In-vitro screening and docking study of fosinopril and its analogs

Abstract

Hypertension is the most common cardiovascular disease. The prevalence of hypertension increases with advancing age; for example, about 50% of people between the ages of 60 and 69 years old have hypertension, and the prevalence is further increased beyond age of 70. Many angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors are known to be useful in the treatment of hypertension.
