Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) is known to be primarily responsible for hypertension. Threedimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) models have been constructed using the comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) and comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA) for a series of 28 ACE inhibitors. The availability of ACE crystal structure (1UZF) provided the plausible biological orientation of inhibitors to ACE active site (C-domain). Alignment for CoMFA obtained by docking ligands to 1UZF protein using FlexX program showed better statistical model as compared to superposition of corresponding atoms. The statistical parameters indicate reasonable models for both CoMFA ($q^2$ = 0.530, $r^2$ = 0.998) and CoMSIA ($q^2$ = 0.518, $r^2$ = 0.990). The 3D-QSAR analyses provide valuable information for the design of ACE inhibitors with potent activity towards C-domain of ACE. The group substitutions involving the phenyl ring and carbon chain at the propionyl and sulfonyl moieties of captopril are essential for better activity against ACE.

Recently it was reported that Insertion/Deletion polymorphism in the gene coding for Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE) is associated with human capacity for physical performance. This study was performed to genotyping of the ACE gene to determine the correlation between elite endurance performance and ACE I/D gene polymorphism. DNA sample was obtained from peripheral blood, hair roots and mouth epithelial cell in 739 general population and 200 elite athletic performance students. The ACE gene was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using allele specific oligonucleotide primers. 155, 525 bp and 237 bp PCR products indicating the presence of insertion(I) and deletion(D) alleles, respectively, were clearly resolved after electrophoresis on a 2% agarose gel with ethidium bromide. Of the 200 elite athletic performance population subjects, 68(34%) showed ACE genotype 11,100(50%) genotype ID and 32(16%) genotype DD. Of the 739 general population subjects, 259(35.1%) showed ACE genotype 11,363(49.1%) genotype ID and 117(15.8%) genotype DD. Therefore ACE I/D gene polymorphism was not associated with human capacity for physical performance.(p>0.05)

Identification of Actinomycetes isolate strain SH-8002, a producer of ACE inhibitor, based on procedures employed in the international Streptomyces project. The strain, designated as SH-8002, was identified as Streptomyces zoamyceticus SH-8002 based on its morphological, physiological, biochemical and chemotaxonomic characteristics. The ACE inhibitor produced by the strain was highly achieved in fermentation medium condition that was 1% soluble starch, 0.5% tryptone, 0.2% K$_{2}$HPO$_{4}$, 0.2% CaCO$_{3}$, 0.1% NaCl, pH 8.0 at 30$\circ$C for 144 hrs.

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.

안정성이 확보된 식품에서 ACE저해 활성 물질을 검색하는 연구의 일환으로, 옥수수 글루텐을 Flavourzyme, Pescalase, 그리고 Thermolysine/Pescalase 등으로 가수분해하여 얻은 가수 분해물로부터 ACE 활성 저해 펩타이드를 다음과 같은 과정으로 분리, 정제하였다. 10% 에탄올로 평형화된 ODS chromatography를 이용 단백질 분획들을 얻고, Bio-Gel P-2 column과 reverse phase HPLC를 통해 5개의 ACE 저해 펩타이드를 분리, 정제하였다. 그 아미노산 서열은 LPF($IC_{50}$ = 40 $\mu$M), GPP($IC_{50}$ = 17.6 $\mu$M), PNPY($IC_{50}$ = 30.7 $\mu$M), SPPPFYL($IC_{50}$/ = 63 $\mu$M), and SQPP($IC_{50}$ = 17.2 $\mu$M)로 밝혀졌다. 이 펩타이드들은 경구투석 시 가수분해 효소에 대응하여 체내에서 안정성이 뛰어나고, 소장에서도 쉽게 흡수될 것으로 사료되어 상시 섭취하는 식품이나 음료에 첨가하여 이용한다면 그 유용성이 기대된다.

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.

Previously, we made a study report on the genotype distribution and the gene frequency of angiotesin I-converting enzyme (ACE) in Korean population, and on the association between hypertension and genetic variance of ACE. This time, we have investigated a rapid mismatch-PCR/RFLP assays for the variant of the angiotesin II type 1 receptor ($AT_1R$) gene (an $A{\rightarrow}C$ transversion at position 1166 of $AT_1R$ gene), a mutation which may interact with the ACE polymorphism in the determining of risk of myocardial infarction. The genotype distributions of Koreans' angiotensin II type 1 receptor gene were AA (66.3%):AC (28.1%):CC (5.6%), thus the AA genotype was most numerous, and the allele frequency was A:C = 0.803:0.197. Genotype distributions were shown as AA (76.8%):AC (20.9%):CC (2.3%), the allele frequency was A:C = 0.872:0.128 in the male group, and AA (47.4%):AC (41.0%):CC (11.6%), A:C = 0.679:0.321 in the female group. Differences were highly significant between the male and female groups (p<0.0001). Genotype distributions between angiotensin II type 1 receptor gene and angiotensin converting enzyme gene showed that there is no significance between $AT_1R$ genotypes and ACE genotypes in total subjects (p>0.05).

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 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.
