Angiotensin-converting Enzyme (ACE)

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.

    Hippuryl-His-Leu-OH
    Substrate
    Hippuryl-His-Leu-OH (N-Benzoyl-Gly-His-Leu) is a specific substrate for angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE I) and a molecular tool used for ACE activity detection in in vitro experiments. Hippuryl-His-Leu-OH is hydrolyzed by ACE through competitive binding. Under ACE catalysis, Hippuryl-His-Leu-OH undergoes hydrolysis to produce hippuric acid (HA). The amount of HA produced can be used to quantitatively assess ACE activity or screen for ACE inhibitors. The released His-Leu can also react with o-phthalaldehyde or Fluorescamine (HY-D0715) for fluorescence detection. Hippuryl-His-Leu-OH can be applied to the in vitro screening of ACE inhibitors for hypertension and cardiovascular diseases, and is also used in the study of ACE activity changes in physiological and pathological processes such as renal compensatory hypertrophy.

    Inhibitor
    MDL-100240 is a dual-acting angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and neutral endopeptidase (NEP) inhibitor. MDL-100240 can significantly lower blood pressure, reverse left ventricular hypertrophy, and effectively prevent hypertrophy and dilatation of the aorta and resistance arteries, with an effect comparable to that of ramipril (HY-B0279). In addition, MDL-100240 can also reduce aldosterone levels, but has no significant effect on atrial natriuretic peptide and cGMP. In 3-month-old transgenic rats, MDL-100240 can reduce adrenomedullin concentrations, prevent and reverse severe hypertension and cardiovascular damage, and enhance bradykinin effects.
