Enalapril and carvedilol
Enalapril and carvedilol is a ACE inhibitor and beta-blocker combination Small molecule drug developed by Hospital Clinic of Barcelona. It is currently in Phase 3 development for Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, Hypertension, Post-myocardial infarction management.
This combination reduces blood pressure and heart workload by blocking angiotensin II formation (enalapril) and beta-adrenergic signaling (carvedilol).
This combination reduces blood pressure and heart workload by blocking angiotensin II formation (enalapril) and beta-adrenergic signaling (carvedilol). Used for Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, Hypertension, Post-myocardial infarction management.

Mechanism of action
Enalapril is an ACE inhibitor that prevents conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, reducing vasoconstriction and aldosterone secretion. Carvedilol is a non-selective beta-blocker with alpha-blocking properties that decreases heart rate, contractility, and peripheral vascular resistance. Together, they provide complementary cardiovascular protection in heart failure and hypertension.
