Abstract

Twenty-seven medicinal plants were selected on the basis of folkloric reputation for the treatment of hypertension or related deseases. Two solvent fractions were prepared from methanol extract of each plant and tested for their effects on angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) activities. Six solvent fractions showed more than 50% inhibition and four showed $40{\sim}50%$ inhibition at the conditions tested.
