  • Absorption_value50.0
  • Absorption (description)A minimum of 37% of an oral dose of benazepril is absorbed (fasting)
  • Caco_2N/A
  • Bioavailability37.0
  • Protein binding97.0
  • Volume of distribution (VD)0.12 L/kg
  • Blood/Plasma Partitioning ratio (D_blood)Benazeprilat is not extensively distributed into extravascular sites with minimum passage across the blood/brain barrier.
  • MetabollsmHepatic glucuronidation. Rapidly converted to its active carboxylic metabolite, benazeprilat by enzymatic hydrolysis in the liver.
  • Half life0.5~1.0 h
  • ExcretionBenazepril is cleared mainly by metabolic transformation with <1% being excreted unchanged in urine along with its acyl glucuronide metabolite. Approximately 18% of an oral dose is recovered in urine as the diacid, benazeprilat. Peak plasma concentrations of benazeprilat occur 1 to 2 h after administration, if fasting, and 2 to 4 h in the non-fasting state. 11 to 12% of benazeprilat is excreted in bile and the majority in urine. Elimination is slow with renal impairment. Very small amounts of benazepril and benazeprilat are secreted into breast milk.
