Ramiprilat is the active metabolite of ramipril (Item No. 15558) and functions as an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (pKi = 9.08 in human heart) to suppress the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II and the degradation of bradykinin, thereby preventing vasoconstriction.1,2 Furthermore, ramiprilat is reported to interfere with the targeting of B2 kinin receptors to endothelial cell membranes further preventing bradykinin signaling.2 In addition to its cardioprotective effects in both animal models and clinical studies, ramiprilat has been reported to inhibit matrix metalloproteinase-3 and -9 activity in isolated Crohn’s disease fistulas.3,4
