Utilization of Angiotensin-Converting-Enzyme Inhibitors in the Treatment of Diabetics Within an Out-Patient Care FacilityTitus, Timothy January 2005 (has links)
Class of 2005 Abstract / Objective: The purpose of this study was to retrospectively determine if individuals within the SAVAHCS home-based patient population with a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus are receiving an angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitor (ACE-I) based on recent evidence supporting its use in these patients.
Research Design: A retrospective, chart review of 41 patients with a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus from November 1, 2004 to December 31, 2005.
Methodology: This was a retrospective, chart review of all patients within the SAVAHCS home-based population with an active diagnosis of diabetes mellitus. Once the patients were identified, their clinical profiles were extracted from the VISTA computer system. The patients had data regarding age, gender, diabetes type, diagnoses of heart disease and hypertension, type of ACE- Inhibitor prescribed, blood pressure, HgbA1c, and height and weight in order to calculate body mass index (BMI). The patients were classified as either having or not having ACE-Inhibitor therapy.
Results: The total number of diabetic patients currently receiving an ACE-Inhibitor was 24 (58.5%). This was significantly lower than the value of 80% predetermined (p=0.0352). Thirty-one patients were also found to have a diagnosis of hypertension (75.6%), with 18 of these patients having a prescription for an ACE-Inhibitor (43.9%). Four patients (9.8%) who were not currently on an ACE- Inhibitor had a documented history of cough induced by the use of these drugs.
Clinical Relationships: ACE-Inhibitors are drug agents used to treat hypertension. They have also been shown to be of significant clinical value in diabetic patients, in both renal protective effects as well as to reduce cardiovascular risk, the most common cause of morbidity and mortality in diabetic patients.

A Comprehensive Literature Review of Non-‐cough Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) Associated With AngiotensinMonaco, Dominick, Romero, Jose, Solis, Jesus January 2010 (has links)
Class of 2010 Abstract / OBJECTIVES: To comprehensively review medical literature and report angiotension converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE-‐I) adverse drug reactions including, incidences, mechanism of action, predisposing conditions, and report prevention and treatments. METHODS: This was a descriptive retrospective study of data related to ACE-‐I adverse drug reactions other than ACE-‐I induced cough. It was to review the ADR that accompany with the use of ACE-‐I. Literature obtained through search engines MEDLINE and OVID SP available through the Arizona Health and Science Library at the University of Arizona.
RESULTS: This comprehensive literature review looked at angioneurotic edema, orthostatic hypotension, hyperkalemia, and increased risk of bleeding and anaphylaxis with tPA and to a minor extent Elevated serum creatinine, and Teratogenicity. Angioneurotic edema (angioedema) reports initially estimated an incidence of 0.1 to 0.7%. A comprehensive review suggested the incidence was even lower at 0.1 to 0.2%, but the OCTAVE trial that specifically looked at angioedema as an endpoint estimated an incidence of ~0.7% although the study only had a 24-‐week follow up. Most patients that discontinued treatment due to angioedema experienced symptom relief within 72 hours. The incidence of orthostatic hypotension from a study that followed patients on lisinopril was only 0.25%;moreover, a meta-‐analysis by Agusti et al included 51 RCT that reported a relative risk of developing OH on an ACE-‐I alone was 1.95. Hyperkalemia incidence reporeted varied from 1.1% to 10%; the more recent literature suggests a value near the lower end of this range. Elevated serum creatinine appears to occur early in ACE-‐I treatment with discontinuation resolving in resolution. ACE-‐I have been shown to be teratogenic during any trimester and should generally be avoided in pregnancy. There appears to be an increased risk of bleeding and anaphylactoid typer reactions when alteplase and ACE-‐I are used simultaneously. Muravyov et al reported the viscosity of whole blood and plasma to be decreased after only three weeks of ACE-‐I administration. CONCLUSIONS: With the continued increasing use of ACE-‐Is and the drug class' ability to achieve therapeutic outcomes in a wide array of patient populations, it is important to better understand the processes and mechanisms behind the ADRs associated with ACE-‐I therapy. A basic understanding of incidence rates and physiologic mechanisms will allow clinicians to properly assess the probability of causation and better treat patients who have experienced an ACE-‐I induced ADR. However, an in-‐depth level of understanding can help guide clinicians in making decisions that will hopefully decrease the amount of ADRs their patients experience or prevent their patients from developing ACE-‐I related ADR altogether. It is important to note that, in most of the aforementioned ADR situations, treatment consists of ACE-‐I discontinuation and avoidance of future exposures.

