PHARMACOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION
Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitor
ACTION AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
pms-BENAZEPRIL (benazepril HC1) is an angiotensin converting enzyme
(ACE) inhibitor
which is used in the treatment of hypertension.
Benazepril, after hydrolytic bioactivation to benazeprilat, inhibits
angiotensin converting enzyme
(ACE), a peptidyl dipeptidase catalyzing the conversion of angiotensin
I to the vasoconstrictor
angiotensin II. Angiotensin II also stimulates aldosterone secretion
by the adrenal cortex, leading
to sodium resorption and potassium secretion by the distal renal
tubules.
Inhibition
of
ACE
results
in
a
decrease
in
plasma
angiotensin
II,
leading
to
decreased
vasoconstriction
and
a
small
decrease
in
aldosterone
secretion
and
plasma
aldosterone
concentrations. Although the decrease in aldosterone is small, it can
result in small increases in
serum potassium. Slight increases in serum potassium have been
observed in some hypertensive
patients treated with benazepril alone. Essentially no change in mean
serum potassium was seen
in patients treated with benazepril and a thiazide diuretic (see
Precautions).
Removal of inhibition of renin secretion by angiotensin II leads to
increased plasma renin
activity (due to removal of negative feedback of renin release).
ACE is identical to kininase II. Thus, benazepril may interfere with
degradation of the potent
peptide vasodilator, bradykinin. Whether increased levels of
bradykinin play a role in the
therapeutic effects of benazepril is unknown.
While the mechanism through which benazepril lowers blood pressure is
believed to be primarily
suppression of the renin-angiote
