Objective: Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor and angiotensin II type I receptor blockers (ARB) prevent cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI). However, it is controversial whether combination therapy of ACE inhibitor and ARB is more effective on cardiac remodeling than each agent alone. In this study, we compared the effects of an ACE inhibitor (temocapril), an ARB (CS-866), and their combination on cardiac remodeling after MI.

The purpose of our study has to determine the myocardial protective effects of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor temocapril (TEM, 7 mg/kg/day) simultaneously administered with doxorubicin (Adriamycin). Twenty male Sprague-Dawley rats were intraperitoneally administered a cumulative dose of 15 mg/kg of doxorubicin (each dose of 1.0 mg/kg x 15) for 3 weeks, and divided into TEM-untreated and -treated rats.

Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors which have active moieties excreted mainly in urine require adjustment of either the dose or the interval between doses in patients with moderate to severe renal dysfunction or severe congestive heart failure. Those agents such as temocapril (CS 622) and fosinopril, excreted both in urine and bile, may not require such adjustment. Renal clearance of ACE inhibitors may be reduced and some accumulation may occur in elderly patients with mild renal dysfunction or congestive heart failure.