Rat angiotensin-converting enzyme : tissue specific expression during pharmacological inhibitionBrice, Edmund Andrew William January 1995 (has links)
The renin-angiotensin system plays a central role in the maintenance of blood pressure. Angiotensin II, the main effector of this system, results from the action of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) on angiotensin I. Angiotensin II, maintains vasomotor tone via its vasoconstrictor action, and also increases salt and water retention by stimulating the release of aldosterone. ACE inhibitors, such as captopril, enalapril and lisinopril, are highly effective in the treatment of hypertension and congestive cardiac failure. Previous studies have suggested that angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) production may be enhanced during pharmacological inhibition of the enzyme. Little is known, however about the mechanism of this induction. After demonstrating increases in circulating ACE protein in cardiac failure patients receiving the ACE inhibitor captopril, a rat model was used to study this effect. A sensitive enzyme linked immunosorbent assay for rat ACE was developed and a partial cDNA for rat ACE cloned to enable examination of ACE mRNA and protein expression during enzyme inhibition with enalapril. Rat lung ACE mRNA increased by 156% (p<0.05) and ACE protein doubled within 3 hours of administering a single dose of enalapril. Testicular ACE mRNA also increased by 300% (p<0.05) within 2 hours and returned to pretreatment levels by 6 hours. The angiotensin II antagonist saralasin similarly caused a significant (p<0.0001) 800% enhancement of mRNA expression. Aldosterone pretreatment of rats prior to enalapril administration was found to abolish this mRNA induction. These findings indicate that increased ACE expression during inhibition results from reduced levels of angiotensin II with consequent reduced stimulation of the angiotensin 11 receptor and its effects, such as aldosterone release. This suggests that ACE levels are regulated by a negative feedback loop involving the distal components of the renin-angiotensin system, namely angiotensin II and aldosterone. In situ hybridisation and immunohistochemical techniques were employed to localise the site of this inductive response in rat tissue sections. It was found that lung macrophages were markedly induced to produce ACE, as was ACE in seminiferous tubules. ACE induction was also noted in the expected sites of renal tubular epithelium and glomerular tissue. Interestingly, ACE expression was also enhanced in cardiac valves. In these studies it has been conclusively demonstrated that new ACE expression is induced by enzyme inhibitor therapy. A variety of techniques have been developed that will allow futher study of ACE in rat tissues.

Production and characterization of angiotensin I-convertine enzyme inhibitory peptides from whey fermentation with lactic acid bacteriaAhn, Jae-Eun. January 2001 (has links)
Whey media, containing 2% (w/v) whey powder, 1% (w/v) glucose, and 0.5% (w/v) yeast extract, were fermented with nine Lactobacillus strains to produce angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptides. Lb. brevis, Lb. helveticus, and Lb. paracasei were most effective in producing whey hydrolysates that contained potent ACE inhibitors, with the inhibition rate ranging from 93.3 +/- 0.3 to 100%. The hydrolysates of three Lactobacillus strains were partially purified by dialysis (6,000--8,000 Da cut-off) to remove larger molecules, and subsequently subjected to RP-HPLC, equipped with a Delta Pak C18 column. Each chromatogram displayed at least three distinct peaks at the hydrophobic region of the elution profile. Altogether fourteen peaks were purified and assayed for ACE inhibitory activity. All peaks except one exhibited ACE inhibitory activities, with IC50 ranging from 5.3 +/- 0.1 to 2637.8 +/- 366.9mug/ml. Three of these peaks contained pentapeptides, which consisted of mostly hydrophobic or aromatic amino acids at the C-terminal.
