lisinopril dihydraté; dihydrate de lisinopril : Les hydrates sont des composés d'addition, formés par deux ou plusieurs composés distincts qui ne se combinent pas pour former un nouveau composé. Les hydrates sont ainsi composés d'un composé, le lisinopril dans le cas présent, et d'un certain nombre de molécules d'eau (2 ici); l'eau peut se trouver sous forme d'eau de cristallisation ou sous n'importe quelle forme. Le terme hydrate est une exception à la règle de nomenclature qui veut que la terminaison en «ate» désigne un anion : le terme hydrate désigne une molécule d'eau et non l'ion OH- qui est nommé «hydroxide». Dans un nom de composé d'addition, les molécules d'eau sont toujours citées en dernier lieu. Une molécule d'eau est signalée par le terme «monohydrate»; les préfixes multiplicatifs «di-», «tri-», «tétra-», etc., sont utilisés pour indiquer le nombre de molécules d'eau (2,3,4, etc.). Le nom «lisinopril dihydrate» est conforme à l'usage. L'adjectif «hydraté» a été proposé, sans succès. Le terme «(di)hydrate de lisinopril» est à bannir, car cette forme n'indique plus qu'il s'agit d'un composé d'addition, mais laisse entendre que ce serait un composé équivalent à un sel, comme dans «chlorhydrate de...». 1, record 2, French, - lisinopril%20dihydrate
