Perindopril (S-9490) is an orally available, long-acting angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. Perindopril inhibits inflammatory cell influx and intimal thickening, preserving elastin on the inside of the aorta. Perindopril effectively inhibits experimental abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) formation in a rat model and reduces pulmonary vasoconstriction in rats with pulmonary hypertension[1][2][3][4].
