| Bioactivity | (R)-SCH 42495 is the less active enantiomer of SCH 42495[1]. SCH 42495 is an orally active neutral metalloendopeptidase (NEP) inhibitor with antihypertensive effect. SCH 42495 is the orally active ethylester prodrug of SCH 42354[2]. |
| Invitro | NEP acts as a critical enzyme in the degradation. NEP cleaves atrial natriuretic factors (ANF) in vitro[1]. |
| In Vivo | Inhibition of NEP in vivo has been shown to produce beneficial vasodilatory and natriuretic responses[1]. |
