Abstract
The application of traditional Chinese medicine dispensing granules is becoming increasingly prevalent. However, the consistency of dispensing granules with traditional decoction remains controversial. In this study, the consistency of peptide composition and pharmacodynamics between dispensing granules and traditional decoction of Bombyx batryticatus (BB) were assessed. A peptidomics method based on LC-tandem mass spectrometry technology was used to evaluate peptide composition similarity between BB traditional decoction and dispensing granules. The results revealed notable differences in peptide sequences between the two dosage forms, with only 8.55% of peptides shared between them. To evaluate the potential pharmacodynamic effects of the two dosage forms on epilepsy, virtual screening was used to identify potential active peptides, including blood-brain barrier permeability, toxicity prediction, and molecular docking. BB traditional decoction demonstrated a higher number and greater abundance of potential active peptides than BB dispensing granules, suggesting that BB traditional decoction may have a more favorable effect in treating epilepsy compared with BB dispensing granules. Moreover, molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation studies confirmed the mechanism of action of active peptides to γ-aminobutyric acid transporter 1 (GAT-1). This study provides a scientific basis for the evaluation of quality consistency between BB traditional decoction and dispensing granules.

Mechanistic Study of Novel Dipeptidyl Peptidase IV Inhibitory Peptides from Goat's Milk Based on Peptidomics and In Silico Analysis. Foods 2024; 13:1194. [PMID: 38672866 PMCID: PMC11049645 DOI: 10.3390/foods13081194] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2024] [Revised: 04/01/2024] [Accepted: 04/05/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Two novel dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) inhibitory peptides (YPF and LLLP) were discovered from goat milk protein by peptidomics, in silico analysis, and in vitro assessment. A total of 698 peptides (<23 AA) were successfully identified by LC-MS/MS from goat milk hydrolysates (hydrolyzed by papaian plus proteinase K). Then, 105 potential DPP-IV inhibitory peptides were screened using PeptideRanker, the ToxinPred tool, Libdock, iDPPIV-SCM, and sequence characteristics. After ADME, physicochemical property evaluation, and a literature search, 12 candidates were efficiently selected and synthesized in vitro for functional validation. Two peptides (YPF and LLLP) were found to exert relatively high in vitro chemical system (IC50 = 368.54 ± 12.97 μM and 213.99 ± 0.64 μM) and in situ (IC50 = 159.46 ± 17.40 μM and 154.96 ± 8.41 μM) DPP-IV inhibitory capacities, and their inhibitory mechanisms were further explored by molecular docking. Our study showed that the formation of strong non-bonding interactions with the core residues from the pocket of DPP-IV (such as ARG358, PHE357, GLU205, TYR662, TYR547, and TYR666) might primarily account for the DPP-IV inhibitory activity of two identified peptides. Overall, the two novel DPP-IV inhibitory peptides rapidly identified in this study can be used as functional food ingredients for the control of diabetes.

Abstract
The goal of this work is to use a variety of in-silico techniques to identify anti-diabetic agents against DPP-IV enzyme from five main curcumin analogues. To produce the successful molecules, five main curcumin analogues were docked into the active site of DPP-IV enzyme. In comparison to the control molecule (Saxagliptin, -6.9 kcal/mol), all the compounds have the highest binding affinity (-7.6 to -7.7 kcal/mol) for the DPP-IV enzyme. These compounds underwent further testing for studies on drug-likeness, pharmacokinetics, and acute toxicity to see the efficacy and safety of compounds. To assess the stability of the docking complex and the binding posture identified during the docking experiment, our study got THC as the lead compound, which was then exposed to 200 ns of molecular dynamic simulation and PCA analysis. Additionally, DFT calculations were conducted to determine the thermodynamic, molecular orbital, and electrostatic potential characteristics of lead compound. Overall, the lead chemical has shown strong drug-like properties, is non-toxic, and has a sizable affinity for the DPP-IV enzyme.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
This study aimed to screen out antibacterial peptides derived from sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) through in silico and in vitro methods. In silico proteolysis of sesame proteins with pepsin, trypsin, and chymotrypsin was performed with the online server BIOPEP-UWM. The CAMPR3 online server was used to predict the antimicrobial effect of peptides. The ToxinPred, PepCalc, and AllergenFP tools were utilized to forecast the physicochemical properties, toxicity, and allergen of the peptides. Molecular docking analysis showed that six cationic antimicrobial peptides could directly interact with the key sites of dihydropteroate synthase, whereas Ala-Gly-Gly-Val-Pro-Arg and Ser-Thr-Ile-Arg exhibited the strongest binding affinity. In vitro antibacterial experiment showed the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of Ser-Thr-Ile-Arg against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus was 1024 and 512 µg/mL, respectively. Meanwhile, MIC of Ala-Gly-Gly-Val-Pro-Arg against both bacterial species was 512 µg/mL. Our results suggest that peptides from sesame possess the ability to potentially hinder bacterial activity.

