Preferred Name

Perindopril

Definitions
A non-sulfhydryl angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor with antihypertensive activity. Upon hydrolysis, perindopril is converted to its active form perindoprilat, inhibiting ACE and the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II; consequently, angiotensin II-mediated vasoconstriction and angiotensin II-stimulated aldosterone secretion from the adrenal cortex are inhibited and diuresis and natriuresis ensue.
Synonyms
Perindopril
(2S,3aS,7aS)-1-((S)-N-((S)-1-Carboxybutyl)alanyl)hexahydro-2-indolinecarboxylic Acid, 1-ethyl Ester
