The hypotensive effect of captopril is not mediated by renal medullary lipids. 1987

S Saeki, and T Ogihara, and F Masugi, and Y Kumahara

The role of renomedullary lipids in the hypotensive effect of captopril was studied in spontaneously hypertensive rats, one-kidney, one clip hypertensive rats and two-kidney, one clip hypertensive rats using inhibitors of acetyl glyceryl ether phosphorylcholine and prostaglandins, and chemical medullectomy. Our experiments indicate that it is unlikely that renomedullary lipids contribute to the hypotensive action of captopril.

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.
