The beneficial effects of zofenopril in hypertension and acute myocardial infarction appear to result primarily from the suppression of the plasma renin-angiotensin aldosterone system. Inhibition of ACE (Ki 0.4nM in rabbit lung for arginine salt of zofenoprilat) results in decreased plasma angiotensin II, which leads to decreased vasopressor activity and to reduced aldosterone secretion. |
