===Mechanism of Action===

Angiotensin II has been implicated in cardiac, renal and vascular diseases. Bradykinin, a small peptide that counterbalance the effects of Angiotensin II by acting as a strong vasodilator upon binding AT2, is degraded by the same ACE-1 enzyme. Since ACE-1 is the primary producer of Angiotensin II and degrader of Bradykinins, inhibition of ACE-1 has proven an effective treatment for [[Hypertension]]. <ref>PMID:17083068</ref>Perindopril is rapidly metabolized into its highly active metabolite Perindoprilat by hepatic enzymes.
