Q

ANGIOTENSIN-CONVERTING ENZYME INHIBITORS (ACEI)
Mechanism of action
• ACE catalyses the cleavage of a pair of amino acids from short peptides, thereby ‘converting’ the inactive ——— angiotensin I to the potent ——— angiotensin II .
• It also inactivates ——— – a vasodilator peptide.
• ACEI lower blood pressure by reducing ———- and perhaps also by increasing ———- peptides, such as ———.
• Angiotensin II causes ——— secretion from the zona glomerulosa of the ——— and inhibition of this contributes to the antihypertensive effect of ACE inhibitors.

Mechanism of action
• ACE catalyses the cleavage of a pair of amino acids from short peptides, thereby ‘converting’ the inactive decapeptide angiotensin I to the potent vasoconstrictor angiotensin II .
• It also inactivates bradykinin – a vasodilator peptide.
• ACEI lower blood pressure by reducing angiotensin II and perhaps also by increasing vasodilator peptides, such as bradykinin.
• Angiotensin II causes aldosterone secretion from the zona glomerulosa of the adrenal cortex and inhibition of this contributes to the antihypertensive effect of ACE inhibitors.
