Notes: Moexipril is a prodrug form of the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor moexiprilat.{33383} It is converted to moexiprilat in vivo by side chain ester hydrolysis.{33382} Moexipril inhibits ACE in a cell-free assay (IC50 = 2.7 µM for the rabbit enzyme).{33383} It also inhibits phosphodiesterase 4 (IC50s = 38, 160, and 230 µM for PDE4B2, PDE4A5, and PDE4D5, respectively).{33382} Moexipril (0.1-30 mg/kg per day) reduces blood pressure in spontaneously hypertensive rats.{33383} It also reduces infarct volume in a rat model of focal cerebral ischemia when used at a concentration of 0.01 mg/kg.{61337}
