Product Description
Mechanism of action
Benazepril is an angiotensinconverting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor prodrug converted to benazeprilat. The active metabolite blocks ACEmediated conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, reducing vasoconstriction, aldosterone release and sympathetic activation. This results in decreased systemic vascular resistance and lowered blood pressure.
Benefits and advantages
Used extensively in cardiovascular pharmacology, RAASpathway modelling, endothelialfunction studies, comparative ACEinhibitor potency analysis, and kidneyprotection research in hypertension and diabeticnephropathy models.
Side effects and risks
Risks include hypotension, cough, hyperkalaemia, renal impairment and rare angioedema. Must be handled with ACEinhibitor compound precautions.
Only GMP materials will be supplied, logistics all according to GDP.
