Mechanism of Action
Angiotensin II has been implicated in cardiac, renal and vascular diseases. [1] Bradykinin, a small peptide that counterbalance the effects of Angiotensin II by acting as a strong vasodilator upon binding AT2, is degraded by the same ACE-1 enzyme. Since ACE-1 is the primary producer of Angiotensin II and degrader of Bradykinins, inhibition of ACE-1 has proven an effective treatment for Hypertension and Congestive Heart Failure. Ramipril is quickly metabolized into Ramiprilat, the most active metabolite of Ramipril. Ramiprilat binds to the active site of , actively inhibiting ACE-1 from binding and converting Angiotensin I into Angiotensin II. ACE-1 using residues Glu 395, His 497, Lys 495, Gln 265, Tyr 504, Tyr 496 and Tyr 507, tightly affixing the inhibitor to the active site of ACE-1.
