Captopril drug molecule
Captopril drug molecule, molecular model. Atoms are represented as spheres and colour coded; carbon (light blue), hydrogen (white), oxygen (red), sulphur (yellow) and nitrogen (dark blue). Captopril belongs to a group of drugs, known as ACE inhibitors, that are used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and heart failure. They work by inhibiting the production of angiotensin-converting enzyme, which raises blood pressure by causing blood vessels to constrict and promoting the retention of fluid. Due to a short half-life, captopril needs to be administered 2 to 3 times a day and so its use has been largely replaced by longer-acting drugs

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of Captopril, a powerful drug used in the treatment of hypertension and heart failure. The molecular model is beautifully illustrated with atoms represented as spheres, each color-coded to indicate its element. Carbon appears in light blue, hydrogen in white, oxygen in red, sulphur in yellow, and nitrogen in dark blue. Captopril belongs to a group of drugs called ACE inhibitors that effectively combat high blood pressure by inhibiting the production of angiotensin-converting enzyme. This enzyme is responsible for constricting blood vessels and promoting fluid retention, ultimately raising blood pressure levels. Although highly effective, Captopril has a short half-life which necessitates frequent administration throughout the day – typically 2 to 3 times daily. Consequently, longer-acting drugs have largely replaced its use. This visually striking image not only highlights the structural complexity of this vital medication but also emphasizes its significance within pharmacology and biochemistry. It serves as a reminder of how scientific advancements continue to shape medical treatments for various conditions such as hypertension and heart failure. Science Photo Library presents this remarkable artwork that seamlessly combines chemistry with medicine – an exquisite portrayal of molecules at work within our bodies.
