Abstract:

On the basis of the classical method of the determination of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) activity, the solvent induced phase separation extraction (SIPSE) method and spectrophotometry were employed for the extraction and determination of hippuric acid (HA) formed during enzymatic reaction. Captopril was used as the model for the verification of the developed method. Based on the method, a traditional chinese prescription (Gastrodia and Uncaria Decoction) and the 11 kinds of main medicinal ingredients in the prescription were measured for ACE inhibition. The results show that the SIPSE method is highly selective and efficient in extracting of HA, and the recovery of HA is (97.47±0.55)%(n=3). By necessary correction, the SIPSE-spectrophotometric method is accurate and sufficient for the direct evaluation of the ACE inhibitory activity of high-matrix samples.
