| Bioactivity | Enalaprilat dihydrate (MK-422), the active metabolite of the oral prodrug Enalapril, is a potent, competitive and long-acting angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, with an IC50 of 1.94 nM. Enalaprilat dihydrate can be used for the research of hypertension[1][2][3]. | ||||||||||||
| Target | IC50: 1.94 nM (ACE) | ||||||||||||
| Invitro | Enalaprilat (1 nM-10 μM; 24 h) dihydrate attenuates the IGF-I induced neonatal rat cardiac fibroblast growth (30% reduction) in a concentration-dependent fashion, with an IC50 of 90 mM[2]. | ||||||||||||
| In Vivo | Enalaprilat (0.01%-2.9% in the eyedrop solution) dihydrate shows significant intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering effect in rabbits[3]. | ||||||||||||
