ACE Inhibitors Market: Competitive Landscape, Pipeline, and Market Analysis 2023
The Angiotensin-converting-enzyme (ACE) is involved in the Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone-system (RAAS) and stimulates the conversion of angiotensin-I to angiotensin-II. ACE inhibitors are competitive inhibitors of ACE, which prevent the conversion of angiotensin-I to angiotensin-II. Angiotensin-II acts as a potent vasoconstrictor that, when inhibited, can reduce blood pressure by dilating vessels and decreasing aldosterone secretion. Actions of angiotensin-II and aldosterone also lead to adverse cardiac remodeling. ACE inhibitors prevent adverse cardiac remodeling by reducing the concentrations of angiotensin-II and aldosterone. ACE inhibitors are widely used by clinicians/physicians to treat and manage hypertension, heart failure, stroke, coronary heart disease, patients with chronic kidney disease, and diabetes mellitus. Sanofi S.A., Gedeon Richter, Pfizer, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Novartis, and Merck (MSD) are the key players in the market for the drug class ACE inhibitor.

ACE inhibitors are useful as adjunctive therapy in systolic heart failure patients who also have a history of myocardial infarction. ACE inhibitors can be used to treat hypertension either alone or in conjunction with other anti-hypertensives to lower blood pressure. It is also recommended as part of a regimen in patients with hypertension and chronic stable angina if there is a history of left ventricular dysfunction, diabetes mellitus, or chronic kidney disease. ACE inhibitors should be initiated within 24 hours of ST-elevated myocardial infarction, specifically in patients with anterior myocardial infarction, heart failure, or left ventricular ejection fraction of 40% or less. The addition of an ACE inhibitor has shown a significant reduction in serum creatinine in hypertensive and normotensive patients with albuminuria. ACE inhibitor therapy has shown a significant decrease in the progression of diabetic nephropathy.
