The acetone extract of Pleurotus citrinopileatus showed a moderate inhibitory activity against the angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE). The 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) of the extract for ACE activity was 50.2 mg ml⁻¹. D-mannitol was isolated as an active principle with a yield of 5.75 %. The IC₅₀ value of the compound was 33.4 mg ml⁻¹. D-arabitol and glycerol were also detected in the acetone extract. D-arabitol acted as an ACE inhibitor, whereas only limited activity was observed by the dose of glycerol.
