Biological Activity
Description
IC50 & Target
IC50: 0.27μM (ACE)[1]
In Vitro
Intravenous injection of Leucylarginylproline (30mg/kg) causes a decrease in the blood pressure. The maximum mean blood pressure reduction (about 15 mmHg) occurrs about 2 min after the injection[1]. Leucylarginylproline peptide reduces the blood pressure by about 15 mmHg at the fourth hour and shows a maximal reduction effect of about 35 mmHg at the eighth hour after oral administration[2].
