Benazepril
Identification
- Summary
Benazepril is an ACE inhibitor prodrug used to treat hypertension.
- Brand Names
- Amlobenz, Lotensin, Lotensin Hct, Lotrel
- Generic Name
- Benazepril
- DrugBank Accession Number
- DB00542
- Background
Benazepril, brand name Lotensin, is a medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), congestive heart failure, and chronic renal failure3,2. Upon cleavage of its ester group by the liver, benazepril is converted into its active form benazeprilat, a non-sulfhydryl angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor1.

- Pharmacodynamics
Benazepril, an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, is a prodrug which, when hydrolyzed by esterases to its active Benazeprilat1, is used to treat hypertension and heart failure, to reduce proteinuria and renal disease in patients with nephropathies, and to prevent stroke, myocardial infarction, and cardiac death in high-risk patients5,3,2. Benazepril and Benazeprilat inhibit angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) in human subjects and animals5,1. ACE is a peptidyl dipeptidase that catalyzes the conversion of angiotensin I to the vasoconstrictor substance, angiotensin IILabel. Angiotensin II also stimulates aldosterone secretion by the adrenal cortexLabel.
- Mechanism of action
Benazeprilat, the active metabolite of Benazepril, competes with angiotensin I for binding at the angiotensin-converting enzyme, blocking the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin IILabel. Inhibition of ACE results in decreased plasma angiotensin IILabel. As angiotensin II is a vasoconstrictor and a negative-feedback mediator for renin activity, lower concentrations result in a decrease in blood pressure and stimulation of baroreceptor reflex mechanisms, which leads to decreased vasopressor activity and to decreased aldosterone secretionLabel.
Target Actions Organism AAngiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitorHumans - Absorption
Bioavailability of oral dosing is 3% to 4% in horses6. In humans at least 37% of oral benazepril is absorbed and reaches peak plasma concentration in 0.5 hours to 1 hour7. Other studies have shown a peak plasma concentration at a median of 1.5 hours1.
- Volume of distribution
The final population pharmacokinetic model in one study estimated the volume of distribution to be 203±69.9L11.
- Protein binding
Benazepril is 96.7% protein bound while benazeprilat is 95.3% protein boundLabel.
- Metabolism
Cleavage of the ester group (primarily in the liver) converts benazepril to its active metabolite, benazeprilatLabel. Benazepril and benazeprilat are conjugated to glucuronic acid prior to urinary excretionLabel.

- Route of elimination
Benazepril and benazeprilat are cleared predominantly by renal excretion in healthy subjects with normal renal functionLabel. Nonrenal (i.e., biliary) excretion accounts for approximately 11%-12% of benazeprilat excretion in healthy subjectsLabel.
- Half-life
The half life of the prodrug benazepril is 2.7±8.5h1. The half life of the active metabolite benazeprilat is 22.3±9.2h1 The accumulation half life of benazepril is 10 to 11 hoursLabel1.
- Clearance
The final population pharmacokinetic model of one study estimates the clearance to be 129±30.0L11.

interactions in your softwareAbaloparatide The risk or severity of adverse effects can be increased when Benazepril is combined with Abaloparatide. Acarbose The risk or severity of hypoglycemia can be increased when Benazepril is combined with Acarbose. Acebutolol Benazepril may increase the hypotensive activities of Acebutolol. Aceclofenac The risk or severity of renal failure, hyperkalemia, and hypertension can be increased when Aceclofenac is combined with Benazepril. Acemetacin The risk or severity of renal failure, hyperkalemia, and hypertension can be increased when Acemetacin is combined with Benazepril. - Food Interactions
- Avoid potassium-containing products. Potassium products increase the risk of hyperkalemia.
- Take with or without food. Food slows the rate of absorption but not the extent.
