Pharmacological and clinical studies with temocapril, an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor that is excreted in the bile Yasunari K; Maeda K; Nakamura M; Watanabe T; Yoshikawa J; Asada ACardiovasc Drug Rev 2004[Fal]; 22 (3): 189-98Temocapril is an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI), a prodrug with a thiazepine ring. Its active form, temocaprilat, is slightly more potent than enalaprilat in inhibiting ACE isolated from rabbit lung. The inhibitory potency of temocaprilat on isolated rat aorta is 3 times that of enalaprilat. Temocapril is excreted in the bile and urine and can be used in patients with renal insufficiency. It reduces blood pressure without causing any significant change in heart rate or cardiac output. Temocapril has been reported to improve endothelial dysfunction in vitro by suppressing increased oxidative stress. In vivo it improves reactive hyperemia in patients with essential hypertension. It has been reported to prevent coronary vascular remodeling in vivo by suppressing local ACE and increased oxidative stress. In humans temocapril has been found to improve insulin resistance partly by increasing adiponectin levels. Cardiac remodeling was improved by temocapril not only in experiment animals but also in humans. It improves renal function and decreases urinary albumin excretion in diabetics as well as in hypertensive patients. Temocapril is currently marketed only in Japan. Considering its beneficial effects and unique pharmacokinetics, temocapril, is likely to be introduced in other countries as well.|Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors/pharmacokinetics/*pharmacology/*therapeutic use[MESH]|Animals[MESH]|Bile/*metabolism[MESH]|Clinical Trials as Topic[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Hypertension/drug therapy[MESH]|Thiazepines/pharmacokinetics/*pharmacology/*therapeutic use[MESH] |
