A peptide that inhibits angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) was isolated from a hydrolysate of Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum) proteins prepared with thermolysin. Amino acid sequence of the peptide was determined to be Leu-Leu-Pro. Chemically synthesized Leu-Leu-Pro had an $IC_{50}\;value\;of\;158\;\mu{M}$. Peptides related to the Manila clam-derived peptide were synthesized to study the structure-activity relationships. The tetrapeptide, Leu-Leu-Pro-Pro, had a very weak effect on the enzyme. However, Leu-Leu-Pro-Asn showed no inhibitory activity.

Thirty plants of the Compositae family were screened for inhibitory activity of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE). Among them, Chrysanthemum boreale Makino and Ixeris dentate Nakai were selected for further investigation since they had the highest inhibitory activity. Crude water extracts of the flowers of Chrysanthemum boreale Makino and the roots of Ixeris dentate Nakai were prepared by heating at 95$^{\circ}C$ and 6$0^{\circ}C$ for 2 hr, respectively, followed by centrifugation at 8000$\times$ g far 30 min. Crude extracts were then filtered using YM-3 and YM-1 membranes. The ACE inhibitors were isolated using consecutive chromatographic methods including: Sephadex G-15, ion exchange, FPLC, and reverse phase HPLC. The inhibitors were identified to have molecular masses of 204 and 283 daltons, respectively, by mass spectrometry. These results demonstrate that crude extracts of Compositae plants may be useful as functional food ingredients with anti-hypertensive properties.

본 연구는 고혈압을 억제하는 ACE inhibitory peptide가 한우에 함유되어 있는지를 조사하기 위한 기초연구로 한우의 우둔과 등심으로부터 Myosin B를 추출하여 가열한 것과 가열하지 않은 것으로 구분하여 pepsin으로 0, 1, 3, 6시간 동안 $37^{\circ}C$에서 가수분해 시켰다. 가수분해물을 전기영동을 실시하여 pepsin 처리시간에 따른 단백질의 변화를 검토하였고, ACE 저해 활성을 측정하였다. 전기영동의 결과 가열한 것은 가열하지 않은 것에 비해서 단백질의 변성과 소멸이 많이 일어나 밴드의 수가 적었다. Pepsin으로 가수분해한 시간이 길어짐에 일부 단백질이 소실되었고, 저분자의 단백질이 생성되었다. Pepsin으로 가수분해함에 따라 등심과 우둔에서 25, 32, 40 및 44 kDa는 소실되었고, 37 kDa의 분자량을 갖는 밴드는 생성되었으며, 27 kDa의 단백질은 처음상태 그대로 유지되었다. 가수분해물을 이용하여 ACE 저해활성도를 측정한 결과, 등심은 1시간 가수분해시 유의차가 있었으나, 우둔은 가열여부에 따라 유의차가 발견되지 않았다. 반면 등심과 우둔 모두 가수분해 시간이 증가하면 ACE 저해율은 상승하는 경향을 보였다. 이와 같은 결과를 토대로 한우로부터 추출한 Myosin B의 ACE 억제활성이 우수한 단백질분획을 찾아 아미노산 염기서열을 밝히고 고혈압 억제제로 합성 개발하는 연구를 차후 추진할 예정이다.

Angiotensin-I converting enzyme(ACE)inhibitor was isolated from beef by-products. The beef by- product hydrolysates prepared with various proteases were tested for the inhibitory effects against ACE. The proteases used were proteinase A from bakers yeast, protease type ⅩIII fungal and thermolysin. The maximum inhibitory effect was observed after hydrolysis for 12hrs(beef heart) and 24hrs(beef spleen), respectively. After gel filtration, IC50 value was 0.37mg/ml in beef heart and 1.84mg/ml in beef spleen. After RP-HPLC, the IC50 value of peak 1, peak 2, peak 3 and peak-4 were 0.28mg/ml, 0.26mg/ml, 0.25mg/ml and 0.35mg/ml, respectively. In the results of amino acid composition of peak 1, peak 2, peak 3 and peak 4, it was observed that peak 1 was consisted mainly of glycine and methionine, peak 2 was proline, cystine and methionine, peak 3 was proline and peak 4 was alanine, methionine and leucine. In conclusion, beef heart hydrolysate treated with thermolysin+ proteinase A was shown to have the highest inhibitory effect for 12hrs incubation at 37$^{\circ}C$.

