Abstract: Trandolapril, a potent inhibitor of angiotensin converting enzyme, was studied by nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR) spectroscopy. It was found that trandolapril had two conformations in CDCl3, and conformer A could converted gradually into conformer B at room temperature. The two conformations of trandolapril were elucidated by NMR spectroscopy and in combination with structural simulation based on density function theory(DFT). The results show that the two conformers of trandolapril interchange via rotation about the amide bond, and the conformer B(cis) is the preferred conformation. The energy difference of two conformers is 6.35 kJ/mol.
