Repositioning Candidate Details

Candidate ID: R0209
Source ID: DB00722
Source Type: approved; investigational
Compound Type: small molecule
Compound Name: Lisinopril
Synonyms:
Molecular Formula: C21H31N3O5
SMILES: NCCCC[C@H](N[C@@H](CCC1=CC=CC=C1)C(O)=O)C(=O)N1CCC[C@H]1C(O)=O
Structure:
DrugBank Description: Lisinopril is an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) used to treat hypertension, heart failure, and myocardial infarction.[L8384,L8387,L8390] Lisinopril and [captopril] are the only ACEIs that are not prodrugs.[A184853] It functions by inhibition of angiotensin converting enzyme as well as the renin angiotensin aldosterone system.[A184781,A184808,A184817] ACEIs are commonly used as a first line therapy in the treatment of hypertension, along with thiazide diuretics or beta blockers.[A184844] Lisinopril was granted FDA approval on 29 December 1987.[L8384]
CAS Number: 76547-98-3
Molecular Weight: 405.4879
DrugBank Indication: Lisinopril is indicated for the treatment of acute myocardial infarction, hypertension in patients ≥6 years, and as an adjunct therapy for heart failure.[L8384,L8387] A combination product with hydrochlorothiazide is indicated for the treatment of hypertension.[L8390]
DrugBank Pharmacology: Lisinopril is an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor used to treat hypertension, heart failure, and myocardial infarction.[L8384,L8387,L8390] Lisinopril is not a prodrug, and functions by inhibition of angiotensin converting enzyme as well as the renin angiotensin aldosterone system.[A184781,A184808,A184817] It has a wide therapeutic index and a long duration of action as patients are generally given 10-80mg daily.[L8384,L8387,L8390]
DrugBank MoA: Angiotensin II constricts coronary blood vessels and is positively inotropic, which under normal circumstances, would increase vascular resistance and oxygen consumption.[A184781] This action can eventually lead to myocyte hypertrophy and vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation.[A184781] Lisinopril is an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI), preventing the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II.[A184781,A184808] This action prevents myocyte hypertrophy and vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation seen in untreated patients.[A184808] Increased levels of bradykinin also exhibit vasodilating effects for patients taking ACEIs.[A184808] Lisinopril also inhibits renin's conversion of angiotensin to angiotensin I.[A184817]
Targets: Angiotensin-converting enzyme; Renin
