Bioactivity | Trandolapril (RU44570) hydrochloride is a nonsulfhydryl prodrug that is hydrolysed to the active diacid Trandolapril hydrochlorideat. Trandolapril hydrochloride is an orally active angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor that has been used in the treatment of hypertension and congestive heart failure (CHF), and after myocardial infarction (MI)[1]. |
Target | Target: Angiotensin-converting Enzyme (ACE) |
In Vivo | Trandolapril hydrochloride (3 mg/kg/day; p.o.; 7 d) reduces renal fibrosis in obstructive nephropathy in mice, by inhibiting renal interstitial matrix expression and myofibroblast activation, decreasing renal proinflammatory cytokine RANTES and TNF-α level[2].Trandolapril hydrochloride (0.3 mg/kg/day; p.o.; 4 weeks) improves arterial mechanics in rats, prevents arterial hypertrophy, collagen and cellular fibronectin accumulation[3].randolapril (0.3 mg/kg/day; p.o.; 4 months) exhibits a chronic anti-hypertension effects in rats, results in blood pressure decreasing[3].Trandolapril hydrochloride (0.25 mg/kg; p.o.; twice a day; 4 months) inhibits Atherosclerosis in the Watanabe Heritable Hyperlipidemic Rabbit[4].
