Trandolapril is a prodrug form of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor trandolaprilat (Item No. 29577).1 Trandolapril is converted to trandolaprilat by carboxylesterase 1 (CES1) in human liver microsomes. It inhibits angiotensin I-induced pressor responses in rats and dogs (ID50s = 13.1 and 21.1 μg/kg, respectively) and potentiates the bradykinin-induced depressor response in rats (ED50 = 5.5 μg/kg).2 Trandolapril (0.1, 0.3, and 1 mg/kg) decreases systolic and diastolic arterial pressure in dogs. It decreases mean arterial pressure (MAP) and left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) in a rat model of heart failure induced by left coronary artery occlusion when administered at a dose of 3 mg/kg.3 Trandolapril (0.01 and 1 mg/kg) increases survival in stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats fed a high-salt diet.4 Formulations containing trandolapril have been used in the treatment of hypertension.
