Alacepril is a long-acting, sulfhydryl-containing angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor with antihypertensive activity. As a prodrug, alacepril is rapidly metabolized to captopril; captopril competitively binds to and inhibits ACE, thereby blocking the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II. It is grouped under the following drug class(es): ACE Inhibitors. Its therapeutic use is listed as cardiovascular. The directory classifies it as a commercial API with a synthetic source/manufacturing origin. Other names for this substance include Cetapril, aracepril and Alaceprilum. Its PubChem CID is 71992.
