Chapter 16: Drugs Affecting the Cardiovascular & Renal Systems Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI or ACE Inhibitors) o Drugs: benazepril, captopril, enalapril, fosinopril, lisinopril, and moexipril, perindopril, quinapril, ramipril, trandolapril o Pharmacodynamics: o MOA: Slows or inhibits the angiotensin converting enzyme which then decrease how much angiotensin II (AT II) is produced thus lowering BP o Inhibit RAAS activity=decreased production of both angiotensin II and aldos...
