Ramipril
Ramipril
(marketed as Tritace or Altace) is an
Angiotensin-converting enzyme
(ACE) inhibitor, used to treat
high blood pressure
and
heart failure
.
ACE inhibitors
lower the production of
Angiotensin II
, therefore relaxing arterial muscles while at the same time enlarging the arteries, allowing the heart to pump blood easier, while at the same time increasing blood flow due to more blood being pumped into and through bigger passageways. Ramipril is a
prodrug
and is converted to the active
metabolite
ramiprilat by
liver
esterase
enzymes
. Ramiprilat is mostly
excreted
by the
kidneys
. The
half-life
of ramiprilat is variable (3 - 16 hours), and is prolonged by
heart failure
and
liver failure
, as well as
kidney failure
.
