Active ingredients

The drug ACETEC contains one active pharmaceutical ingredient (API):

UNII 69PN84IO1A - ENALAPRIL

Enalapril is a derivative of two amino-acids, L-alanine and L-proline. After absorption, enalapril is hydrolysed to enalaprilat, which inhibits ACE. Inhibition of ACE results in decreased plasma angiotensin II, which leads to increased plasma renin activity (due to removal of negative feedback of renin release), and decreased aldosterone secretion.
