Preferred Name

Cilazapril Anhydrous
Synonyms
Definitions

The anhydrous form of the pyridazine angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor cilazapril with antihypertensive activity. As a prodrug cilazapril is rapidly metabolized in the liver to cilazaprilat; cilazaprilat competitively binds to and inhibits ACE, thereby blocking the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II. This prevents the potent vasoconstrictive actions of angiotensin II, resulting in vasodilation. Cilazaprilat also decreases angiotensin II-induced aldosterone secretion by the adrenal cortex, which leads to an increase in sodium excretion and subsequently increases water outflow.
