Cilazapril  (Synonyms: Ro 31-2848)

Cilazapril is an orally active prodrug of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor Cilazaprilat (HY-A0113). Cilazapril reduces plasma ACE activity. Cilazapril can be used in the research of hypertension (including essential and renal hypertension) and congestive heart failure^{[1][2][3][4][5]}.

Cilazapril (0.1 mg/kg; p.o.) evokes the same maximum degree of plasma ACE inhibition (-76%) in rats as 0.25 mg/kg Enalapril (HY-B0331)^[1].
Cilazapril (0.1-0.3 mg/kg orally) dose-dependently reduces plasma ACE activity and the pressor response to angiotensin in cats^[1].
Cilazapril (10 mg/kg orally twice daily for 3.5 days) gradually reduces blood pressure in dogs with volume-depleted renal hypertension.
Cilazapril (10 mg/kg; p.o.; 2 weeks) decreases blood pressure, reduces heart weight to body weight ratio, and improves postischemic myocardial function in hyperthyroid rats^[3].
