tcsc2918 Enalapril

Enalapril is an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor

Target: ACE

Enalapril belongs to a class of medications called angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors. Normally angiotensin I is converted to angiotensin II by angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE). Angiotensin II constricts blood vessels, increasing blood pressure. By inhibiting ACE, Enalapril decreases levels of angiotensin II leading to less vasoconstriction and decreased blood pressure.
