1-3) Angioedema due to ACE inhibitors appears to be linked to the decreased degradation of bradykinin because ACE, also known as kininase II, not only activates angiotensin I but also inactivates bradykinin. CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY Mechanism of Action Angiotensin II [formed from angiotensin I in a reaction catalyzed by angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE, kininase II)], is a potent vasoconstrictor, the primary vasoactive hormone of the renin-angiotensin system and an important component in the pathophysiology of hypertension. Angiotensin-converting Enzyme ACE, also known as kininase II, is a bivalent dipeptidyl carboxyl zinc metalloproteinase that catalyzes the conversion of angiotensin I to the potent vasoconstrictor, angiotensin II. |