Abstract
Zearalenone (ZEN) is a mycoestrogen produced by Fusarium fungi contaminating cereals and in grain-based products threatening human and animal health due to its endocrine disrupting effects. Germane to the mechanisms of action, ZEN may activate the estrogen receptors and inhibit the estrogens-producing enzyme aromatase (CYP19A1). Both show single nucleotide variants (SNVs) among humans associated with a diverse susceptibility of being activated or inhibited. These variations might modify the endocrine disrupting action of ZEN, requiring dedicated studies to improve its toxicological understanding. This work focused on human aromatase investigating via 3D molecular modelling whether some of the SNVs reported so far (n = 434) may affect the inhibitory potential of ZEN. It has been also calculated the inhibition capability of α-zearalenol, the most prominent and estrogenically potent phase I metabolite of ZEN, toward those aromatase variants with an expected diverse sensitivity of being inhibited by ZEN. The study: i) described SNVs likely associated with a different susceptibility to ZEN and α-zearalenol inhibition - like T310S that is likely more susceptible to inhibition, or D309G and S478F that are possibly inactive variants; ii) proofed the possible existence of inter-individual susceptibility to ZEN; iii) prioritized aromatase variants for future investigations toward a better comprehension of ZEN xenoestrogenicity at an individual level.

Integration of Deep Learning and Sequential Metabolism to Rapidly Screen Dipeptidyl Peptidase (DPP)-IV Inhibitors from Gardenia jasminoides Ellis. Molecules 2023; 28:7381.

Abstract
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) possesses unique advantages in the management of blood glucose and lipids. However, there is still a significant gap in the exploration of its pharmacologically active components. Integrated strategies encompassing deep-learning prediction models and active validation based on absorbable ingredients can greatly improve the identification rate and screening efficiency in TCM. In this study, the affinity prediction of 11,549 compounds from the traditional Chinese medicine system's pharmacology database (TCMSP) with dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) based on a deep-learning model was firstly conducted. With the results, Gardenia jasminoides Ellis (GJE), a food medicine with homologous properties, was selected as a model drug. The absorbed components of GJE were subsequently identified through in vivo intestinal perfusion and oral administration. As a result, a total of 38 prototypical absorbed components of GJE were identified. These components were analyzed to determine their absorption patterns after intestinal, hepatic, and systemic metabolism. Virtual docking and DPP-IV enzyme activity experiments were further conducted to validate the inhibitory effects and potential binding sites of the common constituents of deep learning and sequential metabolism. The results showed a significant DPP-IV inhibitory activity (IC50 53 ± 0.63 μg/mL) of the iridoid glycosides' potent fractions, which is a novel finding. Genipin 1-gentiobioside was screened as a promising new DPP-IV inhibitor in GJE. These findings highlight the potential of this innovative approach for the rapid screening of active ingredients in TCM and provide insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying the anti-diabetic activity of GJE.

