The blood pressure of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) decreased after oral administration of an extract prepared from chicken breast muscle, falling maximally to 50 mmHg lower than before. This effect continued for at least 4 h after administration. The peptides possessing hypotensive activity in the chicken extract were examined by measuring the inhibitory activity (IC50) against angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE). The inhibitory activity of the chicken extract was 1060 mg%, whereas the activity of the extract treated with an Aspergillus protease and gastric proteases (trypsin, chymotrypsin, and intestinal juice) became stronger, reaching 1.1 mg%. Peptides in this hydrolysate of the extract were isolated by HPLC on a reversed-phase column, and their N-terminal sequences were analyzed. Three peptides possessed a common sequence, Gly-X-X-Gly-X-X-Gly-X-X, which was homologous with that of collagen. The peptide Gly-Phe-Hyp-Gly-Thr-Hyp-Gly-Leu-Hyp-Gly-Phe showed the strongest inhibitory activity (IC50 = 42 μM).

The precursor tripeptide of thymopentin was synthesized by a combination of chemical and enzymatic methods. First, Val-Tyr-OH dipeptide was synthesized by a novel chemical method in two steps involving preparation of NCA-Val. Second, the linkage of the third amino acid Z-Asp-OMe to Val-Tyr-OH was completed by an enzymatic method under kinetic control. An industrial alkaline protease alcalase was used in water-organic cosolvent systems. The synthesis reaction conditions were optimized by examining the effects of several factors including organic solvents, water content, temperature, pH, and reaction time on the yield of Z-Asp-Val-Tyr-OH. The optimum condition is of pH 10.0, 35C, acetonitrile/Na 2CO3-NaHCO3 buffer system (85:15, v/v), and reaction time of 2.5hr, which achieves tripeptide yield of more than 70%.

The cholecystokinin-8 (CCK-8)-inactivating peptidase is a serine peptidase which has been shown to be a membrane-bound isoform of tripeptidyl peptidase II (EC 3.4.14.10). It cleaves the neurotransmitter CCK-8 sulfate at the Met-Gly bond to give Asp-Tyr(SO3H)-Met-OH + Gly-Trp-Met-Asp-Phe-NH2. In seeking a reversible inhibitor of this peptidase, the enzymatic binding subsites were characterized using a fluorimetric assay based on the hydrolysis of the artificial substrate Ala-Ala-Phe-amidomethylcoumarin. A series of di- and tripeptides having various alkyl or aryl side chains was studied to determine the accessible volume for binding and to probe the potential for hydrophobic interactions. From this initial study the tripeptides Ile-Pro-Ile-OH (K(i) = 1 μM) and Ala-Pro-Ala-OH (K(i) = 3 μM) and dipeptide amide Val-Nvl-NHBu (K(i) = 3 μM) emerged as leads. Comparison of these structures led to the synthesis of Val-Pro-NHBu (K(i) = 0.57 μM) which served for later optimization in the design of butabindide, a potent reversible competitive and selective inhibitor of the CCK-8-inactivating peptidase. The strategy for this work is explicitly described since it illustrates a possible general approach for peptidase inhibitor design.
