ACE (Angiotensin-I converting enzyme) inhibitory peptides derived from foods are thought to suppress high blood pressure by inhibiting ACE. We tried to make efficient production of the ACE inhibitory hydrolysate from egg albumen. A hydrolysate digested by neutrase presented the highest ACE inhibitory activity ($IC_50\;value=256.35{\mu}g/ml$) and the proper proteolysis was occurred by 1.0% enzyme addition and 4 h incubation at $47^{\circ}C$. Antihypertensive effect of neutrase hydrolysate was investigated in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR, n=5). Systolic blood pressure (SBP) was decrease by 6.88% (-14.14 mmHg, p<0.05) at 3 h after oral administration of 300 mg/kg body weight, and by 13.33% (-27.72 mmHg, p<0.05) by emulsified hydrolysate. These results showed that it is very effective to utilize egg albumen as a protein source for the production of ACE inhibitory peptides. However, further studies are required to investigate the methods to increase recovery yield and the isolation of active peptide is necessary for determining its sequence responsible for ACE inhibitory activity.

This study was conducted to screen in vitro angiotensin - I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activities of methanol (MeOH) and aqueous extracts at 20°C and 70°C, respectively, prepared from twenty-six red algae obtained from the coast of Jeju Island in Korea. Among aqueous extracts at 20°C (20AE) from red algae Lomentaria catenata showed the strongest ACE inhibitory activity and Lithophyllum okamurae recorded the second highest activity. From MeOH extract at 20°C (20ME) Ahnfeltiopsis flabelliformis possessed the strongest ACE inhibitory activity. Remarkable activities from MeOH extracts at 70°C (70ME) were observed in Grateloupia filicina, Sinkoraena lancifolia and Grateloupia lanceolata. However, no significant activity was found in aqueous extracts at 70°C (70AE). The IC50 values, which are concentrations required to inhibit 50% activity of ACE, for ACE inhibitory activities of 20AE from Lithophyllum okamurae and L. catenata were 13.78 and 12.21 μg mL–1, respectively. The IC50 values of 20ME from A. flabelliformis and Laurencia okamurae were 13.84 and 106.15 μg mL–1. Those of the 70ME from Bonnemaisonia hamifera, Grateloupia filicina, Sinkoraena lancifolia, G. lanceolata, Gracilaria vermiculophylla and L. okamurae ranged from 25.82 to 124.69 μg mL–1.

Objective: This study identified angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptides in beef M. longissimus injected with thermolysin (80 ppm) and stored for 3 days at $5^{\circ}C$. Methods: Crude peptides (molecular weight <3 kDa) were obtained from the thermolysin hydrolysate and separated into seven fractions. Fraction V showing the highest ACE inhibitory activity was further fractionated, yielding subfractions V-15, V-m1, and V-m2, and selected for superior ACE inhibitory activity. Finally, twelve peptides were identified from the three peak fractions and the ACE inhibitory activity ($IC_{50}$) of each peptide was evaluated. Results: The Leu-Ser-Trp, Phe-Gly-Tyr, and Tyr-Arg-Gln peptides exhibited the strongest ACE inhibitory activity ($IC_{50}$ values of 0.89, 2.69, and 3.09 mM, respectively) and had higher concentrations (6.63, 10.60, and 29.91 pg/g; p<0.05) relative to the other peptides tested. Conclusion: These results suggest that the thermolysin injection process is beneficial to the generation of bioactive peptides with strong ACE inhibitory activity.

A cell-free extract of Saccharomyces cerevisiae containing the angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptide was treated in a successive simulated gastric-intestinal bioreactor (step 1: amylase digestion, step 2: gastric fluid digestion, step 3: intestinal fluid digestion) to illustrate the absorption pattern of antihypertensive ACE inhibitory peptide, and the ACE inhibitory activities of each step were determined. Total ACE inhibitory activities of step 1, step 2, and step 3 were 55.96%, 80.09%, and 76.77%, respectively. The peptide sequence of each steps was analyzed by MS/MS spectrophotometry. Eleven kinds of representative peptide sequences were conserved in each step, and representative new peptides including RLPTESVPEPK were identified in step 3.

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.

안지오텐신(ACE) 저해제는 항고혈 효과를 갖고 있으므로 오랫동안 고혈압의 예방이나 치료에 이용되어 왔다. 본 연구는 재조합 대장균으로부터 새로운 ACE 저해제를 생산하고 정제하며 나아가 이들이 구조-기능 관P를 규명하기 위해 수행되었다. Saccharomyces cerevisiae의 ACE 저해 펩타이드 유전자를 함유하고 있는 재조합 pGEX-4T-3을 대장균 BL21(DE3)로 형질전환 시켰다. 재조합 pGEX-4T-3을 갖고 있는 대장균 BL21(DE3)로부터 생산된 Glutathione-s 전이효소(GST) 융합 단백질을 얻어서 그중 ACE저해 펩타이드를 Sephadex G-25 컬럼 크로마토그래피로 정제하였다. 정제된 ACE 저해 펩타이드는 타이로신-아스파틱엑시드-그리신-글리신-발린-페닐알라린-아르기닌-발린-타이로신-트레오닌의 서열을 가진 새로운 decapeptide이었고 ACE에 대하여 경쟁적으로 저해하였다.

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.

효소에 의한 가수분해로 식품단백질로부터 생리활성 peptide의 생성을 밝히기 위한 연구의 일환으로 효소에 의한 단백질 가수분해물의 ACE 저해작용을 검토한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 가수분해에 따른 ACE 저해능은 가수분해 8시간까지는 급격히 증가하다가 그 후로는 완만하게 증가하였으며, 특히 복합효소, bromelain 및 pepsin등에 의해 우수하게 나타났다. 그러나 trypsin 및 $\alpha$-chymotrypsin에 의한 egg albumin 및 casein 가수분해시에는 가수분해 8시간 이후에는 오히려 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 2. 단백질 가수분해물의 ACE 저해능은 첨가량의 증가와 함께 우수한 것으로 나타났으며, 가열에 대하여 비교적 안정한 것으로 나타났다. 3. 단백질 가수분해물의 아미노산 조성은 거의 유사한 것으로 나타났으며, 특히 glutamic acid의 함량이 월등히 많은 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 egg albumin 가수분해물의 경우는 glutamic acid의 함량이 적은 반면 alanine 및 cysteine의 함량이 다소 많은 것으로 나타났다 4. Gel 여과에 의한 단백질 가수분해물의 획분별 ACE 저해작용은 서로 비슷한 획 분에서 나타났으며 이 때의 분자량은 1,400부근으로 나타났다. 5. Gel 여과에 의한 ACE 저해작용 획분의 아미노산 조성은 서로 다른 것으로 나타났다.

Angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activities of elk antler hydrolysates prepared with three kinds of proteases, pepsin, trypsin and $\alpha-chymotrypsin$, were investigated. The ACE inhibitory activity of the pepsinolytic hydrolysate was the highest with an $IC_{50}$ value of $9.3\mu g/mL.$ In addition, three kinds of pepsinolytic hydrolysates with relatively high molecular weights (over 10,000 Da), medium molecular weights (5,000 to 10,000 Da), and low molecular weights (below 5,000 Da) were fractionated using an ultrafiltration membrane system. The below 5,000 Da hydrolysate exhibited the highest ACE inhibitory activity. These results indicate that the pepsinolytic hydrolysates of elk velvet antler could be a good source of peptides with ACE inhibitory activity.
