1. Metabolic Enzyme/Protease Apoptosis
  2. Angiotensin-converting Enzyme (ACE) Apoptosis
  3. Moexipril

Moexipril is an orally active inhibitor of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), and becomes effective by being hydrolyzed to moexiprila (hydrochloride). Moexipril exhibits antihypertensive and neuroprotective effects-.

At equivalent molar concentrations, both the salt and free forms of a compound exhibit comparable biological activity. Nevertheless, the salt form (Moexipril hydrochloride) usually boasts enhanced water solubility and stability.

Description

Moexipril is an orally active inhibitor of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), and becomes effective by being hydrolyzed to moexiprila (hydrochloride). Moexipril exhibits antihypertensive and neuroprotective effects[1]-[4].

IC50 & Target

IC50: 2.1 nM (purified ACE from rabbit lung), 1.75 nM (ACE in rat plasma)[3]

In Vitro

Moexipril is devoid of anti-inflammatory properties and has no effect on platelet function[2].
Moexipril hydrolyzes to Moexiprilat, and Moexiprilat inhibits ACE in guinea pig serum as well as on purified ACE from rabbit lung with IC50s of 2.6 nM and 4.9 nM, respectively[2].
Moexipril (0.01 nM-0.1 mM) exhibits high potency against both ACE in rats plasma and purified ACE from rabbit lung, with IC50s of 1.75 nM and 2.1 nM, respectively[3].
Moexipril (0-100 μM, 24 h) significantly reduced the percentage of damaged neurons in a dose-dependent manner[4].
Moexipril (0-100 μM, 24 h) significantly attenuates Fe2+/3+-induced neurotoxicity[4].
Moexipril dose not cause significant changes in the percentage of apoptotic neurons[4].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

Moexipril can not cross the blood-brain barrier[1].
Moexipril (3 mg/kg, 30 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg; p.o.; once daily; 5 days) exhibits a dose-dependent and antihypertensive effects in renal hypertensive rats, spontaneously hypertensive rats and perinephritic hypertensive dogs, respectively[3].
Moexipril (0.3 mg/kg, i.p.) significantly reduces the infarct area on the mouse brain surface in NMRI mice[4].
Moexipril (0.1 mg/kg, i.p.) significantly attenuates the cortical infarct volume in Long-Evans rats[4].

Animal Model: Spontaneously hypertensive rats[3]
Dosage: 30 mg/kg
Administration: Oral gavage; once daily; 5 days
Result: Caused a progressive lowering of mean blood pressure from pretreatment values of 180 +/- 7 mmHg to a trough on day 4 of 127 +/- 4 mmHg.
Dose-dependently decreased arterial blood pressure, and inhibited plasma and tissue ACE activity.
Animal Model: Renal hypertensive rats[3]
Dosage: 0.03-10 mg/kg
Administration: Oral gavage; once daily; 5 days
Result: Caused a dose-dependent decrease in blood pressure with a threshold dose of 0.3 mg/kg.
Lowered mean blood pressure by about 70 mmHg of 3 mg/kg.
Animal Model: Perinephritic hypertensive dogs[3]
Dosage: 10 mg/kg
Administration: Oral gavage; once daily; 5 days
Result: Caused a drop of mean blood pressure by 25 mmHg from pre-treatment control, which persisted for 24 h, by a rapid onset and a long duration of action.
Animal Model: NMRI mice (male, Permanent focal ischemia)[4]
Dosage: 0, 0.03, 0.3, and 3 mg/kg
Administration: Intraperitoneal injection (1 h before middle cerebral artery occlusion)
Result: Significantly reduced the infarct area on the mouse brain surface with a dose of 0.3 mg/kg, and other doses were not effective.
Animal Model: Long-Evans rats (male, Permanent focal ischemia)[4]
Dosage: 0, 0.01, 0.1 mg/kg
Administration: Intraperitoneal injection (1 h before middle cerebral artery occlusion)
Result: Significantly attenuated the cortical infarct volume from 114.4 to 98.2 mm as compared to non-treated animals in a dose of 0.01 mg/kg, without reducing the infarct volume of the rat brain at dosages >0.01 mg/kg.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
