Inhibitory effects of L-pipecolic acid from the edible mushroom, Sarcodon aspratus, on angiotensin I-converting enzyme

The aqueous extract of the edible mushroom Sarcodon aspratus showed inhibitory effects against angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE). l -Pipecolic acid ( l -piperidine-2-carboxylic acid) was isolated from a hot-water extract in a 0.02% yield as an active principle. The mode of inhibition of l -pipec...

Description
Summary:The aqueous extract of the edible mushroom Sarcodon aspratus showed inhibitory effects against angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE). l -Pipecolic acid ( l -piperidine-2-carboxylic acid) was isolated from a hot-water extract in a 0.02% yield as an active principle. The mode of inhibition of l -pipecolic acid was found to be competitive, whereas its d -isomer showed no significant inhibitory effects against ACE, suggesting that the configuration of the carboxyl group in the molecule plays an important role in the enzyme inhibition.
