Trandolapril

Trandolapril (RU44570) is a nonsulfhydryl prodrug that is hydrolysed to the active diacid Trandolaprilat. Trandolapril is an orally administered angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor that has been used in the treatment of hypertension and congestive heart failure (CHF), and after myocardial infarction (MI)^[1]. IC50 & Target: Target: Angiotensin-converting Enzyme (ACE)^[1] In Vitro: Trandolapril (0.02 mM, 1 mM; 3 d) inhibits cell growth and induces cell apoptosis, increases the percentage of apoptotic cells in K562 cell line^[2].
In Vivo: Trandolapril (3 mg/kg/day; p.o.; 7 d) reduces renal fibrosis in obstructive nephropathy in mice, by inhibiting renal interstitial matrix expression and myofibroblast activation, decreasing renal proinflammatory cytokine RANTES and TNF-α level^[2].
Trandolapril (0.3 mg/kg/day; p.o.; 4 weeks) improves arterial mechanics in rats, prevents arterial hypertrophy, collagen and cellular fibronectin accumulation^[3].
randolapril (0.3 mg/kg/day; p.o.; 4 months) exhibits a chronic anti-hypertension effects in rats, results in blood pressure decreasing^[3].
Trandolapril (0.25 mg/kg; p.o.; twice a day; 4 months) inhibits Atherosclerosis in the Watanabe Heritable Hyperlipidemic Rabbit^[4].
