Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Adverse Cutaneous Drug Reactions to Cardiovascular Drugs

Abstract

Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) can be classified into two sub groups according to their chemical structure: the one containing a thiol (or sulfhydryl [SH]) group such as captopril and zofenopril, and the other lacking a thiol group such as enalapril, ramipril, cilazapril, fosinopril, quinapril, trandolapril, lisinopril, perindopril, moexipril, benazepril, imidapril, delapril, alecepril, and spirapril.
