Enalaprilat itself is available only for intravenous use, primarily for hypeensive emergencies. All other ACE inhibitors are prodrugs and are conveed to active metabolites by hydrolysis, primarily in the liver. Lisinopril doesn't require hydrolysis to become active metabolite. Its oral absorption is low and incomplete.
