| Abstract | Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) is known to be key factor for hypertension. Alkaloids are the principal constituents that may play a crucial role in the management of hypertension. The current objective of the study is to identify inhibitory affinity potential of the certain commercially available alkaloids, against crystal structure of human angiotensin-converting enzyme (4APH) using AutoDock 4.2. In this perspective, alkaloids like quinidine, quinine, tubocurarine, vinblastine, vincamine, vincristine and yohimbine were selected. Captopril, a known ACE inhibitor was used as the standard. All the selected compounds were analysed for Lipinski’s rule of five. In the docking studies, conformational site analysis and docking parameters like binding energy, inhibition constant and intermolecular energy were determined using AutoDock 4.2. The selected compounds and the standard showed the following amino acid residues are responsible for the inhibitory affinity potential ASP 1, ARG 2, VAL 3, TYR 4, ARG 522 along with hydrogen bonding interactions. The selected compounds exhibited the binding energy ranging between −9.56 and −5.82 kcal/mol when compared with that of the standard (−5.38 kcal/mol). Inhibition constant (97.64 nM to 53.96 μM) of the alkaloids also coincide with the binding energy. The compounds exhibited the intermolecular energies ranging between −11.40 and −9.14 kcal/mol. The current molecular simulation study predicted the ACE inhibitory activity of the selected compounds. Hence, these compounds can be further evaluated to develop potential chemical molecules for the prevention and management of hypertension. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
