REVIEW Delapril, a nonsulfhydryl angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, is used for the treatment of hypertension in a number of European and Asian countries. Delapril has an indanylglycine moiety differing from the proline moiety of captopril or enalapril, is an esterified prodrug that is converted in vivo to its active metabolite, an 5-hydroxy-indane diacid.
