ALATRIOPRILAT

Alatrioprilat is an orally active inhibitor of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) (IC50=19.6 nM; Ki=9.8 nM) and enkephailnase (IC50=6.1 nM; Ki=5.1 nM). Alatrioprilat plays a key role in the metabolism of hormonal peptides through the degradation of nitric oxide and atrial natriuretic factor (ANF). Alatrioprilat can be used in the study of cardiovascular diseases[1].
