| Abstract: | The Hawthorn and Olive are known from ancient time as phytotherapics with beneficial effect on heart and circulatory system, decreasing or regulating the blood pressure. By HPLC analysis were identified polyphenols with proved effect on angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE), the key compound of blood pressure regulation through renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. The chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, luteolin, quercitrin and even hyperosid, have the structural elements to block the active center of ACE. Due by the fact that these compounds are in significant quantities, we can conclude that these phyto- and gemmotherapic extracts’s normo- or hypotensive effect is done also by the mechanism of ACE inhibition. |
