotensive rabbits, to a level that was similar to that of human atrial natriuretic peptide (hANP). TNPc also enhanced the bradycardia due to cardiac afferent stimulation (Bezold-Jarisch reflex). This indicated that TNPc possesses the ability to lower blood pressure and facilitate cardiac vagal afferent reflexes but unlike hANP does not produce tachycardia. The 3-dimensional structure of TNPc was well defined within the pharmacophoric disulfide ring, displaying two turn-like regions (RMSD = 1.15 A). Further, its much greater biological stability together with its selectivity and potency will enhance its usefulness as a biological tool.
