  CAPTOPRIL(ACE) :Mechanism ofaction: Inhibit angiotensin I to angiotensin II convertion.  Decreased plasma angiotensin II.  Increased plasma renin activity (PRA) resulting from loss of negative feedback on renin release.  Decreased aldosterone secretion.  small increases in serum potassium with sodium and fluid loss.

  Why ACE inhibitorscauses Cough ?
• 16.
  Therapeutic Uses • Anti-hypertensive •Prevent or reverse LVH • Protect against sudden death and second myocardial infarction after acute MI • Improve survival and hemodynamics in patients with congestive heart failure • Protect against progression of diabetic and non-diabetic nephropathy
• 17.
  Side Effects/Contraindications • Common –Dry Cough • 5 – 20% of patients • Not dose-related; occurs within 1 wk. – 6 mo. • Women > men • May Require cessation of therapy – Fetopathic Potential • Not teratogenic in 1st trimester • Developmental defects in 2nd or 3rd trimester • Rare – Angioneurotic Edema (or Angioedema) • ~0.1 - 0.5% of patients • Not dose-related; occurs within 1st week • Severe swelling of mouth, tongue, lips, airway • may be life-threatening
• 18.
  Side Effects/Contraindications • Rare –Hypotension • First dose effect in patients with elevated PRA, salt depletion, CHF – Hyperkalemia • In patients with renal insufficiency, diabetic nephropathy – Acute Renal Failure • Patients with renal stenosis, heart failure, volume depleted – Skin Rash • Extremely Rare (reversible) – Alteration/loss of taste – Neutropenia – Glycosuria – Hepatotoxicity
• 19.
  Drug Interactions – Antacids •May reduce bioavailability of ACE inhibitors – Capsaicin • May worsen ACE inhibitor-induced cough – NSAIDs • May reduce antihypertensive response to ACE inhibitors – K+ -sparing Diuretics or K+ supplements • May exacerbate ACE inhibitor-induced hyperkalemia
• 20.
  ENALAPRIL Mechanism ofaction: Prodrug which, when hydrolyzed by estarases to its active Enalaprilat.  blocking the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II.  As angiotensin II is a vasoconstrictor and a negative-feedback mediator for renin activity, lower concentrations result in a decrease in blood pressure.  act on kininase II,that degrades the vasodilator bradykinin.

• 46.
  Difference between ACEinhibitors and ARBs? ARBs do not increase bradykinin and thus have less chances of causing cough and angioedema as compared to ACE inhibitors
