Antioxidant activity of peptides derived from egg white proteins by enzymatic hydrolysis

This work reports the antioxidant activity of peptides produced by enzymatic hydrolysis of crude egg white with pepsin. Four peptides included in the protein sequence of ovalbumin possessed radical scavenging activity higher than that of Trolox. The hydrolysate of egg white with pepsin for 3 h was previously found to exhibit a strong angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity in vitro. The combined antioxidant and ACE inhibition properties make it a very useful multifunctional preparation for the control of cardiovascular diseases, particularly hypertension. No correlation was found between antioxidant and ACE inhibitory activities. However, the peptide Tyr-Ala-Glu-Glu-Arg-Tyr-Pro-Ile-Leu, which was a strong ACE inhibitor (50% inhibitory concentration, 4.7 microM) also exhibited a high radical scavenging activity (oxygen radical absorbance capacity-fluorescein value, 3.8 micromol of Trolox equivalent per micromol of peptide) and delayed the low-density lipoprotein lipid oxidation induced by Cu2+ at a concentration of approximately 0.16 mg/mg of low-density lipoprotein. Present results support that antioxidant peptides and amino acids not only act individually, but also cooperatively and synergistically.     

Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptides from fermented sausages inoculated with Lactobacillus plantarum CD101 and Staphylococcus simulans NJ201

Natural ACE inhibitory peptides derived from food are considered to be an effective supplement for lowering blood pressure. This study investigated the effects of Lactobacillus plantarum CD101 and Staphylococcus simulans NJ201 on proteolysis and the sequence composition of ACE inhibitory peptides in fermented sausages. The ACE inhibitory activity of the inoculated group reached the maximum values on day 35 during the production of fermented sausages. A more positive effect in the hydrolysis of the sarcoplasmic and myofibrillar protein was observed in the inoculated group through sodium dodecyl sulphate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The free amino acid content of the inoculated group was 865.21 ± 12.55 mg/100 g, which was significantly higher (P < 0.05) than that of the control group. The molecular weight distribution showed a significant increase (P < 0.05) in peptides with a molecular weight less than 1 kDa in the inoculated group. A total of thirty-four peptides with high hydrophobicity were identified by liquid chromatograph-mass spectrometer/mass spectrometer (LC–MS/MS). Furthermore, the peptides were isolated and purified using gel filtration chromatography (GFC) and reversed-phased high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). Eleven novel peptides were identified by Nano-LC-ESI-MS/MS, in which VALSLSRP with X-Pro structure exhibited the highest ACE inhibition rate (75.36 ± 2.45%). These results indicated that mixed starters are conducive to protein degradation and the formation of peptides with high ACE inhibitory activity, especially peptides less than 1 kDa, and could be used as a functional material for antihypertensive drugs.     

Bioactivity of hydrolysates obtained from bovine casein using artichoke (Cynara scolymus L.) proteases

The objective of this work was to obtain casein hydrolysates with aspartic proteinases present in extracts from the artichoke flower (Cynara scolymus L.) and evaluate their antioxidant, antimicrobial, and angiotensin-I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity in vitro. The casein hydrolysates produced by the action of C. scolymus had elevated antihypertensive and antioxidant activity due to their high hydrophobic peptide content (93.84, 96.58, and 90.54% at 2, 4, and 16 h of hydrolysis, respectively). Hydrolysis time and molecular weight (<3 kDa) had a significant influence on the hypertensive and antioxidant activity of the hydrolysates, which were greater at hydrolysis times of 4 and 16 h and corresponding to the <3 kDa fractions. The <3 kDa fraction of the 16 h hydrolysate had an ACE inhibitory activity with a half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC₅₀) of 71.77 µg peptides per mL; DPPH and ABTS^•+ radical scavenging activities of 6.27 µM and 6.21 mM Trolox equivalents per mg of peptides, respectively; and iron (II) chelation activity with an IC₅₀ of 221.49 µg of peptides per mL. Antimicrobial activity against Enterococcus faecalis was also observed in the hydrolysates. From the peptide sequences identified in the hydrolysates, we detected 22 peptides (from the BIOPEP database) that were already in their bioactive form (AMKPWIQPK, AMKPWIQPKTKVIPYVRYL, ARHPHPHLSFM, DAQSAPLRVY, FFVAPFPEVFGK, GPVRGPFPII, KVLPVPQK, LLYQEPVLGPVRGPFPIIV, MAIPPKKNQDK, NLHLPLPLL, PAAVRSPAQILQ, RELEELNVPGEIVESLSSSEESITR, RPKHPIKHQ, RPKHPIKHQGLPQEVLNENLLRF, SDIPNPIGSENSEK, TPVVVPPFLQP, VENLHLPLPLL, VKEAMAPK, VLNENLLR, VYPFPGPIH, VYQHQKAMKPWIQPKTKVIPYVRY, VYQHQKAMKPWIQPKTKVIPYVRYL) and are reported to display antioxidant, antimicrobial, and ACE inhibitory activity. We also identified 12,116, 14,513, and 25,169 peptide sequences in the hydrolysates at 2, 4, and 16 h, respectively, that were contained in the primary sequence, and these are reported to display ACE inhibitory, antioxidant, dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibition, antithrombotic, opioid, immunomodulation, antiamnesic, anticancer, chelating, and hemolytic bioactivity.     

