Chemical compound and disease context of Capoten

  • We performed a randomized, controlled trial comparing captopril with placebo in patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus in whom urinary protein excretion was > or = 500 mg per day and the serum creatinine concentration was < or = 2.5 mg per deciliter (221 mumol per liter) [14].
  • Captopril is an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor used in the management of hypertension and ventricular failure; to our knowledge, this is the first case of an acute captopril overdose reported in the English-language literature [16].
  • Comparison of antihypertensive effects of captopril and propranolol in essential hypertension [17].
  • In a six month placebo-controlled cross-over trial twenty patients with hypertension and peripheral arterial disease were randomised to captopril 25 mg twice daily, atenolol 100 mg once daily, labetalol 200 mg twice daily, or pindolol 10 mg twice daily for one month [18].
  • RESULTS: Captopril treatment significantly reduced hepatic hydroxyproline levels, mean fibrosis score, steady state messenger RNA levels of TGF-beta1 and procollagen alpha1(I), and matrix metalloproteinase 2 and 9 activity [19].
 

Biological context of Capoten

 

Anatomical context of Capoten

  • In a subset of 36 patients who were at high risk for ventricular enlargement because they had persistent occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery, captopril prevented further ventricular dilatation (P less than 0.05) [2].
  • During one year of follow-up, the end-diastolic volume of the left ventricle increased by a mean [+/- SEM] of 21 +/- 8 ml (P less than 0.02) in the placebo group, but by only 10 +/- 6 ml (P not significant) in the captopril group [2].
  • Of these patients, those receiving captopril had a collagen type I:III ratio of 1.49 +/- 0.38, which did not differ significantly from the ratio of individuals with normal myocardium [24].
  • Captopril acted directly and specifically on capillary endothelial cells, inhibiting their chemotaxis with a biphasic dose-response curve showing an initial decrease at clinically achievable doses under 10 microM and a further slow decline in the millimolar range [25].
  • To clarify the relationship between the renin-angiotensin axis and sympathetic nervous system in the accelerated hypertensives, we measured the MSNA after 7 d of oral administration of captopril (75 mg/d) for antihypertensive treatment in the benign hypertensives and accelerated hypertensives [26].
