Neutrophil hypersegmentation in children receiving angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors
The Turkish Journal of Pediatrics, 2008 Captopril and enalapril are the most commonly used angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors in several cardiac diseases in children. On the other hand, the intrinsic renin-angiotensin system in the bone marrow might affect the growth of ...

Cardioprotective potential of angiotensin‐converting enzyme inhibitors [PDF]
Clinical Cardiology, 1991 AbstractAntihypertensive drugs have various effects, both positive and negative, on metabolic and hemodynamic risk factors for coronary artery disease. Cardioprotective effects of angiotensin‐converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors have recently been described.

Inhibition of kinin metabolism and the role of the vascular B₁ kinin receptor in patients with congestive heart failure [PDF]
, 2008 BACKGROUND Angiotensin-converting enzyme and neutral endopeptidase are endothelial metallopeptidases that metabolise bradykinin. Inhibitors of angiotensinconverting enzyme improve symptoms and survival in patients with heart failure and vascular ...

Mitigation of Radiation Induced Pulmonary Vascular Injury by Delayed Treatment with Captopril [PDF]
, 2012 Background and Objective: A single dose of 10 Gy radiation to the thorax of rats results in decreased total lung angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) activity, pulmonary artery distensibility and distal vascular density while increasing pulmonary ...

How conformational changes can affect catalysis, inhibition and drug resistance of enzymes with induced-fit binding mechanism such as the HIV-1 protease [PDF]
, 2013 A central question is how the conformational changes of proteins affect their function and the inhibition of this function by drug molecules. Many enzymes change from an open to a closed conformation upon binding of substrate or inhibitor molecules.

Delayed angioedema during therapy with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors [PDF]
Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2011 Introduction. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors are leading cause of drug-induced angioedema, with incidence of 0.1 to 0.2%. The angioedema is not of immune nature; in predisposed individuals it is caused by accumulation of vasoactive mediators

Optimizing defence, counter-defence and counter-counter defence in parasitic and trophic interactions -- A modelling study [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 In host-pathogen interactions, often the host (attacked organism) defends itself by some toxic compound and the parasite, in turn, responds by producing an enzyme that inactivates that compound. In some cases, the host can respond by producing an inhibitor of that enzyme, which can be considered as a counter-counter defence.

Drug design principles from electric field calculations: understanding SARS-CoV-2 main protease interaction with X77 non-covalent inhibitor [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Fast and effective drug discovery processes rely on rational drug design to circumvent the tedious and expensive trial and error approach. However, accurate predictions of new remedies, which are often enzyme inhibitors, require a clear understanding of the nature and function of the key players governing the interaction between the drug candidate and ...
