Effect of BR-900317 on the angiotensin I-induced pressor response in pithed rats and the effects of its single oral administration on plasma angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) activities in normotensive rats and on the cardiovascular system in hypertensive model rats (SHR, RHR), were compared with those of captopril. BR-900317 attenuated the angiotensin I-induced pressor effects in pithed rats. In a single oral dose administration study, BR-900317 inhibited the plasma ACE activities in a dose-dependent fashion. Duration of the action of BR-900317 was similar to that of captopril. BR-900317 produced antihypertensive effect in spontaneously hypertensive rats and dose-dependent antihypertensive effect in 2-kidney Goldblatt hypertensive rats without affecting heart rate. These results suggest that the main mechanism of the antihypertensive effect of BR-900317 is the suppression of angiotensin II production due to the inhibition of the ACE.

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.

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.

본 실험은 한우 육단백질의 가수분해물로부터 항고혈압 활성을 측정하기 위하여 실시한 것으로서 한우 등심과 우둔으로부터 추출한 myosin B를 pepsin으로 가수분해하여 가수분해물들의 전기영동 결과, 가열처리와 가수분해 시간의 증가에 따라 단백질의 소실이 증가하였다. 항 고혈압 활성을 측정한 결과 10 ug/ml의 희석된 가수분해물의 ACE 억제효과는 1시간 이상 가수분해 시키면 약 40%의 억제율을 가졌다. 가수분해물 원액으로 ACE 억제효과를 살펴본 결과에서는 등심이 우둔보다 높았으며 (p<0.05), 비가열 가수분해물이 가열한 가수분해물 보다 억제율이 높게 나타났다 (p<0.05). 또한, 가수분해 시간별 처리구에서는 1시간 이상 가수분해 시키면 약 70% 이상의 억제율을 갖는 것으로 나타나 한우의 myosin B를 1시간 이상 가수분해하면 ACE 억제율이 증진되는 것으로 사료된다.

전통발효주 막걸리의 기능성을 증명하기 위하여 S사막걸리로부터 구입한 막걸리 침전물의 여러 가지 생리활성에 대하여 조사하였다. 우선 막걸리 침전물 열수 추출물의 항산화 효과를 측정하기 위해 DPPH radical 소거능과 SOD 유사활성을 측정하였다. 그 결과 DPPH법을 통해 측정한 막걸리 침전물 열수 추출물의 radical 소거능은 10 mg/ml에서 48.0%으로 나타났으며, 농도가 증가함에 따라 유의적으로 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 또한 SOD 유사활성은 10 mg/ml 농도에서 98.7%로 비교적 높은 SOD 유사활성을 보였다. 항고혈압 활성 측정 실험에서는 현재 시판되고 있는 항고혈압제인 captopril은 0.1 mg/ml에서 93.4%의 ACE 억제효과가 나타났고, 막걸리 침전물 열수 추출물 10 mg/ml에서는 74.0%의 높은 저해 활성을 나타내었다. 따라서, 막걸리 침전물 열수 추출물은 인체에 부작용이 적은 천연 항고혈압소재로서 이용가능성이 높은 것으로 사료된다. 아질산염 소거능 측정 실험에서는 positive control인 Vit. C1 mg/ml의 경우 pH 1.2와 3.0에서는 74~64%, pH 6.0에서는 45%의 소거능을 보인반면, 막걸리 침전물 열수 추출물의 경우 pH 1.2와 3.0에서는 51~42%, pH 6.0에서는 28%의 소거능을 나타내었다. 막걸리 침전물 열수 추출물의 숙취해소 효능은 ADH와 ALDH 활성증진에 막걸리 침전물 열수 추출물이 미치는 영향을 조사함으로써 증명하고자 하였다. 그 결과, 알콜과 acetaldehyde 분해능은 높게 나타났다. 이상의 결과들은 막걸리 침전물의 우수한 기능성으로서의 이용 가능성에 대한 기초자료로 그 가치가 기대된다.

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.

Angiotensin I converting enzyme inhibitory activities of shelled krill (Euphausia superba) hydrolysates by autolysis and by hydrolysis with commercial proteases were analyzed. Among the proteases, Alcalase was the most effective protease for the hydrolysis of krill considering the degree of hydrolysis $(87.5\%)$ and the ACE inhibitory activity $(60\%)$. Four hour hydrolysis suggested as the most suitable and economic. In order to establish the optimum hydrolysis condition of krill, degree of hydrolysis and ACE inhibitory activity as affected by Alcalase concentration and water amount added were statistically analyzed by response surface methodology (RSM). The optimum hydrolysis condition was $2.0\%$ Alcalase hydrolysis in 2 volumes (v/w) of water at $55\% for 4 hr. The hydrolysate prepared from the optimum hydrolysis condition was fractionated by molecular weight. The lower molecular weight fraction showed the higher ACE inhibitory activity. $IC_{50}$ of the fraction under 500 Da was 0.57mg protein/mL.

50가지 식물자원을 대상으로 혈압상승을 주도하는 효소인 angiotensin converting enzyme의 저해활성을 검색하였다. 그결과 추출물농도 1mg/ml에서 50%이상의 높은 저해활성을 보인 식물은 산뽕나무, 머위, 산부추, 돌나물, 꿀풀, 쇠비름, 마가목, 복분자, 속새, 감초, 창포 등 11종으로 나타났다. 또한 1mg/ml농도에서 목단, 곰취, 도인, 길경, 만형자, 참취, 익모초, 산조인, 가래나무, 석곡, 오갈피, 목향 등 12종은 $40{\sim}49%$의 비교적 높은 ACE 억제활성을 보였다. 1mg/ml에서 $30{\sim}39%$의 억제율을 보인 식물은 백부자, 백출, 세신, 당귀, 인삼, 천궁, 치자 등이었으며 현호색, 행인, 단삼, 백작약, 두충 강활 박하, 진피, 방기, 고본, 구기자, 홍화, 포황, 음양곽, 원지등은 $10{\sim}29%$의 낮은 저해활성을 보였다. 앞으로 ACE 억제활성이 높은 식물자원의 유효성분에 대한 물질확인과 동물모델을 이용한 효능검증에 대하여 더 많은 연구가 있어야 할 것으로 사료된다.

We investigated the antioxidant and angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activities of red snow crab Chionoecetes japonicas shell (RSCS) hydrolysate by enzymatic hydrolysis and its molecular weight cut-off fractions. The RSCS hydrolysate was fractionated through two ultrafiltration membranes of 3 and 10 kDa cut-offs. Three fractions (<3 kDa, 3-10 kDa, and >10 kDa) were evaluated for total amino acid composition, antioxidant activities using 2'-azino-bis[3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid] ($ABTS^+$) radical scavenging and superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activities and reducing power assays, and ACE inhibitory activity using Hou's method. Although all fractions showed activity, the <3 kDa fraction of RSCS hydrolysate exhibited the greatest $ABTS^+$ radical scavenging, SOD-like and ACE inhibitory activities. However, these fractions exhibited low reducing power. These results suggest that the low-molecular-weight enzymatic hydrolysate of RSCS could be used as a functional ingredient to control oxidative stress and ACE activity.

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.
