The possibility of an impaired hepatic de-esterification of enalapril to enalaprilat due to hepatic dysfunction was assessed in seven patients with compensated liver cirrhosis and 10 normal control subjects. The peak serum concentration and time to the peak serum concentration of enalaprilat, as well as the suppression of serum angiotensin converting enzyme activity, following a single oral dose of enalapril maleate (10 mg) were not different in the two groups. The elimination half-life of enalaprilat was related to renal function. The results suggest that hepatic biotransformation of the drug may not be disturbed in a clinically significant manner in patients with moderate hepatic dysfunction due to compensated liver cirrhosis.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007703 Peptidyl-Dipeptidase A A peptidyl-dipeptidase that catalyzes the release of a C-terminal dipeptide, oligopeptide-|-Xaa-Yaa, when Xaa is not Pro, and Yaa is neither Asp nor Glu. Thus, conversion of ANGIOTENSIN I to ANGIOTENSIN II, with increase in vasoconstrictor activity, but no action on angiotensin II. It is also able to inactivate BRADYKININ, a potent vasodilator; and has a glycosidase activity which releases GPI-anchored proteins from the membrane by cleaving the mannose linkage in the GPI moiety.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation. Radioimmunoassays

D015773 Enalaprilat The active metabolite of ENALAPRIL and one of the potent, intravenously administered, ANGIOTENSIN-CONVERTING ENZYME INHIBITORS. It is an effective agent for the treatment of essential hypertension and has beneficial hemodynamic effects in heart failure. The drug produces renal vasodilation with an increase in sodium excretion.
