title: Prolyl derivatives of enalapril as potential angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors.
abstract: The synthesis of a new class of potential angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, analogs of enalapril, is reported. In these molecules the C-terminal amino acidic sequence Ala-Pro of enalapril was replaced by the sequence Pro-Pro. The compounds were tested both in vitro and in vivo. They showed no in vivo activity but only a week in vitro inhibitory activity.
