Biological description

Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor (IC50 = 0.022µM) which also inhibits LTA4 hydrolase in a reversible and competitive manner.

Shows antihypertensive and vasodilatory effects

Orally active.

Recently studied as part of COVID-19 compound repurposing.

Solubility & Handling

Storage instructions +4°C
Solubility overview Soluble in water (100mM) and in DMSO (100mM)
Handling In aqueous solution, Captopril undergoes a free radical dimerisation to form captopril disulfide. To delay oxidation, use a lower pH, degas solution, minimize headspace, increase the concentration or incorporate a chelating agent or antioxidant.
