Беназеприл

Определение

ChEBI: A benzazepine that is benazeprilat in which the carboxy group of the 2-amino-4-phenylbutanoic acid moiety has been converted to the corresponding ethyl ester. It is used (generally as its hydrochloride salt) as a prodrug for the angiotensin-converting enzy e inhibitor benazeprilat in the treatment of hypertension and heart failure.

Ферментативный ингибитор

This ACE-directed pro-drug (FWfree-acid = 424.50 g/mol; CAS 86541-75-5), also known as 3-((1-(ethoxycarbonyl)-3-phenylpropyl)amino)-2,3,4,5- tetrahydro-2-oxo-(S-(R*,R*))-1H-1-benzazepine-1-acetic acid, Lotensin and CGS 14824A, is rapidly metabolized to its diacid benazeprilat (CGS 14831; FWfree-diacid = 396.44 g/mol), the latter a potent, long-acting inhibitor of peptidyl-dipeptidase A, or angiotensin I-converting enzyme, IC50 = 1.7 nM. Lotensin is used to treat hypertension, congestive heart failure, and chronic renal failure. The antihypertensive effects of benazepril begin as early as 30 min after a single dose, and those effects during consecutive dosing are also sustained for 24 h with a lesser diurnal variation in blood pressure
