An azaspiro compound that is spirapril in which the ethyl ester group has been hydrolysed to the corresponding carboxylic acid group. It is the active metabolite of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor spirapril.
spirapril results in increased expression of REN mRNA; spirapril results in increased expression of REN protein spirapril promotes the reaction [2-hexynyladenosine-5'-N-ethylcarboxamide results in increased expression of REN protein]
