CID 11145434

개요Enalapril maleate is the second angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor to reach the marketplace. Like captopril, the first entry in this area, enalapril is useful in the treatment of hypertension and congestive heart failure. It has a longer effective half-life than captopril, allowing once or twice-daily dosing, and appears to have a somewhat lower incidence of side effects.

용도Enalapril maleate salt is used as a long-acting ACE inhibitor and antihypertensive, used to study diabetic angiopathy in diabetic rats and inhibition of ACE in hog plasma (I50=1.2nM). ACE inhibitors disturb the enin-angiotensin- aldosterone system. Additional ACE inhibitors include: Enalapril, Enalaprilat dihydrate, Enalaprilat, and Enalapril-d5 Maleate Salt, among others.

일반 설명Enalapril maleate, 1-[N[(S)-1-carboxy-3-phenylpropyl]-L-alanyl]-L-proline 1 -ethyl estermaleate (Vasotec), is a long-acting ACE inhibitor. It requiresactivation by hydrolysis of its ethyl ester to form thediacid enalaprilat. Enalapril is devoid of the side effects ofrash and loss of taste seen with captopril. These side effectsare similar to those of the mercapto-containing drugpenicillamine. The absence of the thiol group in enalaprilmaleate may free it from these side effects. The half-life is11 hours.
