Angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors have generally been very useful to remedy or prevent hypertension. This study describes the extraction and characterization of an ACE inhibitor from the fruiting body of Pholiota adiposa ASI 24012, which can be used as an antihypertensive drug. The maximal ACE inhibitory activity $(IC_{50};0.25mg)$ was obtained when the fruiting body of Pholiota adiposa ASI 24012 was extracted with distilled water at $30^{\circ}C$ for 12 h. After the purification of ACE inhibitor with ultrafiltration, Sephadex G-25 column chromatography, and reverse-phase HPLC, an active fraction with an $IC_{50}$ of 0.044 mg was obtained. The purified ACE inhibitory peptide was a novel pentapeptide, showing very little similarity to other ACE inhibitory peptide sequences. The molecular mass of the purified ACE inhibitor was estimated to be 414 daltons with a sequence of Gly-Glu-Gly-Gly-Pro, and showed a clear antihypertensive effect on spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) at a dosage of 1 mg/kg.

This study describes the characterization of a new angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptide from a Korean traditional rice wine. After purification of the ACE inhibitor peptides with ultrafiltration, Sephadex G-25 column chromatography, and successively $C_{18}$ and SCX solid-phase extraction, reverse-phase HPLC, and size exculsion chromatography, two types of the purified ACE inhibitors with $IC_{50}$ values of 0.34 mg/ml and 1.23 mg/ml were finally obtained. The two purified ACE inhibitors (F-1 and F-2) were found to have two kinds of novel oligopeptides, showing very little similarity to other ACE inhibitory peptide sequences. The amino acid sequences of the two purified oligopeptides were found to be Gln-Phe-Tyr-Ala-Val (F-1) and Ala-Gly-Pro-Val-Leu-Leu (F-2), and their molecular masses were estimated to be 468.7 Da (F-1) and 357.7 Da (F-2), respectively. They all showed a clear antihypertensive effect on spontaneously hypertensive rats at a dosage of 500 mg/kg.

Objectives : Artemisia capillaris Thunberg (AC) and Artemisia iwayomogi Kitamura (AI) have been used without distinguishment since ancient times due to similar appearance. In this study, we compared the inhibitory effects of AC and AI on the expression of inflammatory cytokines induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in murine macrophages. Methods : AC and AI were extracted by reflux with distilled water (DW) and 70% ethanol (EtOH). We investigated the inhibitory effects of AC and AI on the expression of nitric oxide (NO), inducible NO synthase (iNOS) and tumor necrosis $factor-{\alpha}$($TNF-{\alpha}$) induced by LPS in macrophages. Results : Firstly, yield of the samples was higher in order of Artemisia iwayomogi DW Extract (AID), Artemisia iwayomogi 70% EtOH Extract (AIE), Artemisia capillaris DW Extract (ACD) and Artemisia capillaris 70% EtOH Extract (ACE). All of the samples were not toxic in macrophages. The inhibitory effect of the samples on LPS-induced NO expression was stronger in the order of AIE, ACE, AID and ACD. The inhibitory effect of the samples on LPS-induced inducible iNOS expression was stronger in the order of AIE, ACE and AID. Effect of ACD was same with that of AID. In addition, inhibitory effect of the samples on LPS induced $TNF-{\alpha}$expression wes stronger in the order of AIE, ACE, AID and ACD. Conclusion: These results showed that AI would be more effective than AC and 70% EtOH would be more effective than DW as an extraction solvent in inflammatory diseases.

