الخصائص العلاجية:

Quinapril tablets are indicated for the treatment of hypertension. It may be used alone or in combination with thiazide diuretics. In using quinapril, consideration should be given to the fact that another angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, captopril, has caused agranulocytosis, particularly in patients with renal impairment or collagen vascular disease. Available data are insufficient to show that quinapril does not have a similar risk (see WARNINGS ) Black patients receiving ACE inhibitor monotherapy have been reported to have a higher incidence of angioedema compared to non-blacks. It should also be noted that in controlled clinical trials ACE inhibitors have an effect on blood pressure that is less in black patients than in non-blacks. Quinapril tablels are contraindicated in patients who are hypersensitive to this product and in patients with a history of angioedema related to previous treatment with an ACE inhibitor.

phenylpropyl]amino]-1-oxopropyl]-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-3-isoquinolinecarboxylic
acid,
monohydrochloride. Its molecular formula is C
H N O •HCl and its structural formula is:

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Mechanism of Action
Quinapril is deesterified to the principal metabolite, quinaprilat,
which is an inhibitor of ACE activity in
human subjects and animals. ACE is a peptidyl dipeptidase that
catalyzes the conversion of angiotensin I
to the vasoconstrictor, angiotensin II. The effect of quinapril in
hypertension appears to result primarily
from the inhibition of circulating and tissue ACE activity, thereby
reducing angiotensin II formation.
Quinapril inhibits the elevation in blood pressure caused by
intravenously administered angiotensin I,
but has no effect on the pressor response to angiotensin II,
norepinephrine or epinephrine. Angiotensin
II also stimulates the secretion of aldosterone from the adrenal
cortex, thereby facilitating renal sodium
and fluid reabsorption. Reduced aldosterone secreti
