Abstract:
:The effect of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition by captopril on the release of a prostacyclin-like substance by bradykinin, angiotensin I and angiotensin II was studied by means of the blood-bathed bioassay technique of Vane. Administration of captopril abolished the release of prostacyclin-like substance induced by angiotensin I, potentiated the release provoked by bradykinin and did not alter that due to angiotensin II. Potentiation of the bradykinin-induced renal vasodilatation with captopril could be completely reversed by indomethacin, which also abolished the kinin-induced release of prostacyclin-like substance. Potentiation of the bradykinin-induced hypotension was markedly attenuated but not completely reversed by cyclo-oxygenase inhibition. It is suggested that following converting inhibition increased production of prostacyclin by elevated kinin levels may contribute to the antihypertensive action of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors.
