A member of the class of imidazolidines that is (4S)-1-methyl-2-oxoimidazolidine-4-carboxylic acid in which the hydrogen of the imidazolidine nitrogen has been substituted by (1S)-1-{[(2S)-1-ethoxy-1-oxo-4-phenylbutan-2-yl]amino}ethyl group. It is the prodrug for imidaprilat, an ACE inhibitor used for the treatment of chronic heart failure.
CES1 protein results in increased hydrolysis of and results in increased activity of imidapril; CES1 protein results in increased metabolism of and results in increased activity of imidapril; Dust inhibits the reaction [CES1 protein results in increased metabolism of and results in increased activity of imidapril]; tert-butylphenyl diphenyl phosphate inhibits the reaction [CES1 protein results in increased metabolism of and results in increased activity of imidapril]; triphenyl phosphate inhibits the reaction [CES1 protein results in increased metabolism of and results in increased activity of imidapril]
