	abstract = {<p style="text-align: justify;">Solvent fractions and decoction of <em>Eleusine indica</em> leaves were tested for their ability to inhibit angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), an important component of the Renin-Angiotensin- Aldosterone System which is a critical regulator of arterial blood pressure. The ACE inhibitory activity of each fraction was measured by employing a colorimetric assay based on the hydrolysis of histidyl-hippuryl-leucine (HHL) by ACE. Preliminary assay results revealed that the ethyl acetate fraction exhibited the highest antihypertensive activity with a percent inhibition of 51.51\%. This fraction was considered for further isolation using a bioassay-guided fractionation scheme.</p>},
