Zofenopril (also known as Zofenoprilum [Latin]) is an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor with cardioprotective properties indicated for the treatment of hypertension.[1]

In small studies, zofenopril appeared significantly more effective than the older antihypertensives atenolol and enalapril, and was associated with less adverse effects.[2][3]
