Zofenopril calcium

Zofenopril is a long-lasting, lipophilic ACE inhibitor with cardioprotective properties indicated for the treatment of hypertension. Zofenopril is also an inhibitor of PEPT2, the predominant peptide transporter in kidney and choroid plexus. zofenopril increases SR calcium cycling and stimulates active calcium uptake into the SR. In small studies, zofenopril appeared significantly more effective than the older antihypertensives atenolol and enalapril, and was associated with fewer adverse effects.
