| Bioactivity | Spirapril is a potent and cross the blood-brain barrier angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor with antihypertensive activity. Spirapril competitively binds to ACE and prevents the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II. Spirapril is an orally active prodrug of Spiraprilat and can be used for the research of hypertension, congestive heart failure[1][2][3]. |
| In Vivo | Spirapril (feeding needle; 10 mg/kg; 3 weeks) decreases alcohol intake in TGM123 mice and dose not reduce the alcohol consumption in TLM mice[2].Spirapril shows a 40.2% reduction in ACE activity in brain membrane from treated-mice[2].Spirapril can crosses the blood-brain barrier and suppresses the transgene effect in the experiments[2].Spirapril prevents left ventricular hypertrophy, decreases myocardial damage and promotes angiogenesis in spontaneously hypertensive rats[3]. |
