TABLE 1

Aligned structure of the B1 receptor peptide ligands used in the present study and their affinities in two assays (competition of [3H]Lys-des-Arg9-BK to B1 receptors expressed by smooth muscle cells; competition for the hydrolysis of l-Ala-pNA by the aminopeptidase present in smooth muscle cell membranes)

The B1 receptor binding Ki values for the nonpeptide compounds 11 and A are 0.013 and 0.032 nM, respectively.
