Product Description
Mechanism of Action
Cilazapril is an angiotensin‑converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor administered as a prodrug converted to cilazaprilat. It inhibits ACE‑mediated conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, reducing vasoconstriction, aldosterone secretion and sympathetic tone. This lowers systemic vascular resistance and improves endothelial function.
Benefits and Advantages
Used in RAAS‑pathway research, cardiovascular‑remodelling studies, hypertension models, endothelial‑function experiments and ACE‑inhibitor SAR investigations.
Side Effects and Risks
Risks include cough, hyperkalemia, hypotension, renal impairment, angioedema and fetal toxicity. Handle as a potent RAAS‑modulating compound.
