Biochem/physiol Actions
Perindopril erbumine is an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor; antihypertensive; becomes hydrolyzed in vivo to the active diacid metabolite; unlike the other ACE inhibitors, inhibits tumor growth in hepatocellular carcinoma cells due to suppression of VEGF levels; also suppresses angiotensin II production in vitro. Long-term therapy with this agent has a beneficial effect on the cerebral circulation by improving cerebral perfusion reserve in patients with previous minor stroke.
