Description

D-2-Amino-thiopheneacetic acid (DAT) is a non-selective endothelin receptor antagonist. It has an IC50 value of 2 nM for bq-123, an affinity that is mediated by receptor subtypes, and inhibits cyclic AMP production in the presence of hexapeptide. DAT was discovered as a cyclic peptide antagonist of the endothelin receptor. It binds to the same site on the endothelin receptor as endothelin itself, preventing it from binding to its receptors on cells in the body. This prevents activation of cellular responses to endothelin, such as vasoconstriction, which can lead to high blood pressure and heart disease. DAT also has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties due to its ability to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis.
