| In Vitro | In vitro activity: Perindopril Erbumine displays a higher binding affinity for the bradykinin binding sites than the angiotensin I binding sites of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) with bradykinin/angiotensin I selectivity ratio of 1.44. Perindopril Erbumine inhibits the angiotensin- and Aβ42-to-Aβ40-converting activity of mutated ACE containing two active domains (F-ACE) with IC50 of 0.03-0.1 μM, and 0.01-0.03 μM, respectively. Perindopril Erbumine (~2 μM) displays no significant cytotoxicity towards SCC-VII and KB cells, but can significantly reduce the production of angiotensin II and the transcription of VEGF in KB cells in a concentration-dependent manner. |

In Vivo | Oral administration of Perindopril Erbumine at 2 mg/kg/day has a significant inhibitory effect on SCC-VII tumor growth, and reduces blood vessel formation surrounding the tumors in vivo due to the suppression of VEGF-induced angiogenesis. Administration of Perindopril Erbumine at 2 mg/kg/day displays a strong inhibitory effect of the BNL-HCC tumor growth in rats similar to that of 20 mg/kg/day and in contrast to the AT1-R antagonist candesartan or losartan which at the dose of 20 mg/kg/day has no inhibitory effect. Administration of Perindopril Erbumine at 3 mg/kg/day significantly inhibits LPS-induced apoptosis by 6.4% in RAECs in vivo than that of ramipril by 3.2%. Administration of Perindopril Erbumine (1 mg/kg/day) significantly suppresses the hippocampal ACE activity, and prevents cognitive impairment and brain injury in rats with Alzheimer's disease (AD). |
