A non-sulfhydryl angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor with antihypertensive activity. As a prodrug, trandolapril is converted by de-esterification in the liver into its active form trandolaprilat. T randolaprilat competitively binds to and inhibits ACE, thereby blocking the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II. T his prevents the potent vasoconstrictive actions of angiotensin II and results in vasodilation. T randolaprilat also decreases angiotensin II-induced aldosterone secretion by the adrenal cortex, which leads to an increase in sodium excretion and subsequently increases water outflow.
