Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects Click here for help
Binds to angeotensin-converting enzyme and thereby competes with the binding of angiotensin I, inhibiting its conversion to angiotensin II. The resulting decreased levels of angiotensin II leads to decreased blood pressure and an increase in plama renin activity.