Eucommia ulmoides bark extracts by cold water, boiling water, 100% EtOH, 70% EtOH, 100% MeOH, 70% MeOH and $CHCl_3$ were assayed for their medicinal effects. The antioxidant activity of the extracts ranged from $IC_{50}$ 125.2 to $IC_{50}\;872.7{\mu}g/ml$ in the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DDPH) free radical-scavenging assay, and cold water extracts had the highest antioxidant activity. $CHCl_3$ extracts had the highest inhibitory effect on angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) giving inhibition of up to 56.4% at a concentration of 1 mg/ml. Extracts in 100% EtOH had the greatest inhibitory effect on $\acute{a}-amylase$ activity ($IC_{50}=174.6{\mu}g/ml$), and 70% MeOH extracts had the greatest inhibitory effect on ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ activity ($IC_{50}=14.0{\mu}g/ml$). Taken together, these results provided the in vitro evidence on the ACE, amylase and glucosidase inhibitory actions of E. ulmoides bark that form the pharmacological basis for its antihypertensive and antidiabetic action.

현대인의 기호식품인 차를 이용하여 비 발효차인 녹차와 3가지 발효차로 구분하여 식후 고혈당의 지표가 되는 알파글루코시데이스(α-glucosidase) 활성과 고혈압활성의 지표로 사용되는 안지오텐신전환효소(angiotensin converting enzyme, ACE)의 억제작용을 확인하였다. α-glucosidase 억제 활성의 상승효과를 알아보기 위해 녹차추출물에 인슐린과 유사기능이 있다고 밝혀진 바나듐을 미량(50 ㎍/mL)으로 혼합하여 α-glucosidase 활성 억제를 위한 상승효과 여부를 조사하였다. 또한 녹차의 기능성물질로 알려진 에피갈로카테킨 갈레이트(epigallocatechin gallate, EGCG)의 농도와 카페인(caffeine)의 농도를 측정하여 녹차와 발효차 효능을 분석하고자 하였다. 녹차와 발효차 추출물로부터 식후 혈당을 증가시키는 α-glucosidase 활성이 크게 억제되어 차의 식후 혈당저해 효과가 있음을 확인하였으며 차 추출물 중에서도 20% 발효차가 가장 우수한 기능을 보였다. 그러나 차 추출물만을 단독으로 처리한 경우와 바나듐과 함께 처리한 경우 서로 다른 결과를 보였다. α-glucosidase 저해효과는 저 농도(50 ㎍/mL)의 녹차와 바나듐 혼합 처리에서 단독 처리에 비해 저해활성이 2배나 증가되어 녹차가 바나듐과 가장 큰 상승효과를 보임을 알 수 있었다. ACE 저해활성은 모든 차 추출물에서 확인되었으나 녹차에서 가장 높게 조사되어 녹차가 다른 차에 비해 가장 높게 측정된 EGCG 농도의 효과로 생각되며 발효차의 식후 혈당강하 및 ACE 저해효과는 EGCG 외에 또 다른 기능성물질이 관여한 것임을 알 수 있었다.

기생초 꽃의 생리활성을 평가하여 천연물 유래 기능성 소재를 개발하기 위하여 에탄올 추출물 및 용매분획물의 항산화활성, ACE 저해활성, ${\alpha}$-glucosidase 억제능, 항염활성 및 항암활성을 측정하였다. 에탄올 추출물의 DPPH radical 소거 활성($IC_{50}$)과 ABTS radical 소거활성은 각각 $0.100mg{\cdot}mL^{-1}$ 및 3.427 AEAC였으며, 용매분획물 중 ethyl acetate 분획물이 각각 $0.034mg{\cdot}mL^{-1}$ 및 15.785AEAC으로 가장 높았으며, ACE 저해활성 및 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase 억제활성도 각각 40.96% 및 $0.125mg{\cdot}mL^{-1}$로 ethyl acetate 분획물이 우수하였다. 또한 에탄올 추출물, chloroform 및 ethyl acetate 분획물에서 세포독성 없이 효과적으로 NO의 생성을 억제하였고, 대장암 세포주에 대한 에탄올 추출물, n-hexane, chloroform 및 ethyl acetate 분획물의 $IC_{50}$값은 각각 0.208, 0.041, 0.142 및 $0.107mg{\cdot}mL^{-1}$으로 우수한 증식억제효과를 보였다. 이러한 결과를 종합하여 볼 때, 기생초 꽃의 우수한 생리활성을 이용한 기능성 소재로의 활용이 가능 할 것으로 판단된다.

