To separate ACE inhibitors from edible plants, spices, and herbs, 285 extracts of 95 sources were screened for ACE inhibitory activity. The extract of Sinapis alba L. had the most potent ACE inhibitory activity. Mustard seeds were crushed homogeneously and extracted with hexane and water successively. Lyophilized water extract was fractionated with $H_2O$:butanol(1:1). The ACE inhibitor was purified from butanol fraction by methanol precipi-tation, gel filtration, HPLC, and FPLC with Superdex peptide HQ 10/30 column. The active fraction has been purified to homogeneity, which was proven by gel filtration using FPLC system. The yield was 0.02%. The com-pound has a molecular weight of about 640. The compound competitively inhibited ACE activity and the $IC_{50}$ value was 79$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml. The purified compound showed uterus contraction activity in isolated rat uterus.

Inhibition of angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) activity is the most common mechanism underlying the lowering of blood pressure. In the present study, five organic extracts of a marine brown seaweed Ecklonia cava were prepared by using ethanol, ethyl acetate, chloroform, hexane, and diethyl ether as solvents, which were then tested for their potential ACE inhibitory activities. Ethanol extract showed the strongest ACE inhibitory activity with an $IC_{50}$ value of 0.96 mg/ml. Five kinds of phlorotannins, phloroglucinol, triphlorethol-A, eckol, dieckol, and eckstolonol, were isolated from ethanol extract of E. cava, which exhibited potential ACE inhibition. Dieckol was the most potent ACE inhibitor and was found to be a non-competitive inhibitor against ACE according to Lineweaver-Burk plots. Dieckol had an inducible effect on the production of NO in EAhy926 cells without having cytotoxic effect. The results of this study indicate that E. cava could be a potential source of phlorotalnnins with ACE inhibitory activity for utilization in production of functional foods.

An angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory substance was isolated and purified from Lycium chinense Miller. A crude water extract of Lycium chinense Miller was prepared by adding it to water shaking at $25^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr, followed by centrifugation at 8000 ${\times}$ g for 30 min. The crude extract was then filtered using YM-3 and YM-1 membranes. An ACE inhibitor was isolated using consecutive chromatographic methods including: ion exchange chromatography, gel permeation chromatography, and FPLC. The inhibitor was identified to have a molecular mass of 862 daltons by mass spectrometry.

Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) converts angiotensin I into angiotensin II by cleaving C-terminal dipeptide of angiotensin I and inactivates bradykinin. ACE inhibitors have been screened from various food sources since the inhibitors decrease blood pressure. Therefore, in this study, an ACE inhibitor was isolated and purified from squid ink using membrane filtration, gel permeation chromatography, normal phase HPLC, and fast protein liquid chromatography. The purified inhibitor was identified to be a molecular mass of 294 by mass spectrometry, and to have IC$\sub$50/ value of 4.9 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mL.

전통된장으로부터 안지오텐신전환효소(angiotensin converting enzyme; ACE)를 저해하는 물질을 추출하여 그 구조를 밝혀냈다. ACE 저해물질을 열수추출한 다음 gel permeation chromatography (GPC)를 통하여 ACE 저해작용이 큰 두 개의 큰 획분을 받았다. 앞획분은 90%와 70%의 ACE 저해효과를 나타내었으나 단일물질로 분리되지 않아 계속하여 역상 HPLC를 통하여 순수 분리를 하였다. 그러나 앞획분은 순수분리되지 않아 결국 2차원 전기영동/TLC를 통하여 분리한 결과 분자량이 759.63인 아미노기를 갖고 있는 비펩타이드 물질임이 밝혀졌다. 뒷획분은 다른 조건의 HPLC(reverse column과 $NH_2$, column)를 이용하여 순수분리에 성공하였다. 이중 ACE 저해효과가 큰 물질은 분자량 271.33인 dipeptide인 arginine-proline임을 밝혀냈다. 이물질의 ACE $IC_{50}$은 $92\;{\mu}M$이었다. 본 연구 결과는 대부분 ACE 저해물질이 3개 내지 7개 등의 긴 펩타이드임을 감안할 때, 짧은 dipeptide로 ACE 저해펩타이드가 한국의 전통된장에서 생산할 수 있음을 보여주고 있다.

A new set of functional group interaction energy descriptors relevant to the ACE (Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme) inhibitory peptide, QSAR (Quantitative Structure Activity Relationships), is presented. The functional group interaction energies approximate the charged interactions and distances between functional groups in molecules. The effective energies of the computationally derived geometries are useful parameters for deriving 3D-QSAR models, especially in the absence of experimentally known active site conformation. ACE is a regulatory zinc protease in the renin-angiotensin system. Therapeutic inhibition of this enzyme has proven to be a very effective treatment for the management of hypertension. The non bond interaction energy values among functional groups of six-feature of ACE inhibitory peptides were used as descriptor terms and analyzed for multivariate correlation with ACE inhibition activity. The functional group interaction energy descriptors used in the regression analysis were obtained by a series of inhibitor structures derived from molecular mechanics and semi-empirical calculations. The descriptors calculated using electrostatic and steric fields from the precisely defined functional group were sufficient to explain the biological activity of inhibitor. Application of the descriptors to the inhibition of ACE indicates that the derived QSAR has good predicting ability and provides insight into the mechanism of enzyme inhibition. The method, functional group interaction energy analysis, is expected to be applicable to predict enzyme inhibitory activity of the rationally designed inhibitors.

Lactobacillus plantarum is used for fermentation of fish products, meat and milk. However, the utilization of these bacteria in egg processing has not been done. This study was designed to evaluate the potential of fermented egg albumen as a functional food that is rich in angiotensin I-converting enzyme inhibitors activity (ACE-inhibitor activity) and is antihypertensive. A completely randomized design was used in this study with six durations of fermentation (6, 12, 18, 24, 30, and 36 h) as treatments. Six hundred eggs obtained from the same chicken farm were used in the experiment as sources of egg albumen. Bacteria L. plantarum FNCC 0027 used in the fermentation was isolated from cow's milk. The parameters measured were the total bacteria, dissolved protein, pH, total acid and the activity of ACE-inhibitors. The results showed that there were significant effects of fermentation time on the parameters tested. Total bacteria increased significantly during fermentation for 6, 12, 18, and 24 h and then decreased with the increasing time of fermentation to 30 and 36 h. Soluble protein increased significantly during fermentation to 18 h and then subsequently decreased during of fermentation to 24, 30, and 36 h. The pH value decreased markedly during fermentation. The activities of ACE-inhibitor in fermented egg albumen increased during fermentation to 18 h and then decreased with the increasing of the duration of fermentation to 24, 30, and 36 h. The egg albumen which was fermented for 18 h resulted in a functional food that was rich in ACE-inhibitor activity.

Angioedema is a localized transient swelling of sudden onset that can occur in the face, lips, tongue, hand, feet, respiratory system and gastrointestinal system. Angioedema is classified as allergy, hereditary, idiopathic or induced by medication as like aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents, opiates, antibiotics, and angiotensin-converting enzyme. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors are widely prescribed for hypertension and heart failure. This drug is commonly associated with angioedema which may be potentially life threatening. We experienced a case of angioedema induced by ACE inhibitor (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor) in a 74-year-old patient who took ACE inhibitor to control hypertension during hospitalization. We thought the angioedema in the face had relation to myenzhong (面腫, mienjong) in oriental medicine. Weiling-tang (Wiryung-tang) was effective for angioedema in the face. As a result the symptoms disappeared rapidly. After 6 days, the patient's symptoms had notably improved.
