From kinetics to dynamics: are there differences between ACE inhibitors?

چکیده

Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors are established treatment for hypertension and heart failure. There are well documented differences between ACE inhibitors both in physicochemical properties and pharmacokinetics. Pharmacodynamic actions are similar for most members of the ACE inhibitor class but there are compounds with additional effects which may reflect protease inhibition or non-enzyme-directed pharmacological properties. Clinically relevant differences are few and far between, particularly in the treatment of hypertension when the optimal dose and dose intervals are used. In heart failure there may be a role for drugs with additional properties such as neutral endopeptidase inhibition. In addition, ACE inhibitors differ in the profile of blood pressure changes after the first dose. Early haemodynamic changes with a fall in blood pressure in heart failure patients may be disadvantageous in terms of subsequent outcome. Thus the haemodynamic effects of the first dose may be relevant to the choice of ACE inhibitors in heart failure.

The Lipophilicity Examination of Some ACE inhibitors and Hydrochlorothiazide on Cellulose in RP Thin-Layer Chromatography

In this assay, the evaluation of lipophilicity of four ACE-inhibitors and hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) with RP-TLC on cellulose layers was described using three binary solvent systems. The selected ACE inhibitors had sufficiently different structures which can indicate the method suitability for their lipophilicity evaluation as the model substances in comparison with HCTZ. In addition, the linea...

Angiotensin-converting enzyme(ACE)(EC: 3.4.15.1) is a peptidyl dipeptide hydrolase that removes the carboxyl terminal (His-Leu) from angiotensin I to produce the octapeptide angiotensin II. Due to the importance of ACE and its active site-directed inhibitors in the pathogenesis and treatment of cardiovascular disorders such as hypertension and heart failure, ACE purification and ass...

Therapeutic controversies in hypertension management: angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers in diabetic nephropathy? ACE inhibitors.

Diabetic nephropathy is the number one cause of endstage renal disease in the United States. Blood pressure is most important in delaying the progression of renal disease in persons with diabetes and, agents that block the renin angiotensin system (RAS) should be the primary agents used to achieve blood pressure reduction. There is debate regarding which method of RAS blockade should be used as...
