Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Enalapril maleate is an effective and potent angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor that is used to treat hypertension and heart failure. The compound has been used to study diabetic angiopathy in diabetic rats and inhibition of ACE in hog plasma. ACE inhibitors disturb the enin-angiotensin- aldosterone system. As a prodrug, enalapril is converted by de-esterification into its active form enalaprilat. Enalaprilat 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 and results in vasodilation. Enalapril also decreases angiotensin II-induced aldosterone secretion by the adrenal cortex, which leads to an increase in sodium excretion and subsequently increases water outflow.

Product Data
Biological target:
Enalapril (maleate) (MK-421 (maleate)), the active metabolite of enalapril, is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor.
In vitro activity:
Enalapril significantly inhibited LPS-induced IκBα phosphorylation/degradation, NF-κB binding activity, and pro-inflammatory cytokine production in both IEC and peritoneal macrophages. The administration of enalapril significantly reduced the severity of colitis, as assessed based on histology in both murine colitis models. Furthermore, in colon tissue, the up-regulation of IκBα phosphorylation with colitis induction was attenuated in enalapril-treated mice. Reference: Life Sci. 2014 Jan 24;95(1):29-39. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24239644/
In vivo activity:
Enalapril (ENAL) was efficient in decreasing steatosis in mice fed a hyperlipidemic diet, histological observation of hepatic tissue showed a considerable increase of dispersed fat droplets in the liver of HF animals and a statistically significant lower mean in the HF + ENAL group (p = 0.0123) (Fig. 3D; E).
