Paw edema induced in rats by kaolin and carrageenan was potentiated by ramipril, an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, but pretreatment of rats with 10 mg/kg bromelain, intravenous administered, completely prevented this potentiation by ramipril [91]. Rat pleurisy induced by intrapleural injection of kaolin was suppressed by bromelain [92].

Ramipril (Altace) Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor Inhibits ACE, decreases peripheral arterial resistance... 

Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, such as benazepril (Lotensin), enalapril (Vasotec), fosinopril (Monopril), lisinopril (Prinivil, Zestril), quinapril (Accupril), and ramipril (Altace). 

Ramipril, an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor with antihypertensive properties (2 to 5 mg p.o. daily), is used in the treatment of hypertension, either alone or in combination with thiazide diuretics (see also Eigure 24).