고혈압 예방 효과를 가진 전통주를 개발하기 위하여 우선 엔지오텐신전환효소(ACE)저해 활성이 있다고 알려진 몇 가지 곡류를 이용하여 입국을 만들어 알콜 발효특성을 조사하였다. 또한 선정된 입국과 각종 두류분말을 덧밥에 첨가하여 전통주를 제조한 후 품질특성과 ACE저해 활성 및 기호도 등을 조사하였다. 수수 입국을 이용하여 전통주를 제조하였을 때 에탄올 생성량은 13.8%로 다른 입국으로 만든 술 보다 약간 낮았으나 ACE저해 활성은 43.3%로 제일 높았다. 또한 녹두가루를 덧밥의 50% 첨가하고 민들레꽃을 1% 첨가한 후 수수 입국과 주모로 $30^{\circ}C$에서 10일간 발효 시켰을때 에탄올 생성량과 항고혈압 활성을 나타내는 ACE저해 활성이 약 69%로 크게 증가하였고 맛과 향도 우수하였다.

키토산 올리고당이 ACE 저해활성과 SHR의 혈압에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 키토산 올리고당은 모두 ACE 저해활성을 나타내었다. ACE 저해활성$(IC_{50})$은 3량체가 $0.9\;{\mu}mole$로 가장 우수하였고 2량체의 경우에는 $2.4\;{\mu}mole$, 그 외의 올리고당은 모두 $>100\;{\mu}mole$였다. 강력한 ACE 저해제인 Captopril(2-D-mercaptopropanoyl-L-proline)의 인체 투여량을 기준으로 3량체 키토산 올리고당 2.14 mg/kg을 SHR에 강제 경구투여한 바, 4시간 경에 8주령 및 21주령 SHR모두 최저혈압을 보였고 이 때의 혈압 강하는 8주령 SHR $27{\pm}4.8\;mmHg$, 21주령 SHR $36{\pm}4.3\;mmHg$로 나타났다. 따라서 3량체 키토산 올리고당은 2량체 키토산 올리고당과 함께 향후 고혈압 치료제로서 응용가능함이 시사되었다.

Morphologically different 18 strains were isolated and examined for their abilities to inhibit ACE. Those strains were cultured in the medium containing 10% of soybean extract at 37$^{\circ}C$ for 48hr or fermented with boiled soybean at 3$0^{\circ}C$ for 60 days. The concentration of inhibitors to inhibit 50% of ACE activity, $IC_{50}$ was measured on the culture broth of each strain and also on the hot-water extract from 20, 40 and 60 day fermented Doenjang by each strain. As a result, SCB-3 which is isolated from Meju showed the highest ACE inhibitoryactivity on the cultured broth and 40 day matured Doenjang. Then, $IC_{50}$ of SCB-3 was 0.02 mg/ml and 0.26mg/ml respectively. SCB-3 was identified as a Bacillus subtilis based upon its morphological, biochemical and physiological properties. Changes in general components and ACE inhibitory activity of Doenjang fermented by SCB-3 were examined during 90 days. Total acidity of Doenjang was increased from 1.39% to 1.66% and pH was decreased from 6.02 to 5.79 after 90 days fermentation. Total sugar contents were decreased from 16.4% to 15.1% and reducing sugar contents was also decreased from 2.45% to 1.62%. Total nitrogen contents were nearly not changed, but amino nitrogen contents were drastically increased from 196mg% to 541mg%. The numbers of total microorganism were increased to 1.1$\times$$10^{8}$ cells/g after 45 days. Protease activity was increased to 622.1U/g after 75 days. The highest ACE inhibitory activity was shown in 60 day fermented Doenjang and $IC_{50}$ of the hot-water extract was 0.31mg/ml.
