Description

General description

An antihypertensive agent that competitively inhibits angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE; IC₅₀= 23-35 nM) and acts as a reversible and competitive inhibitor of LTA₄ hydrolase (IC₅₀ = 11 µM). Inhibits angiogenesis and slows the growth of experimental tumors in rats. Reported to inhibit apoptosis in human lung epithelial cells (IC₅₀ = ~ 320 nM).

An antihypertensive agent. Reversible and competitive inhibitor of LTA₄ hydrolase (IC₅₀ = 11 µM). Also a competitive inhibitor of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). Inhibits angiogenesis and slows the growth of experimental tumors in rats.
