The evaluation of several antihypertensive activity of Brazilian plant species was performed using in vitro inhibition of the angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE). Nineteen species belonging to 13 families were investigated. Plants were selected based on their use as diuretics and on a chemosystematic consideration. Extracts of the following species presented the highest ACE inhibition rate, at concentrations of 0.33 mg/ml: Ouratea semiserrata (Mart. & Nees) Engl. stems (68%), Cuphea cartagenesis (Jacq.) Macbride leaves (50%) and Mansoa hirsuta DC. leaves (54%). Some hypotheses about the nature of the compounds that may be responsible for the activity of these species are discussed in the paper.
