Which drugs are ACE inhibitors and ARBs?
Which medications are ACE inhibitors and ARBs? ACE inhibitors, or angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, include lisinopril (Zestril), benazepril (Lotensin), and enalapril (Vasotec). ARBs, or angiotensin-receptor blockers, include losartan (Cozaar), valsartan (Diovan), and irbesartan (Avapro).
Which drug belong to category of ACE inhibitors?
Examples of ACE inhibitors include:
- Benazepril (Lotensin)
- Captopril.
- Enalapril (Vasotec)
- Fosinopril.
- Lisinopril (Prinivil, Zestril)
- Moexipril.
- Perindopril.
- Quinapril (Accupril)
Which is better ACE or ARBs?
ARBs are as effective as ACE inhibitors and have a better tolerability profile. ACE inhibitors cause more angioedema in African Americans and more cough in Chinese Americans than in the rest of the population. ACE inhibitors and most ARBs (except for losartan) increase the risk of gout.
Is amlodipine an ACE or ARB?
Amlodipine relaxes (widens) blood vessels and improves blood flow. Benazepril is an ACE inhibitor. ACE stands for angiotensin converting enzyme….Similar Drugs.

What is the newest ARB?
The FDA has approved azilsartan medoxomil (Edarbi), an oral angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) for hypertension, expanding the ranks of ARBs now available to U.S. patients.
Do ARBs increase creatinine?
Many such patients experience a transient rise in serum creatinine levels after treatment with an ACEI or angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) is started or after blood pressure is adequately reduced. A rise in the serum creatinine level consequently leads to physician reticence to stay the course with a given therapy.
What is the aminopeptide sequence for Saralasin?
The aminopeptide sequence for saralasin differs from angiotensin II at three sites. At position 1, sarcosine is replaced by aspartic acid increasing the affinity for vascular smooth muscle receptors and making the peptide resistant to degradation by aminopeptidases Pals et al (1979).
Is Saralasin an angiotensin II antagonist?
Saralasin is a competitive angiotensin II receptor antagonist with partial agonist activity. The aminopeptide sequence for saralasin differs from angiotensin II at three sites.
