Quinaprilat (hydrate)

Quinaprilat hydrate is a non-mercapto Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, the active metabolite of Quinapril. Quinaprilat hydrate specifically blocks the conversion of angiotensin I to the vasoconstrictor angiotensin II and inhibits the degradation of bradykinin. Quinaprilat hydrate acts as anti-hypertensive agent and vasodilator[1][2].
