 Context examples 


Irbesartan selectively and competitively blocks the binding of angiotensin II to the angiotensin I receptor.

(Irbesartan, NCI Thesaurus)

Libenzapril competitively binds to and inhibits ACE, thereby blocking the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II.

(Libenzapril, NCI Thesaurus)

Imidaprilat competitively binds to and inhibits ACE, thereby blocking the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II.

(Imidapril, NCI Thesaurus)

Any substance that inhibits angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II.

(ACE inhibitor, NCI Thesaurus)

Enalaprilat prevents the conversion of angiotensin I into angiotensin II by inhibiting ACE, thereby leading to decreased vasopressor activity and resulting in vasodilation.

(Enalaprilat, NCI Thesaurus)

Lisinopril, a synthetic peptide derivative, competitively binds to and inhibits ACE, thereby blocking the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II.

(Lisinopril Anhydrous, NCI Thesaurus)

Losartan potassium selectively and competitively blocks the binding of angiotensin II to the angiotensin I (AT1) receptor.

(Losartan, NCI Thesaurus)

Upon hydrolysis, the free SH metabolite of pivopril competitively binds to and inhibits ACE, thereby blocking the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II.

(Pivopril, NCI Thesaurus)

Perindoprilat inhibits ACE and, thus, the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II; consequently, angiotensin II-mediated vasoconstriction and angiotensin II-stimulated aldosterone secretion from the adrenal cortex are inhibited and diuresis and natriuresis ensue.

(Perindoprilat, NCI Thesaurus)

As a prodrug, pentopril is hydrolyzed into its active form pentoprilat, which competitively inhibits ACE, thereby blocking the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II.

(Pentopril, NCI Thesaurus)
