Abstract

Zofenopril belongs to lipophilic ACE-inhibitors, which contain sulfhydryl group. There are evidences that zofenopril in comparison with other ACE-inhibitors posses high, tissue ACE-inhibitory activity. Beneficial effect of drug is especially prolonged in heart tissue and vascular bed. Zofenopril exerts many beneficial effects listed in subsequent points. Among others these are: improvement of endothelial function, anti-inflammatory activity, increas of local NO production and reduction of metabolic and hemodynamic effects of heart muscle ischemia. Effectiveness of zofenopril was confirmed in studies in many groups of patients.
