Ramipril (sold under the brand name Altace ) is a prodrug belonging to the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. It is metabolized to ramiprilat in the liver and, to a lesser extent, kidneys. Ramiprilat is a potent, competitive inhibitor of ACE, the enzyme responsible for the conversion of angiotensin I (ATI) to angiotensin II (ATII). ATII regulates blood pressure and is a key component of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). Ramipril is indicated for the treatment of hypertension, to lower blood pressure; also used to reduce the risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, or death from cardiovascular causes; in addition, this drug is used to reduce the rate of death, myocardial infarction and stroke in individuals at high risk of cardiovascular events.

Primary | ALTACE Approved UseReduction in Risk of Myocardial Infarction, Stroke, and Death from Cardiovascular Causes Ramipril capsules are indicated in patients 55 years or older at high risk of developing a major cardiovascular event because of a history of coronary artery disease, stroke, peripheral vascular disease, or diabetes that is accompanied by at least one other cardiovascular risk factor (hypertension, elevated total cholesterol levels, low HDL levels, cigarette smoking, or documented microalbuminuria), to reduce the risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, or death from cardiovascular causes. Ramipril capsules can be used in addition to other needed treatment (such as antihypertensive, antiplatelet or lipid-lowering therapy). Hypertension Ramipril capsules are indicated for the treatment of hypertension. It may be used alone or in combination with thiazide diuretics. In using ramipril capsules, consideration should be given to the fact that another angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor, captopril, has caused agranulocytosis, particularly in patients with renal impairment or collagen-vascular disease. Available data are insufficient to show that ramipril capsules do not have a similar risk. (See WARNINGS.) In considering use of ramipril capsules, it should be noted that in controlled trials ACE inhibitors have an effect on blood pressure that is less in black patients than in non-blacks. In addition, ACE inhibitors (for which adequate data are available) cause a higher rate of angioedema in black than in non-black patients. (See WARNINGS, Angioedema.) Launch Date1991 |

Sample Use Guides
Hypertension: The recommended initial dose for patients not receiving a diuretic is 2.5 mg once a day. Adjust dose according to blood pressure response. The usual maintenance dosage range is 2.5 mg to 20 mg per day administered as a single dose or in two.
Myocardial Infarction, Stroke, and Death from Cardiovascular Causes: Initiate dosing at 2.5 mg once daily for 1 week, 5 mg once daily for the next 3 weeks, and then increase as tolerated, to a maintenance dose of 10 mg once daily.
equally divided doses. In some patients treated once daily, the antihypertensive effect may diminish toward the end of the dosing interval.
Heart Failure Post-Myocardial Infarction: the recommended starting dose is 2.5 mg twice daily (5 mg per day). A patient who becomes hypotensive at this dose may be switched to 1.25 mg twice daily. After one week at the starting dose, increase dose (if tolerated) toward a target dose of 5 mg twice daily, with dosage increases being about 3 weeks apart.

Curator's Comment: The effect of ramipril on DNA synthesis, cell proliferation and PDGF A and B chain gene expression in fetal calf serum (FCS)-activated cultured human glomerular mesangial cells was investigated. Ramipril significantly reduced FCS-induced PDGF A and B chain gene expression, completely abolished the PDGF A and B chain gene expression induced by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, a specific protein kinase C activator, suggesting a site of action downstream of this enzyme in the mitogenic signal transduction pathway.
