Description:
Captopril is a white to off-white crystalline powder that may have a slight sulfurous odor; it is soluble in water, methanol, and ethanol and sparingly soluble in chloroform and ethyl acetate. Captopril is a blood pressure-lowering medication which belongs to the class of agents known as angiotensin converting enzyme (or ACE) inhibitors. It blocks the effects of the enzyme which forms angiotensin, the end-product of renin.Captopril is used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure. It decreases certain chemicals that tighten the blood vessels, so blood flows more smoothly and the heart can pump blood more efficiently.
