Moexipril_product_DataBase

Bioactivity	Moexipril is an orally active inhibitor of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), and becomes effective by being hydrolyzed to moexiprila (hydrochloride). Moexipril exhibits antihypertensive and neuroprotective effects[1]-[4].
Target	IC50: 2.1 nM (purified ACE from rabbit lung), 1.75 nM (ACE in rat plasma)
Invitro	Moexipril is devoid of anti-inflammatory properties and has no effect on platelet function[2].Moexipril hydrolyzes to Moexiprilat, and Moexiprilat inhibits ACE in guinea pig serum as well as on purified ACE from rabbit lung with IC50s of 2.6 nM and 4.9 nM, respectively[2].Moexipril (0.01 nM-0.1 mM) exhibits high potency against both ACE in rats plasma and purified ACE from rabbit lung, with IC50s of 1.75 nM and 2.1 nM, respectively[3].Moexipril (0-100 μM, 24 h) significantly reduced the percentage of damaged neurons in a dose-dependent manner[4]. Moexipril (0-100 μM, 24 h) significantly attenuates Fe2+/3+-induced neurotoxicity[4].Moexipril dose not cause significant changes in the percentage of apoptotic neurons[4].
In Vivo	Moexipril can not cross the blood-brain barrier[1].Moexipril (3 mg/kg, 30 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg; p.o.; once daily; 5 days) exhibits a dose-dependent and antihypertensive effects in renal hypertensive rats, spontaneously hypertensive rats and perinephritic hypertensive dogs, respectively[3].Moexipril (0.3 mg/kg, i.p.) significantly reduces the infarct area on the mouse brain surface in NMRI mice[4].Moexipril (0.1 mg/kg, i.p.) significantly attenuates the cortical infarct volume in Long-Evans rats[4].
