Indication: | For the treatment of hypertension. It may be used alone or in combination with thiazide diuretics. |
Pharmacology: | Captopril, an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, is used to treat hypertension, congestive heart failure, and renal syndromes such as diabetic nephropathy and scleroderma. |
Mechanism_of_action: | Captopril competes with angiotensin I for binding at the angiotensin-converting enzyme, blocking the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II. As angiotensin II is a vasoconstrictor and a negative feedback mediator for renin activity, lower angiotensin II levels results in a decrease in blood pressure, an increase in renin activity, and stimulation of baroreceptor reflex mechanisms. Kininase II, an enzyme which degrades the vasodilator bradykinin, is identical to ACE and may also be inhibited. |
