CAS 124584-08-3: Brain natriureticpeptide-32 (human)

BNP-32 is a peptide hormone that regulates the volume of blood in the heart and lungs. It is used to diagnose congestive heart failure, and also as a treatment for decompensated congestive heart failure. When given as an intravenous infusion, BNP-32 reduces the levels of natriuretic peptides in the blood stream by increasing their breakdown in the kidneys. The disulfide bond between cysteine residues (Cys-Cys) is essential for its activity. BNP-32 has been shown to be effective against infectious diseases such as HIV, hepatitis C, and tuberculosis. It is also used in combination with other drugs to treat high blood pressure. This drug can be administered orally or intravenously and is biocompatible with human tissue because it is chemically stable and non-toxic at therapeutic doses.

Nesiritide, recombinant human B-type natriuretic peptide, binds NPR-A/C with Kd 7.3/13 pM.

The secretion of the cardiac hormone BNP-32 is increased considerably in patients with congestive heart failure, successful medical treatment of this condition will result in a decrease. Yandle et al. described a method for determining hBNP in human plasma. Effects of hBNP infusion in humans have been described by Holmes et al and La Villa et al. BNP is an important biomarker in the diagnosis of heart diseases. Additionally, BNP-32 may act as a neuropeptide. BNP-32 exerts strong lipolytic effects in humans.

This 32 amino acid peptide contains a 17 amino acid ring structure that is common to all natriuretic peptides. It is also called the brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) because it was first identified in porcine brain- however, the main source of this peptide is not the brain but the cardiac ventricle. This cardiac neurohormone is secreted from the ventricles in response to volume expansion and pressure overload. It has natriuretic and vasodilatory effects and suppresses the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.

Nesiritide acetate is a man-made form of the natriuretic peptide hormone that is secreted by the heart. It is used to treat high blood pressure and congestive heart failure. Nesiritide acetate increases the amount of sodium and water excreted from the body, which reduces blood volume and lowers blood pressure. It also relaxes blood vessels, leading to lower blood pressure. This drug can also be used in diagnosis to assess levels of natriuretic peptides in the bloodstream. The typical therapeutic dose for this drug is 100 mcg/kg given intravenously over 30 minutes and then infusion at 0.01 mcg/kg/min for up to 24 hours. The dosage may be increased or decreased depending on the severity of symptoms or side effects experienced by the patient.