Abstract
Coffee, a widely consumed beverage worldwide, undergoes postharvest methods that influence its physicochemical characteristics, while roasting modulates its composition, affecting sensory attributes. This study investigates the impact of distinct postharvest methods (washed and natural) on the antidiabetic activities, including α-amylase and DPP4, as well as the phytochemical profiling of geological indicator (GI) coffee beans (Coffea arabica L.). The results indicate notable differences in antidiabetic activity and phytochemical profiles between washed and natural processing methods. Coffee beans processed naturally exhibit significant suppression of DPP4 and α-amylase activities (p-value < 0.01) compared to beans processed using the washed technique. TLC profiling using the ratios of the solvent systems of ethyl acetate/dichloromethane (DCM) and acetone/DCM as separation solvents reveals dominant spots for the washed technique. LC-MS/MS-based untargeted metabolomics analysis using principle component analysis (PCA) clearly segregates samples processed by the natural and washed techniques without any overlap region. A total of 1114 phytochemicals, including amino acids and short peptides, are annotated. The natural processing of coffee beans has been shown to yield a slightly higher content of chlorogenic acid (CGA) compared to the washed processing method. Our findings highlight the distinct bioactivities and phytochemical compositions of GI coffee beans processed using different techniques. This information can guide consumers in choosing coffee processing methods that offer potential benefits in terms of alternative treatment for diabetes.

Abstract
PURPOSE Inhibition of dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) is an effective therapy for treating type II diabetes (T2D) that has been widely applied in clinical practice. We aimed to evaluate the DPP-IV inhibitory properties of ginger protease hydrolysate (GPH) and propose a comprehensive approach to screen and evaluate DPP-IV inhibitors. METHODS We evaluated the in vitro inhibitory properties of fish skin gelatin hydrolysates produced by five proteases, namely, neutral protease, alkaline protease, bromelain, papain, and ginger protease, toward DPP-IV. We screened the most potent DPP-IV inhibitory peptide (DIP) using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) coupled with in silico analysis. Next, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technology was innovatively introduced to explore the interactions between DPP-IV and DIP, as well as the IC50. Furthermore, we performed oral administration of DIP in rats to study its in vivo absorption. RESULTS GPH displayed the highest degree of hydrolysis (20.37%) and DPP-IV inhibitory activity (65.18%). A total of 292 peptides from the GPH were identified using LC-MS/MS combined with de novo sequencing. Gly-Pro-Hyp-Gly-Pro-Pro-Gly-Pro-Gly-Pro (GPXGPPGPGP) was identified as the most potent DPP-IV inhibitory peptide after in silico screening (Peptide Ranker and molecular docking). Then, the in vitro study revealed that GPXGPPGPGP had a high inhibitory effect on DPP-IV (IC50: 1012.3 ± 23.3 μM) and exhibited fast kinetics with rapid binding and dissociation with DPP-IV. In vivo analysis indicated that GPXGPPGPGP was not absorbed intact but partially, in the form of dipeptides and tripeptides. CONCLUSION Overall, the results suggested that GPH would be a natural functional food for treating T2D and provided new ideas for searching and evaluating potential antidiabetic compounds. The obtained GPXGPPGPGP can be structurally optimized for in-depth evaluation in animal and cellular experiments.

An In Silico Framework to Mine Bioactive Peptides from Annotated Proteomes: A Case Study on Pancreatic Alpha Amylase Inhibitory Peptides from Algae and Cyanobacteria. Nutrients 2022; 14:nu14214680. [PMID: 36364940 PMCID: PMC9658718 DOI: 10.3390/nu14214680] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2022] [Revised: 10/24/2022] [Accepted: 11/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
Bioactive peptides may exert beneficial activities in living organisms such as the regulation of glucose metabolism through the inhibition of alpha amylases. Algae and cyanobacteria are gaining a growing interest for their health-promoting properties, and possible effects on glucose metabolism have been described, although the underlying mechanisms need clarification. This study proposes a computer-driven workflow for a proteome-wide mining of alpha amylase inhibitory peptides from the proteome of Chlorella vulgaris, Auxenochlorella protothecoides and Aphanizomenon flos-aquae. Overall, this work presents an innovative and versatile approach to support the identification of bioactive peptides in annotated proteomes. The study: (i) highlighted the presence of alpha amylase inhibitory peptides within the proteomes under investigation (including ELS, which is among the most potent inhibitory tripeptides identified so far); (ii) mechanistically investigated the possible mechanisms of action; and (iii) prioritized further dedicated investigation on the proteome of C. vulgaris and A. flos-aquae, and on CSSL and PGG sequences.

