lisinopril ramipril

Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors are used primarily in the treatment of hypertension, heart failure, and in the acute phase of myocardial infarction. Lisinopril [N2 -[(1S)-1-car-boxy-3-phenylpropyl]-L-lysyl-L-proline], enalapril [(S)-1-[N-[1-(ethoxycarbonyl)-3-phenylpropyl]-L-alanyl]-L-proline] and ramipril [2-aza-bicyclo-[3.3.0]-octane-3-carboxylic acid] are all five-membered heterocycles and three of the most prevalent ACE inhibitors in clinical use worldwide. ACE inhibitor-induced angioedema (AE) is clinically characterized by self-limited edema of the dermis and subcutaneous lipid tissue, localized on face skin, oral mucosa and tongue in most cases...

BACKGROUND: Although a growing number of observational studies suggest that angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) intake may be a risk factor for psoriasis, evidence is still insufficient to draw definitive conclusions. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Drug-targeted Mendelian randomization (DTMR) was used to analyze the causality between genetic proxied ACEIs and psoriasis. Furthermore, we performed a disproportionality analysis based on the FDA adverse event reporting system (FAERS) database to identify more suspicious subclasses of ACEIs...

Studies have shown that angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) are superior in primary and secondary prevention for cardiac mortality and morbidity to angiotensin receptor blocker (ARBs). One of the common side effects from ACEI is dry cough. The aims of this systematic review, and network meta-analysis are to rank the risk of cough induced by different ACEIs and between ACEI and placebo, ARB or calcium channel blockers (CCB). We performed a systematic review, and network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials to rank the risk of cough induced by each ACEI and between ACEI and placebo, ARB or CCB...

The acid-base equilibria of six ACE inhibitors (ACEIs), captopril, cilazapril, enalapril, lisinopril, quinapril, and ramipril, were investigated in the presence of micelles of nonionic surfactant Brij 35. The p K a values were potentiometrically determined at 25 °C and at a constant ionic strength (0.1 M NaCl). The obtained potentiometric data were evaluated in the computer program Hyperquad. On the basis of the shift in the p K a values (Δp K a ) determined in micellar media in relation to the p K a values previously determined in "pure" water, the effect of Brij 35 micelles on ACEIs ionization was estimated...

According to some clinical observations, the use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) may be associated with an increased risk of cancer. The aim of the present study was to screen for the potential carcinogenicity, mutagenicity and genotoxicity of these drugs using in silico methodology. Delapril, enalapril, imidapril, lisinopril, moexipril, perindopril, ramipril, trandolapril, spirapril were thereby analyzed. In parallel, the corresponding degradation impurities, the diketopiperazine (DKP) derivatives, were also investigated...

INTRODUCTION: Drug resistant HTN (rHTN) affects around 15% to 20% of hypertensive (HTN) patients. The underlying mechanisms of resistance to treatment remain poorly understood. The majority of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) are esters, whereby we hypothesized that select gut microbiota hydrolyze ACEi rendering lower efficacy (Figure 1A). To test this hypothesis, we investigated if and which gut microbe modulates the effectiveness of ACEi. METHODS: Vancomycin, Meropenem and Omeprazole (VMO) were given to 16-week-old male Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats (SHR) at 50 mg/kg/day for five days...

BACKGROUND: Despite the availability of various classes of antihypertensive medications, a large proportion of hypertensive individuals remain resistant to treatments. The reason for what contributes to low efficacy of antihypertensive medications in these individuals is elusive. The knowledge that gut microbiota is involved in pathophysiology of hypertension and drug metabolism led us to hypothesize that gut microbiota catabolize antihypertensive medications and compromised their blood pressure (BP)-lowering effects...

Background: Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors have been shown to promote endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) function. However, the efficacies of different ACE inhibitors in improving the migratory capabilities of ECPs in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients is unclear. This study compared the effectiveness of captopril, lisinopril, and ramipril toward the migration capability of impaired EPCs from CAD patients. Methods: We isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), separated EPCs from PBMCs, and divided them into an untreated group (control) and treated groups of captopril, lisinopril, and ramipril at doses of 1mM, 10mM, and 100mM...

This review aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of once- versus twice-daily administration of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors for the management of hypertension. A literature search on PubMed and Google Scholar was performed (January 1980 to June 2020) using the following search terms: ACE inhibitors, lisinopril, enalapril, fosinopril, trandolapril, ramipril, perindopril, captopril, benazepril, ambulatory blood pressure, hypertension, twice-daily dosing, once-daily dosing. Reference lists from retrieved articles were examined for additional reports...

Real-world prescribing of drugs differs from the experimental systems, physiological-pharmacokinetic (PK) models and clinical trials used in drug development and licensing, with drugs often used in patients with multiple comorbidities with resultant polypharmacy. The increasing availability of large biobanks linked to electronic healthcare records enables the potential to identify novel drug-gene interactions in large populations of patients. In this study we used 3 Scottish cohorts and UK Biobank to identify drug-gene interactions for the 50 most commonly used drugs and 162 variants in genes involved in drug pharmacokinetics...

BACKGROUND: We previously tested two angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and two dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors for dual enzyme inhibitory effect. Only two DPP-4 inhibitors, linagliptin and sitagliptin, were able to inhibit ACE. OBJECTIVE: In the present study, we investigated if other inhibitors of ACE or DPP-4 could simultaneously inhibit the activities of both DPP-4 and ACE. METHODS: Forty Sprague Dawley rats were used...
