Bioactivity | Moexiprilat is an inhibitor of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE; IC50=2.1 nM) and an active metabolite of the prodrug Moexipril (HY-117281). It is formed from moexipril in vivo by side chain ester hydrolysis. Moexiprilat (10 nM) prevents the estrone- or angiotensin II-stimulated proliferation of primary neonatal rat cardiac fibroblasts. It reduces mean arterial blood pressure and increases the levels of atrial natriuretic peptide, a marker of hypertension, in ovariectomized mice when administered at a dose of 50 mg/kg per day. |
