The study investigates the structure-activity relationship of renin inhibitory peptides with a focus on replacing the histidyl residue at the P-2 site with a β-aspartyl residue to increase hydrophilicity and decrease peptide size. The researchers synthesized a series of peptides containing β-aspartyl and malic acid residues at the P-2 site and tested their inhibitory potency against human plasma renin. The peptides exhibited potent inhibitory activities in the subnanomolar range. Molecular modeling was conducted to explore the interactions between the enzyme and the inhibitors, suggesting that the Ser-229 conformer, where the carboxylic acid group is close to Ser-229, is more favorable for binding. The study concludes that the β-aspartyl and malic acid-containing peptides are effective renin inhibitors, with the malic acid analogues showing enhanced potency.
