A Vitis hybrid-Vitis coignetiae red wine was vinified by fermentation of a mixture of a Vitis hybrid.Vitis coignetiae must with Saccharomyces cerevisiae KCTC 7904 at $25^{\circ}C$ for 10 days. The Vitis hybrid-Vitis coignetiae red wine showed high antihypertensive angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity (67.8%) and antioxidant activity (76.7%). The antihypertensive ACE inhibitor in the Vitis hybrid-Vitis coignetiae red wine was partially purified by solid phase extraction chromatography, and its ACE inhibitory activity yielded an $IC_{50}$ of 1.8 mg/mL. Six kinds of oligopeptides, including five new kinds, were contained in the partially purified ACE inhibitor fraction from the red wine after 10 days of fermentation. Antioxidant activity decreased significantly from 76.7% to 40.5% when the post-fermentation period was prolonged to 30 days.

Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor acts on the inhibition of ACE and causes a decrease in blood pressure. There have been several reports on screening of ACE inhibitors from natural food products and protein hydrolysates of various food sources. Ripe Cucurbita moschata Duch has been used as an oriental medicine in Korea. To isolate ACE inhibitors, crude water extracts of the edible portion of ripe Cucurbita moschata Duch were obtained after heating in water at 95$^{\circ}C$ for 2 h. Crude extracts were then filtered using PM-10 and YM-1 membranes. The membrane-filtered solution was loaded onto Sephadex G-15 column equlibrated with a phosphate buffer. Among the four major fractions of gel permeation chromatography, the second fraction had the highest inhibitory activity of 65%. Further purification of the fraction using reversed-phase HPLC with a $C_{18}$ column produced ACE inhibitors, which were identified as a mixture having molecular mass of 222 and 273 by Tandem mass spectrometry.

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.

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.

A new set of functional group interaction energy descriptors relevant to the ACE (Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme) inhibitory peptide, QSAR (Quantitative Structure Activity Relationships), is presented. The functional group interaction energies approximate the charged interactions and distances between functional groups in molecules. The effective energies of the computationally derived geometries are useful parameters for deriving 3D-QSAR models, especially in the absence of experimentally known active site conformation. ACE is a regulatory zinc protease in the renin-angiotensin system. Therapeutic inhibition of this enzyme has proven to be a very effective treatment for the management of hypertension. The non bond interaction energy values among functional groups of six-feature of ACE inhibitory peptides were used as descriptor terms and analyzed for multivariate correlation with ACE inhibition activity. The functional group interaction energy descriptors used in the regression analysis were obtained by a series of inhibitor structures derived from molecular mechanics and semi-empirical calculations. The descriptors calculated using electrostatic and steric fields from the precisely defined functional group were sufficient to explain the biological activity of inhibitor. Application of the descriptors to the inhibition of ACE indicates that the derived QSAR has good predicting ability and provides insight into the mechanism of enzyme inhibition. The method, functional group interaction energy analysis, is expected to be applicable to predict enzyme inhibitory activity of the rationally designed inhibitors.

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.

대두발효식품의 기능성 탐색 연구의 일환으로 Bacillus natto 를 접종한 납두의 발효과정 중 고혈압을 유발하는 angiotension converting enzyme의 저해 peptide를 분리하고 저해효과를 검토함으로서 대두발효식품의 우수성을 입증하기 위한 과학 적 접근을 시도하고자 하였다. 납두는 Bacillus natto균을 이용하여 제조하였고, 2$0^{\circ}C$, 3$0^{\circ}C$, 4$0^{\circ}C$, 5$0^{\circ}C$, 6$0^{\circ}C$에서 0~72시간 동안 배양하면서 protein량, protease activity, ACE 저해율 을 측정하고 저해활성을 가지는 peptide를 정제 후 아미노산 조상을 분석하였다. Bacillus natto에 의한 납두의 발효시간이 경과함에 따라 protein 함량이 증가하여 4$0^{\circ}C$, 60시간에서 최대를 나타낸 후 감소하였다. 발효시간에 따른 protease activity는 4$0^{\circ}C$, 60 시간 배양이 최적의 조건이었으며, 최적 발효조건에 따라 납두를 제조한 후 20 mM sodium phosphate buffer(pH 7.0)를 가해 추출한 추출물을 Amicon membrane YM-3 filtration 과 Sephadex G-10, G-25를 이용한 gel filtration으로 부분정제하였다. 또한 정제한 peptide는 첨가함량이 높아질수록 저해활성은 높게 나타났으며, 1 mg 정도의 peptide 함량으로 74.74%의 저해율 을 나타내었다. 정제한 peptide의 아미노산 조성은 alanine(30.84%), phenylalanine(30.03%), histidine(20.24%) 순서로 그 함량이 높게 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.
