Moexipril Brand Name– Univasc
What is Moexipril
Moexipril is classified as an oral angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor and is used to treat hypertension.
Like quinapril and ramipril, the active moiety of moexipril is produced by deesterification from the prodrug.
Moexiprilat, is about 1000 times more potent than its prodrug moexipril. Prolonged antihypertensive effects allow for once-daily dosing.
Unlike captopril, moexipril does not contain a sulfhydryl group, which has implications regarding the drug’s adverse reaction profile.
Moexipril was approved by the FDA on April 19, 1995.
