Pharmacodynamic and humoral effects of single intravenous doses of captopril in normal subjects. 1987

J Nussberger, and G Waeber, and J Bidiville, and B Waeber, and H R Brunner

The blood pressure, heart rate and humoral responses to single intravenous doses of the angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor captopril were evaluated in 5 volunteers on a free salt intake. Each subject was given at one-week intervals a 1, 5 and 25 mg intravenous dose of captopril as well as the vehicle of captopril. The study was conducted in a single-blind fashion and the order of treatment phases was randomized. Captopril was found to inhibit the renin-angiotensin system in a dose-dependent fashion. A fall in circulating angiotensin II was observed with doses of 1 and 5 mg. Plasma angiotensin II was not detectable 15 min after the 25 mg dose. Acute inhibition of angiotensin converting enzyme with intravenous captopril had no effect on blood pressure and heart rate.

D002216 Captopril A potent and specific inhibitor of PEPTIDYL-DIPEPTIDASE A. It blocks the conversion of ANGIOTENSIN I to ANGIOTENSIN II, a vasoconstrictor and important regulator of arterial blood pressure. Captopril acts to suppress the RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN SYSTEM and inhibits pressure responses to exogenous angiotensin.

D000804 Angiotensin II An octapeptide that is a potent but labile vasoconstrictor. It is produced from angiotensin I after the removal of two amino acids at the C-terminal by ANGIOTENSIN CONVERTING ENZYME. The amino acid in position 5 varies in different species. To block VASOCONSTRICTION and HYPERTENSION effect of angiotensin II, patients are often treated with ACE INHIBITORS or with ANGIOTENSIN II TYPE 1 RECEPTOR BLOCKERS.
