Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) removes the C-terminal dipeptide from angiotensin I to form angiotensin II, a powerful vasoconstrictor. ACE is a key regulator of the renin-angiotensin system and an important drug target for the treatment of hypertension, congestive heart failure, and heart attacks, and also in preventing renal and retinal complications in diabetes.1 Lisinopril is a potent ACE inhibitor that blocks the formation of angiotensin I with an IC50 value of 1.2 nM (ovine) and displays ID50 values of 2.3 and 6.5 µg/kg in rat and canine, respectively.2 At 0.1 nM lisinopril reduces the formation of endothelin-1 and increases nitric oxide in human vascular endothelial cells.3
