| DrugBank Description: | Temocapril is a prodrug-type angiotensin-I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor not approved for use in the United States, but is approved in Japan and South Korea. Temocapril can also be used in hemodialysis patients without risk of serious accumulation. |
| CAS Number: | 111902-57-9 |
| Molecular Weight: | 476.609 |
| DrugBank Indication: | Temocapril is an ACE inhibitor primarily indicated in the treatment of hypertension and congestive heart failure, diabetic nephropathy, and improvement of prognosis for coronary artery diseases (including acute myocardial infarction). |
| DrugBank Pharmacology: | Temocapril is a prodrug of its active metabolite (and diacid form) temocaprilat which contains a thiazepine ring. Temocaprilat has slightly higher potency than enalaprilat in ACE inhibition isolated from rabbit lung. ACE inhibitors exert their hemodynamic effect mainly by inhibiting the renin-angiotensin system. They also modulate sympathetic nervous system activity and increase prostaglandin synthesis. They cause mainly vasodilation and mild natriuresis without affecting heart rate and contractility.). When compared with other Angiotensin-converting Enzyme Inhibitors, temocapril's advantages include a rapid onset of action and what research suggests is tighter vascular ACE binding than enalaprilat. |
