1 LPS (20 micrograms/ml)-induced in vitro TNF-alpha production, measured by bioassay and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, was significantly inhibited with captopril, delapril and cilazapril in a concentration of 10(-3) mol/l. Cilazapril tumor necrosis factor Homo sapiens
2 A single, oral administration of captopril, delapril and cilazapril at more than 10-fold doses of common clinical use in man significantly inhibited LPS (2 mg/kg)-induced serum TNF-alpha activity in Balb/c mice. Cilazapril tumor necrosis factor Homo sapiens
3 These results indicate that ACE inhibitors such as captopril, delapril and cilazapril have an inhibitory effect on TNF-alpha production not only in vitro as previously reported, but also in vivo, although relatively high concentrations and large doses were required in this study. Cilazapril tumor necrosis factor Homo sapiens
