The drug is an inhibitor of the enzyme peptidyl. It inhibits the angiotensin-converting enzyme, which catalyzes the conversion of angiotensin I to vasoconstrictor peptide angiotensin II. Angiotensin II also stimulates the secretion of aldosterone by the adrenal cortex. Inhibition of ACE leads to reduced concentrations of angiotensin II, resulting in low aldosterone secretion. The decrease in the latter leads to an increase in the content of potassium in the blood serum. Since the mechanism is believed to be based on the inhibition of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, it reduces blood pressure even in patients with hypertension with low renin levels.
