Overview:

Zestoretic
(when available)

Pharmacology and use:
Lisinopril, an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, is used to treat hypertension, congestive heart failure (CHF), postmyocardial infarction, and diabetic nephropathy or retinopathy. Although it is the lysine ester of enalaprilat, the active form of the prodrug enalapril, lisinopril is active unchanged. For the treatment of hypertension, heart failure and acute myocardial infarction. It may be used alone or in combination with thiazide diuretics

Mechanism Of Action:
Lisinopril competes with angiotensin I for its binding site on the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), an enzyme which converts angiotensin I to angiotensin II. As angiotensin II is a vasoconstrictor and a negative feedback mediator for renin activity, lower angiotensin II plasma levels result in decreased blood pressure and increased plasma renin activity. Baroreceptor reflex mechanisms, stimulated by the fall in blood pressure, release kininase II, an enzyme identical to ACE that degrades bradykinin, a vasodilator.
