 |  | Quinapril Usage And Synthesis |  
 | Description | Quinapril is an orally active, non-sulfhydryl ACE inhibitor reportedly useful in the
treatment of essential hypertension. The main claimed advantage of quinapril compared
with other available ACE inhibitors is its side-effect profile. It is also effective in the management of congestive heart failure. |  | Originator | Warner-Lambert (USA) |  | Uses | Antihypertensive; enzyme inhibitor (angiotensin-converting). |  | Definition | ChEBI: Quinapril is a member of the class of isoquinolines that is (3S)-2-L-alanyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid in which the alpha-amino group of the alanyl residue has been substituted by a 1-ethoxycarbonyl-4-phenylbutan-2-yl group (the all-S isomer). A prodrug for quinaprilat (by hydrolysis of the ethyl ester to the corresponding carboxylic acid), it is used as an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACE inhibitor) used (generally as the hydrochloride salt) for the treatment of hypertension and congestive heart failure. It has a role as an EC 3.4.15.1 (peptidyl-dipeptidase A) inhibitor, a prodrug and an antihypertensive agent. It is a member of isoquinolines, a dicarboxylic acid monoester, an ethyl ester and a tertiary carboxamide. |  | Brand name | Accupril (Pfizer); Quinapril (Lupin); Quinapril (Ranbaxy)

 Hypertension
 Congestive heart failure |  | Drug interactions | Potentially hazardous interactions with other drugs
  Anaesthetics: enhanced hypotensive effect.
  Analgesics: antagonism of hypotensive effect and 
increased risk of renal impairment with NSAIDs; 
hyperkalaemia with ketorolac and other NSAIDs.
  Antihypertensives: increased risk of hyperkalaemia, 
hypotension and renal failure with ARBs and 
aliskiren.
  Bee venom extract: possible severe anaphylactoid 
reactions when used together.
  Ciclosporin: increased risk of hyperkalaemia and 
nephrotoxicity.
  Cytotoxics: increased risk of angioedema with 
everolimus.
  Diuretics: enhanced hypotensive effect; 
hyperkalaemia with potassium-sparing diuretics.
  ESAs: increased risk of hyperkalaemia; antagonism 
of hypotensive effect.
  Gold: flushing and hypotension with sodium 
aurothiomalate.
  Lithium: reduced excretion (possibility of enhanced 
lithium toxicity).
  Potassium salts: increased risk of hyperkalaemia.
  Tacrolimus: increased risk of hyperkalaemia and 
nephrotoxicity. |  | Metabolism | Quniapril is a prodrug which is metabolised in the liver 
to its active form, quinaprilat, and to minor inactive 
metabolites. 
Quinaprilat is eliminated primarily by renal excretion. |
