*Definition: Neprilysin inhibitors are a new class of drugs that are used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure. These work by blocking the action of neprilysin, and thus, preventing the breakdown of natriuretic peptides. Neprilysin enzyme, also called neutral endopeptidase, plays a role in the degradation of natriuretic peptides and other vasoactive peptides including bradykinin.  Natriuretic peptides remove sodium from the blood and excrete it in the urine. In the absence of natriuretic peptides, sodium levels increases in the blood that leads toincreased blood pressure.Bradykinin is a vasodilator that relaxes and widens the walls of blood vessels. This facilitates the free flow of blood in the vessels. In the absence of bradykinin, the blood vessels may not relax and may cause an increase in blood pressure. Neprilysin inhibitor increases the availability of natriuretic peptides, helps bradykinin to achieve vasodilation and natriuresis (excretion of sodium), and decreases blood pressure.
