IUPAC name: (2S)-1-[(2S)-2-[[(2S)-1-ethoxy-1-oxo-4-phenylbutan-2-yl]amino]propanoyl]pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid

ChEBI definition: A dicarboxylic acid monoester that is ethyl 4-phenylbutanoate in which a hydrogen α to the carboxy group is substituted by the amino group of L-alanyl-L-proline (S-configuration).

Pharmacological roles (ChEBI): prodrug, EC 3.4.15.1 (peptidyl-dipeptidase A) inhibitor, antihypertensive agent, geroprotector.

Also known as: C09AA02, Enalapril, Lexxel, Olinapril, Vaseretic, enalapril, SID11112847, SID29214998, ENALAPRIL, SID170464969, SID144204423, ENALAPRIL MALEATE

Parent form; salt/anhydrous children: CHEMBL1200659

Patent coverage: 14,363 distinct patent families (52,784 SureChEMBL compound mentions), from 1 matched compound structure(s). Mentions count patents naming the compound (not distinct inventions), so promiscuous / reference molecules inflate the mention figure — families are the dedup metric.

Pharmacology

Pharmacogenomics

No PharmGKB pharmacogenomic data curated for this drug.

Molecules sharing ≥1 of this drug’s curated primary targets, merged from two biobtree sources and ranked by shared-target count, then clinical phase: ChEMBL clinical-stage candidates (development phase ≥2) and PubChem drug-class bioactivity (approved / known drugs acting on the target). Deduplicated by drug name; the drug’s own salt forms are excluded. Note: for a drug with few primary targets a shared-target match can reflect off-target / promiscuous binding rather than the same therapeutic mechanism — the phase ordering surfaces bona-fide therapeutics first.
