Overview:

Fosinopril (when available)

Pharmacology and use:
Fosinopril, an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. ACE is a peptidyl dipeptidase that catalyzes the conversion of angiotensin I to the vasoconstrictor substance, angiotensin II. By blocking ACE, Fosinopril decreases angiotensin II which is a vasoconstrictor. Fosinopril is used to treat hypertension and heart failure, to reduce proteinuria and renal disease in patients with nephropathies, and to prevent stroke, myocardial infarction, and cardiac death in high-risk patients. Angiotensin II also stimulates aldosterone secretion by the adrenal cortex. For the treatment of hypertension. It may be used alone or in combination with thiazide diuretics. It is alos indicated in the management of heart failure.

Mechanism Of Action:
Fosinoprilat, the active metabolite of Fosinopril, competes with angiotensin I for binding at the angiotensin-converting enzyme, blocking the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II. Inhibition of ACE results in decreased plasma angiotensin II. As angiotensin II is a vasoconstrictor and a negative-feedback mediator for renin activity, lower concentrations result in a decrease in blood pressure and stimulation of baroreceptor reflex mechanisms, which leads to decreased vasopressor activity and to decreased aldosterone secretion. Fosinoprilat may also act on kininase II, an enzyme identical to ACE that degrades the vasodilator bradykinin.