Angiotensive I-converting enzyme inhibitory activity of various extracts from some rice brans were investigated with its optimal extraction conditions. Water extracts of Ilpumbyeo rice bran showed the highest ACE inhibitory activities of 7730%. ACE inhibitor from Ilpumbyeo rice bran was maximally extracted when its powder was treated with 10 times of distilled water for 12h at $30^{\circ}C$.

A halotolerant and extracellular protease-producing yeast was isolated from traditional Meju and identified as a strain of Hansenular polymorpha by investigating its microbiological characteristics. The optimum pH, temperature and NaCl concentration reauired for the growth of Hansenular polymorpha S-9 were found to be pH 6.0, 30$^{\circ}C$ and 0.5 M, respectively. Extracellular protease was produced maximally at 10 U ml(sup)-1 when Hansenular polymorpha S-9 was grown on the medium containing 1.0% beef extract and 0.1 M NaCl for 12 hr at 30$^{\circ}C$. About 13% of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity was shown in the hydrolysates which were obtained from the digestion of soybean protein (6 mg) for 6 hr at 30$^{\circ}C$ by the crude enzyme (1 U).

Various catalysts such as formic acid, acetic acid, sodium hydroxide, sodium bicarbonate, carbon dioxide and nitrogen gas were used for hydrolyzates production from deoiled mackerel muscle by subcritical water hydrolysis. Above 99% hydrolysis yield was obtained using sodium bicarbonate catalyst at $260^{\circ}C/70bar$. Histamine and heavy metals concentration were reduced in hydrolyzates. Highest amount of amino acid (400.36 mg/g) and reducing sugar (24.75 mg/g) were found in hydrolyzate obtained at $260^{\circ}C/70bar$ and $220^{\circ}C/30bar$, respectively with sodium bicarbonate catalyst. Antioxidant and ACE-inhibitory activities were significantly higher in hydrolyzates obtained using sodium bicarbonate than that of others.

The present study was conducted to investigate Angiotensin I-converting enzyme(ACE) inhibition activity of the components of traditional tea materials in Korea. Angiotensin I-converting enzyme(ACE) inhibition activity of water soluble fractions obtained from the samples were strong in Zingiberis rhizoma, Acantopanacis cortex, Schizandrae fructus, Perilla semen, Cassiae torae semen, Zizyphy fructus in order. ACE inhibition activity of fractions obtained from methanol extract of Cassiae torae semen were strong in ethyl acetate fraction, ethyl ether fraction, water fraction, chloroform fraction in order. Compound C showed the strongest ACE inhibition activity among compound A, B, C, D separated from Cassiae torae semen, but Compound C separated from Cassiae torae semen was lower than bradykinin in the ACE inhibition activity.

The goal of this study was to screen and characterize the physiological functions of Korean traditional wines (TW) and liquors (TL). Forty-two TW and TL were collected and evaluated for quality and cardiovascular activities. Ethanol content ranged from $9.0%{\sim}41%$, and pH ranged from $3.0{\sim}7.8$, and they also contained 0.01% to 0.67% of total acid. Samples contained a maximum of 2.0% of crude protein and $0.1%{\sim}14.0%$ of reducing sugar. Commercial CM-wine showed the highest antihypertensive angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity, 85.9%. The greatest fibrinolytic activity and platelet aggregation inhibitory activity were also found in commercial CM-wine (31.8U) and commercial SS2-wine (38.6 %), respectively. Commercial SHBI-liquor showed the highest HMG-CoA reductase inhibitory activity, 78%. The ACE inhibitor from commercial CM-wine was a peptide compound and also showed an antihypertensive effect in spontaneous hypertensive rats at a dosage of 1.5 mg/kg.