Proteomics Characterization of Food-Derived Bioactive Peptides with Anti-Allergic and Anti-Inflammatory Properties. Nutrients 2022; 14:nu14204400. [PMID: 36297084 PMCID: PMC9609859 DOI: 10.3390/nu14204400] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2022] [Revised: 10/17/2022] [Accepted: 10/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Bioactive peptides are found in foods and dietary supplements and are responsible for health benefits with applications in human and animal medicine. The health benefits include antihypertensive, antimicrobial, antithrombotic, immunomodulatory, opioid, antioxidant, anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory functions. Bioactive peptides can be obtained by microbial action, mainly by the gastrointestinal microbiota from proteins present in food, originating from either vegetable or animal matter or by the action of different gastrointestinal proteases. Proteomics can play an important role in the identification of bioactive peptides. High-resolution mass spectrometry is the principal technique used to detect and identify different types of analytes present in complex mixtures, even when available at low concentrations. Moreover, proteomics may provide the characterization of epitopes to develop new food allergy vaccines and the use of immunomodulating peptides to induce oral tolerance toward offending food allergens or even to prevent allergic sensitization. In addition, food-derived bioactive peptides have been investigated for their anti-inflammatory properties to provide safer alternatives to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). All these bioactive peptides can be a potential source of novel drugs and ingredients in food and pharmaceuticals. The following review is focused on food-derived bioactive peptides with antiallergic and anti-inflammatory properties and summarizes the new insights into the use of proteomics for their identification and quantification.

Abstract
This work aimed to identify novel angiotensin-converting-enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptides from Macadamia integrifolia antimicrobial protein 2 (MiAMP2). The MiAMP2 protein was hydrolyzed through in silico digestion, and the generated peptides were screened for ACE inhibitory activity. The in silico enzyme digestion results revealed that 18 unreported peptides were obtained using AHTPDB and BIOPEP-UWM, and none were thought to be toxic based on absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADMET) prediction. PGPR, RPLY, MNPQR, and AAPR were predicted to exhibit good biological activity. The molecular docking results revealed that the four peptides tightly bound to the active pocket of ACE via hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions, among which RPLY and MNPQR bound to ACE more strongly. The in vitro assay results confirmed that RPLY and MNPQR peptides inhibited ACE via competitive manner. These results provide theoretical guidance for the development of novel foodborne antihypertensive peptides from Macadamia nut proteins. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: This study provides new insight on the inhibitory potential of Macadamia nut peptides against ACE, which may be further applied to the development of antihypertensive peptides in the medical industry.

Compr Rev Food Sci Food Saf 2022; 21:1732-1776. [PMID: 35142435 DOI: 10.1111/1541-4337.12911] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2021] [Revised: 12/07/2021] [Accepted: 12/22/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
Food-derived bioactive peptides (BAPs) are recently utilized as functional food raw materials owing to their potential health benefits. Although there is a huge amount of scientific research about BAPs' identification, purification, characterization, and physiological functions, and subsequently, many BAPs have been marketed, there is a paucity of review on the regulatory requirements, bioavailability, and safety of BAPs. Thus, this review focuses on the toxic peptides that could arise from their primary proteins throughout protein extraction, protein pretreatment, and BAPs' formulation. Also, the influences of BAPs' length and administration dosage on safety are summarized. Lastly, the challenges and possibilities in BAPs' bioavailability and regulatory requirements in different countries were also presented. Results revealed that the human studies of BAPs are essential for approvals as healthy food and to prevent the consumers from misinformation and false promises. The BAPs that escape the gastrointestinal tract epithelium and move to the stomach are considered good peptides and get circulated into the blood using different pathways. In addition, the hydrophobicity, net charge, molecular size, length, amino acids composition/sequences, and structural characteristics of BAPs are critical for bioavailability, and appropriate food-grade carriers can enhance it. The abovementioned features are also vital to optimize the solubility, water holding capacity, emulsifying ability, and foaming property of BAPs in food products. In the case of safety, the possible allergenic and toxic peptides often exhibit physiological functions and could be produced during the hydrolysis of food proteins. It was also noted that the production of iso-peptides bonds and undesirable Maillard reaction might occur during protein extraction, sample pretreatments, and peptide synthesis.
