Trandolapril: A Clinical Profile

Abstract: Trandolapril is a new angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor that effectively lowers blood pressure in doses up to 2 mg. Only a small additional effect is seen with higher doses. The drug is transformed in vivo to the active metabolite trandolaprilat. When renal function is severely impaired a dose reduction may be necessary because the clearance of trandolaprilat is significantly correlated to creatinine clearance. Trandolapril has a sustained action that is reflected in long-lasting inhibition of ACE,… Show more

“…1,2 Being a prodrug, it is hydrolyzed in the liver to the active diacid metabolite trandolaprilat. [3][4][5][6] Published data of the elimination half-lives of trandolapril and trandolaprilat are in the range of 0.6-6 and 22.5-33.5 hours, respectively, at steady state. Therefore, trandolapril has the longest duration of action among the antihypertensive drugs developed so far.…”
