Aims/hypothesis: Renal accumulation of AGEs may contribute to the progression of diabetic nephropathy. We evaluated the effect of ramipril ( a pure ACE inhibitor) and AVE7688 ( a dual inhibitor of ACE and neutral endopeptidase) on renal accumulation of the advanced glycation end-product ( AGE) 3-deoxyglucosone-imidazolone, carboxymethyllysine (CML) and pentosidine, and on clearance of CML in type 2 diabetes. Methods: Male Zucker diabetic fatty rats (ZDF, Gmi-fa/fa) rats were treated from age 10 to 37 weeks with ramipril ( 1 mg . kg(-1) . day(-1)), AVE7688 (45 mg . kg(-1) . day(-1)) or without drug. Ramipril and AVE7688 reduced albuminuria by 30 and 90%, respectively. Results: ZDF rats showed increased renal accumulation of the AGE subtypes 3-deoxyglucosone- imidazolone, pentosidine and CML by about 40, 55 and 55%, respectively compared with heterozygous, non-diabetic control animals at the age of 37 weeks. AVE7688 but not ramipril attenuated the renal accumulation of 3-deoxyglucosoneimidazolone, pentosidine and CML and improved CML clearance in ZDF rats. During glycation reactions in vitro, AVE7688 also demonstrated potent chelating activity and inhibited metal-catalysed formation of pentosidine and CML. Conclusions/ interpretation: Improved AGE clearance and direct inhibition of AGE formation by chelation may contribute to reduced accumulation of renal AGEs and to the nephroprotective effects of vasopeptidase inhibition in type 2 diabetes.
