Perindopril erbumine (S9490-3) is the tert-butylamine salt of perindopril, the ethyl ester of a non-sulfhydryl angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor with antihypertensive activity. Upon hydrolysis, Perindopril erbumine (S9490-3) is converted to its active form perindoprilat, inhibiting ACE and the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II; consequently, angiotensin II-mediated vasoconstriction and angiotensin II-stimulated aldosterone secretion from the adrenal cortex are inhibited and diuresis and natriuresis ensue.

Perindopril (S-9490) is a long-acting ACE inhibitor effective for 24 hours, primarily utilized in the management of high blood pressure, heart failure, or stable coronary artery disease. Available as perindopril arginine (with trade names such as Coversyl and Coversum) or perindopril erbumine (known as Aceon), both formulations are regarded therapeutically equivalent, according to the Australian Government's Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme—meaning they can be interchanged without clinical effect differences, though their dosing may vary due to distinct molecular weights. Notably, perindopril ranks among the most frequently prescribed ACE inhibitors, thanks to its extensive evidence base supporting its use in patients with hypertension, type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, and chronic heart failure. This review highlights perindopril's organoprotective benefits that extend beyond its capacity to lower blood pressure.

Perindopril arginine is an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor, and amlodipine, a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker, and is indicated for the treatment of hypertension, to lower blood pressure.
