Isolation and characterization of I5B2, a new phosphorus containing inhibitor of angiotensin I converting enzyme produced by Actinomadura sp.

Abstract
A new inhibitor of angiotensin I converting enzyme, 15B2, was isolated from the culture broth of Actinomadura sp. No. 937ZE-1. This compound contains N-methylvaline, tyrosine and 1-amino-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethylphosphonic acid. The microorganism also produced another inhibitor, I5B1, which is identical with K-4 isolated from Actinomadura sp. as an antihypertensive agent.
