Abstract
Novel angiotensin-l-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activities were detected in synthetic peptides corresponding to sequences of β-lactoglobulin and α-lactalbumin and which are known to possess opioid activity. Using hippuryl-histidyl-leucine as substrate, the tetrapeptides β-lactorphin (Tyr-Leu-Leu-Phe), alactorphin (Tyr-Gly-Leu-Phe) and β-lactotensin (HisIle-Arg-Leu) were shown to have ICso values of 171.8, 733.3 and 1153.2 JAM, respectively. Related dipeptides also inhibited ACE, with Tyr-Leu being the most potent, having an ICso value of 122.1 \M.
