One of the derivatives of flavonoid explored is chlorogenic acid. Chlorogenic acid has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity. Hypertension has support for Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) which has a role in regulating the renin-angiotensin system. Hypertension therapy is carried out in inhibit ACE pathway. This study aims to analyse and assess the potential of chlorogenic acid as an antihypertensive material by inhibiting the work of ACE. We used in silico approach to make our model. Chlorogenic acid ligand was obtained from PubChem while ACE was obtained from RCSB. Interaction of ligand and protein using HEX 8.0.0. Analysis and visualization of the results of interactions using Discovery Study Version 4.1. The results showed an interaction between ligand and protein, namely interactions that occur between chlorogenic acid and sixteen amino acid residues. This interaction produces energy of-292.5cal/mol. This interaction approved the ACE block in the AT-I transformation towards AT-II. Chlorogenic acid has potential as an anti-hypertension material.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
