Quinapril hydrochloride has been used as an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor to study its effects on renal tubular epithelial cell proliferation in human renal tubular epithelial cells. It has also been used as an ACE inhibitor to evaluate its effects on the expression of angiotensin II (AII) in patient-derived Atheroma samples.
Antihypertensive;Dopamine receptor agonist
Quinapril is an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. Antihypertensive.
ChEBI: Quinapril hydrochloride is a hydrochloride resulting from the reaction of equimolar amounts of quinapril and hydrogen chloride. A prodrug for quinaprilat hydrochloride (by hydrolysis of the ethyl ester to the corresponding carboxylic acid), it is used as an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACE inhibitor) for the treatment of hypertension and congestive heart failure. It has a role as an antihypertensive agent and an EC 3.4.15.1 (peptidyl-dipeptidase A) inhibitor. It contains a quinapril(1+).
