Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) indirectly increases blood pressure by causing blood vessels to constrict. ACE does that by converting angiotensin I to angiotensin II, which constricts the vessels. ACE, angiotensin I and angiotensin II are part of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), which controls blood pressure by regulating the volume of fluids in the body. ACE is secreted in the lungs and kidneys by cells in the endothelium (inner layer) of blood vessels. It has two primary functions: ACE catalyses the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor in a substrate concentration-dependent manner. ACE degrades bradykinin, a potent vasodilator, and other vasoactive peptides. These two actions make ACE inhibition a goal in the treatment of conditions such as high blood pressure, heart failure, diabetic nephropathy, and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Inhibition of ACE (by ACE inhibitors) results in the decreased formation of angiotensin II and decreased metabolism of bradykinin, leading to systematic dilation of the arteries and veins and a decrease in arterial blood pressure.

    Diminazene aceturate (Standard)
    		Activator
    Diminazene (aceturate) (Standard) is the analytical standard of Diminazene (aceturate). This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Diminazene aceturate (Diminazene diaceturate) is an anti-trypanosome agent for livestock. The main biochemical mechanism of the trypanocidal actions of Diminazene aceturate is by binding to trypanosomal kinetoplast DNA (kDNA) in a non-intercalative manner through specific interaction with sites rich in adenine-thymine base pairs. Diminazene aceturate is also an angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) activator and has strong and potent anti-inflammatory properties.

    ε-Biotinamidocaproyl-β-alanyl-β-alanyl-lisinopril
    		Inhibitor
    ε-Biotinamidocaproyl-β-alanyl-β-alanyl-lisinopril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. Structurally, ε-Biotinamidocaproyl-β-alanyl-β-alanyl-lisinopril is a biotinylated derivative of lisinopril (HY-18206), with a chemical structure linking the biotin molecule and the lisinopril molecule composed of 19 atoms. ε-Biotinamidocaproyl-β-alanyl-β-alanyl-lisinopril can bind to both ACE and streptavidin (HY-P3152) simultaneously, making it possible to separate and purify ACE using streptavidin-agarose beads.

    Vicenin 3 (Standard)
    		Inhibitor
    Vicenin 3 (Standard) is the analytical standard of Vicenin 3. Vicenin 3 is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor (IC50 = 46.91 μM) that can be isolated from the aerial parts of Desmodium styracifolium. Vicenin 3 ameliorates IL-1β-induced extracellular matrix degradation in SW1353 chondrocytes by regulating the MAPK pathway. Vicenin 3 can be used for the study of osteoarthritis (OA) and hypertension.

    Imidapril hydrochloride (Standard)
    		Inhibitor
    Imidapril (hydrochloride) (Standard) is the analytical standard of Imidapril (hydrochloride). This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Imidapril hydrochloride (TA-6366) is an orally active dual inhibitor of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and MMP-9. Imidapril hydrochloride inhibits lipopolysaccharide-induced phosphorylation of c-Jun, MKK4 and JNK in monocytes, and downregulates the production of specific inflammatory factors such as TNF-α and IP-10, thereby exerting anti-inflammatory activity. Imidapril hydrochloride also effectively ameliorates mesangial expansion and reduces urinary albumin excretion by inhibiting angiotensin AngII production, lowering glomerular pressure and oxidative stress, thus delaying disease progression. Imidapril hydrochloride can also directly bind to the active site of MMP-9 to inhibit gelatinase activity, and suppress the enlargement of cerebral aneurysms without altering systemic blood pressure. Imidapril hydrochloride is widely applicable to related studies on autoimmune glomerulonephritis, diabetic nephropathy, cerebral aneurysms and other conditions.
