Abstract

Trifluoromethyl analogs of captopril, i.e (R,S)- and (S,S)-captopril-f3, are synthesised and submitted to in vitro assay for inhibition of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE). It is found that (R,S)-captopril-f3 is substantially more potent than captoril (captopril-f3: IC50= 2.9 × 10-10 M). Stereoelectronic and conformational effects attributed to trifluoromethyl incorporation serve to explain the enhanced inhibitory activity.
