Enalapril is a ACE (angiotensin-converting enzyme) inhibitor, suggested to be more potent than Captopril (sc-200566). Studies indicate that Enalapril downregulates the expression of IL-β, IL-6, and NF-κB. Further studies show that Enalapril upregulates the expression of VEGF and heme oxygenase-1. Enalaprilat reports demonstrate that the compound has some antioxidant activity, which does not include the PKC-NADPH oxidase pathway.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
