개요Fosinopril sodium, an ester prodrug of fosinoprilat, is the first of a new generation of phosphinic acid ACE inhibitors indicated for the once-daily treatment of hypertension. Unlike captopril and lisinopril, it is reportedly effective in increasing the left ventricular peak filling rates and peak ejection rates in hypertensive patients at rest. Another advantage is that fosinopril sodium is metabolized equally by renal and hepatic routes, thereby avoiding the requirement to modify dosage in patients with renal insufficiency.

용도Fosinopril sodium is the ester prodrug of an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, used for the treatment of hypertension and some types of chronic heart failure.

일반 설명Fosinopril sodium, (4S)-4-cyclohexyl-1-[[[(RS)-1-hydroxy-2-methylpropoxy](4-phenylbutyl)phosphinyl]acetyl]-L-proline sodium salt (Monopril),is a phosphorus-containing ACE inhibitor. It is inactive butserves as a prodrug, being completely hydrolyzed by intestinaland liver enzymes to the active diacid fosinoprilat.
