The structure reveals two multiply connected folding domains which embrace a large central cavity containing the active site of the 5-indanyl ester prodrug candoxatril[7] and differs from phosphoramidon [N-(N-(((6-Deoxy-α-L-mannopyran​osyl)oxy)hydroxyphosphinyl)-L-​ leucyl)-L-tryptophan] in several respects the structure of human neutral endopeptidase complexed with phosphoramidon is lost due to desolvation[7] of the enzyme and ligand on formation of the complex Candoxatril.
