How to design a potent, specific, and stable angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor

- Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors are an important class of drugs, which exhibits the potential for further development.
- A crucial point of ACE-I discovery is the comprehension of the biology of their molecular target.
- The insight of historical aspect of ACE-I design lays the foundation for appropriate SAR studies.
- Finding the mathematical relationship between potency or stability and structure facilitates the process of ACE-I development.
