OmapatrilatThis page contains recent news articles, when available, and an overview of Omapatrilat but does not offer medical advice. You should contact your physician with regard to any health issues or concerns.Overview: Omapatrilat (when available) Omapatrilat is used to treat hypertension. Vasopeptidase inhibitor that simultaneously inhibits angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and neutral endopeptidase (NEP). Omapatrilat lowers blood pressure by inhibiting the action of the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE), which causes blood vessels to constrict. But unlike other drugs, omapatrilat also inhibits another enzyme known as neutral endopeptidase (NEP), which helps blood vessels relax. Omapatrilat demonstrated greater reduction in blood pressure than the ACE inhibitor lisinopril in individuals with salt-sensitive hypertension who typically do not respond well to ACE inhibitors. For the treatment of hypertension Mechanism Of Action: Omapatrilat binds to both angiotensin converting enzyme and neutral endopeptidase. This results in a decrease renin-angiotensin-aldosterone production and increase natriuretic peptidase circulation.
