Fish scales have potential in functional food preparation due to their antioxidant and antihypertensive properties. We investigated the angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity of Tilapia mossambica scale extracts. Hydrolysates of tilapia scales were prepared by enzymatic extraction using five proteases (${\alpha}$-chymotrypsin, Alcalase, Kojizyme, Protamex and trypsin) after scales were treated with hot water for 3 hr. Scale enzymatic hydrolysates prepared using both hot water and enzyme treatments exhibited elevated hydrolysis (about 25%-55%) compared to only enzyme treatment (about 15%-45%). Enzymatic hydrolysates (1 mg/mL) prepared by both hot water and enzyme treatments also showed significantly increased ACE inhibitory activities from about 20%-75%. The pattern of ACE inhibitory activities was similar to the degree of hydrolysis. Alcalase and ${\alpha}$-chymotrypsin hydrolysates displayed the highest ACE inhibitory activities ($IC_{50}$ = 0.83 mg/mL and 0.68 mg/mL, respectively). In addition, the ACE inhibitory effects of $IC_{50}$-chymotrypsin hydrolysates increased with decreasing molecular weight (5 kDa>, 10 kDa> and 30 kDa>), with the 5 kDa> fraction displaying the highest ACE inhibitory activity (about 89.9% and $IC_{50}$ = 0.1 mg/mL). We suggest that the peptide compounds of enzymatic hydrolysates prepared from tilapia scale enhances ACE inhibitory activity and might be useful as an antihypertensive material.

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.

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) in renin-angiotensin system is a cause of essential hypertension, which covers most hypertension, one of the major adult diseases. Thus, the inhibition of ACE would be indispensable for the prevention and cure of hypertension. Therefore, a lot of studies on the ACE inhibitor have been conducted. Peptides from the protein hydrolysate have been reported as an remarkable inhibitor. Especially, various ACE inhibitory peptides were isolated and identified from marine products for their utilization as value added products. (omitted)

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.

An angiotensin I-converting enzyme (EC 3.4.15.1) (ACE), which can convert inactive angiotensin I into angiotensin II, a vasoconstrictor, is one of the key enzymes in controlling hypertension. It is suggested that the inhibition of ACE prevents hypertension, and many inhibitory peptides have already been reported. In the current study, oligonucleotides encoding ACE inhibitory peptides (IY, VKY) were chemically synthesized and designed to be multimerised due to isoschizomer sites (BamHI, BglII). The cloned gene named AP3 was multimerised up to 6 times in pBluescript and expressed in BL2l containing pGEX-KG. The fusion protein (GST-AP3) was easily purified with a high recovery by an affinity resin, yielding 38 mg of synthetic AP3 from a 1-1 culture. The digestion of AP3 by chymotrypsin exhibited an $IC_50$ value of $18.53{\mu}M$. In conclusion, the present experiment indicated that AP3 could be used as a dietary antihypertensive drug, since the potent ACE inhibitory activity of AP3 could be activated by chymotrypsin in human intestine.

Inhibitory activities against angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) of enzymatic hydrolysates of porcine skeletal muscle proteins were investigated. Myosin B, myosin, actin, tropomyosin, troponin and water-soluble proteins extracted from pork loin were digested by eight kinds of proteases, including pepsin, $\alpha$-chymotrypsin, and trypsin. After digestion, hydrolysates produced from all proteins showed ACE inhibitory activities, and the peptic hydrolysate showed the strongest activity. In the case of myosin B, the molar concentration of peptic hydrolysate required to inhibit 50% of the activity increased gradually as digestion proceeded. The hydrolysates produced by sequential digestion with pepsin and $\alpha$-chymotrypsin, pepsin and trypsin or pepsin and pancreatin showed weaker activities than those by pepsin alone, suggesting that ACE inhibitory peptides from peptic digestion might lose their active sequences after digestion by the second protease. However, the hydrolysates produced by sequential digestion showed stronger activities than those by $\alpha$-chymotrypsin, trypsin or pancreatin alone. These results suggested that the hydrolysates of porcine meat were able to show ACE inhibitory activity, even if they were digested in vivo, and that pork might be a useful source of physiologically functional factors.

This study was designed to investigate the angiotensin convertin enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity of skipjack/yellowpin tuna cooking broth. The cooking broth was pretreated with membrane filter (MW cut-off 5,000) to obtain the peptide fraction with ACE inhibition. the crude peptides fractionated with Amberlite IR-120 ($H^{+}$ form and followed by Bio-gel P-2, were separated into nine fractions (T-1 to T-9). The maximum inhibitory activity was observed in the fraction T-4 ($IC_{50}$ value, 0.619mg/ml). The abundant amino acids obtained from active fraction T-4 were phenylaanine, leucine and glutamic acid.

오징어 가공 부산물인 오징어 간의 효율적 이용을 위하여 오징어 간을 이용하여 액젓을 제조하고 이들 액젓의 ACE 저해효과를 살펴보았다. 액젓의 ACE 저해활성은 12개월까지는 점차적으로 증가하였으나 그 이후에는 저해활성이 둔화되어 거의 일정한 저해활성을 유지하였다. 숙성 액젓 중 15개월째 액젓($IC_{50}=29.66\;{\mu}g$)을 한외여과막으로 통과시켜 회수한 분자량 10,000 Da 이하의 저분자물질을 Bio-gel P-2 gel chromatography를 행하여 ACE 저해효과를 가지는 3개획분을 분취하였다. 이들 획분 중에서 ACE 저해효과가 가장 높은 B 획분을 SuperQ-Toyopearl 650S column을 이용한 음이온 교환크로마토그래피에 의해 B-1의 활성획분을 분리하였다. 획분 B-1의 아미노산 조성은 lysine, glycine 및 proline의 함량이 가장 많아 전체의 약 85%를 차지하였으며 $IC_{50}$은 $5.46\;{\mu}g$으로 나타났다.
