Rescaloid: Full Drug Profile

Medically reviewed by Min Clinic Staff | Updated: January 2026

Rescaloid - General Information

Rescaloid is an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor used as an antihypertensive drug. It is an alkaloid obtained from Rauwolfia serpentina and other species of Rauwolfia. [Wikipedia]

 

Pharmacology of Rescaloid

Used to treat hypertension. Rescaloid inhibits angiotensin-converting enzyme. ACE is a peptidyl dipeptidase that catalyzes the conversion of angiotensin I to the vasoconstrictor substance, angiotensin II. Angiotensin II also stimulates aldosterone secretion by the adrenal cortex.

 

Additional information about Rescaloid

Rescaloid Indication: For the treatment of hypertension. Mechanism Of Action: Binds to and inhibits the angiotensin converting enzyme. Rescaloid competes with angiotensin I for binding at the angiotensin-converting enzyme, blocking the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II. Inhibition of ACE results in decreased plasma angiotensin II. As angiotensin II is a vasoconstrictor and a negative-feedback mediator for renin activity, lower concentrations result in a decrease in blood pressure and stimulation of baroreceptor reflex mechanisms, which leads to decreased vasopressor activity and to decreased aldosterone secretion.
