Methods, compositions, and compounds for modulating the activity of an endothelin peptide are provided. The methods use compositions that contain compounds that include those of the formula: ##STR1## where X is selected from groups that include O, S, and NH; Y is selected from O.sup.+ and N, and R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are each selected independently from among alkyl, lower alkenyl, lower alkynyl, lower haloalkyl, halide, pseudohalide or H, except that R.sup.2 is not halide. R.sup.3, R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are selected from among groups that include hydrogen, halide, alkoxy, alkyl, haloalkyl; and R.sup.7 is selected from groups that include (CH.sub.2).sub.r R.sup.18, in which r is 0 to 6 and R.sup.18 is selected from groups that include aryl, particularly pyrmidinyl and phenyl. The methods are effected by contacting endothelin receptors with one or more of the compounds or with compositions containing one or more of the compounds prior to, simultaneously with, or subsequent to contacting the receptors with an endothelin peptide.
提供了调节内皮素肽活性的方法、组合物和化合物。这些方法使用含有以下式的化合物的组合物:##STR1## 其中X从包括O、S和NH的基团中选择;Y从O.sup.+和N中选择,R.sup.1和R.sup.2各自独立地从烷基、低烯烃基、低炔烃基、低卤代烷基、卤代基、伪卤代基或H中选择,但R.sup.2不是卤代基。R.sup.3、R.sup.4和R.sup.5从包括氢、卤代基、烷氧基、烷基、卤代烷基的基团中选择;R.sup.7从包括(CH.sub.2).sub.r R.sup.18的基团中选择,其中r为0到6,R.sup.18从包括芳基、特别是吡啶基和苯基的基团中选择。这些方法通过在接触内皮素受体之前、同时或之后与一种或多种化合物或含有一种或多种化合物的组合物接触来实现。