Primary and secondary structure of novel ACE-inhibitory peptides from egg white protein

The primary structure of novel angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptide from egg white protein was investigated, and secondary structure of the peptide was explored for the first time. The potential effects of bioactive peptides were submitted to bioactivity screening with ACE inhibitory activity, antioxidant property, and anticoagulation activity. Bioactive peptides from egg white protein were characterized by LC tandem mass spectrometric, and secondary structures of those peptides were investigated by FT-IR. Our results showed that total 11 bioactive peptides with three new and eight known structures were identified with LC/MS/MS, which then were synthesized by Fmoc solid phase method. Peptide Thr-Asn-Gly-Ile-Ile-Arg (TNGIIR) exhibited higher activity against ACE to other two new peptides. The concentration of the peptide TNGIIR, necessary to inhibit 50% the activity of ACE was 70 μM. Results also suggested that the secondary structural differences between peptides could also influence the ACE inhibition capacity. Thus, it appears that primary and secondary structure of peptide plays the potential role inhibiting the ACE activity.     

In vitro study on digestion of peptides in Emmental cheese: analytical evaluation and influence on angiotensin I converting enzyme inhibitory peptides

A simple in vitro protocol simulating gastrointestinal digestion of proteins and peptides to investigate the effect of digestive enzymes on the biological activity of peptides present in dairy products was developed. This protocol consisted in a 30 min incubation with pepsin followed by a 4 h incubation with trypsin or pancreatin. It was applied to an Emmental cheese water-soluble extract (WSE) and to a casein solution (as a control). Sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) allowed to monitor the digestion of proteins. Reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) allowed to monitor the conversion of proteins and peptides into peptides and amino acids: it is proposed to use the mean retention time corresponding to the overall retention time distribution of molecules to assess the effect of digestive enzymes. The biological activity focused in this study was the angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity. Digestion of Emmental WSE induced an increase of the ACE inhibition as compared to undigested WSE while a 10 kDa ultrafiltered WSE lost a part of its ACE inhibitory activity after digestion process. These results strongly suggest that digestive enzymes diminished the ACE inhibition by the peptides present in Emmental cheese WSE, while the digestion of peptides of high molecular weight would generate new ACE inhibitory peptides.     

Identification of antioxidant and ACE‐inhibitory peptides in fermented milk

The angiotensin‐converting enzyme (ACE)‐inhibitory activity and antioxidant properties of a commercial fermented milk from Europe were evaluated. This dairy product showed moderate ACE‐inhibitory activity and ABTS^?+ radical‐scavenging capacity. The peptides from most active fractions collected by reverse phase high‐performance liquid chromatography (RP‐HPLC) were sequenced by RP‐HPLC–tandem mass spectrometry. This technique allowed rapid identification of peptides included in the most active fractions, and various potentially active peptides were recognised according to previous studies of structure–activity relationship. Three of the identified sequences had previously been described as potent ACE inhibitors. The structure of some sequences substantiated the presence of peptides with ACE‐inhibitory, antioxidant and immunomodulatory activities. Copyright © 2005 Society of Chemical Industry     

Positively charged peptides from casein hydrolysate show strong inhibitory effects on LDL oxidation and cellular lipid accumulation in Raw264.7 cells

Inhibiting low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation and cellular lipid accumulation to reduce foam cell formation plays a key role in preventing atherosclerosis. Casein hydrolysate (66% < 1 kDa) was separated into four different charged fractions. The inhibitory effect of peptide fractions on LDL oxidation and cellular lipid accumulation was analysed using a CuSO₄ cell-free system and a Cu²⁺-mediated and ox-LDL-induced Raw264.7 macrophage cell-based system. Casein peptide fractions not only significantly inhibited LDL oxidation but also prevented cellular lipid accumulation. Positively charged fractions exhibited stronger inhibitory effects than negatively charged fractions. Seven peptides with different charge properties were synthesised. With the increase in net positive charge, the ability of peptides to inhibit LDL oxidation was enhanced. Peptides containing lysine presented better inhibition than those that contained histidine. This study suggests that casein hydrolysate, especially positively charged peptide fractions, could be used as a natural antioxidant in functional foods to prevent atherosclerosis.

Biologically active peptides obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis of Adzuki bean seeds

This study investigated the antioxidant and antihypertensive activities of peptides obtained from protein fractions of Adzuki bean seeds. Peptides were obtained by the use of hydrolytic enzymes in vitro under gastrointestinal conditions. A determination was made of the activity of the peptide inhibitors of the angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE), and the antiradical and ion chelating activity of peptides from different protein fractions. The highest peptide levels after the absorption process (<7 kDa) were noted in the albumin fraction (50.69 μg/ml). Furthermore, it was found that peptides from the prolamin fraction were characterised by the highest antiradical activity and ACE inhibitory activity (IC₅₀ = 0.17 mg/ml). Peptides obtained from the globulin fraction showed the highest ability to chelate iron ions, and peptides from the glutelin fraction were characterised as being the most effective in the chelation of copper ions.

Fractionation of angiotensin I converting enzyme inhibitory activity from pea and whey protein in vitro gastrointestinal digests

In vitro gastrointestinal digestion of pea and whey protein produced high angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity with IC₅₀ values of 0.070 and 0.041 mg protein ml^?1 respectively. Ultrafiltration/centrifugation using a membrane with a molecular weight cut‐off of 3000 Da decreased the IC₅₀ value to 0.055 mg protein ml^?1 for pea permeate and 0.014 mg protein ml^?1 for whey permeate. Further fractionation by reverse phase HPLC gave IC₅₀ values as low as 0.016 mg protein ml^?1 for pea and 0.003 mg protein ml^?1 for whey. Consequently, these purification steps enriched the ACE inhibitory activity of the pea digest more than four times and that of the whey digest more than 13 times. HPLC profiles after digestion and ultrafiltration indicate that high ACE inhibitory activity is due to short and more hydrophobic peptides. The results also suggest that potent ACE inhibitory peptides were present alongside low active peptides in whey hydrolysate, while all peptides had more or less the same ACE inhibitory activity in pea hydrolysate. In addition, the hydrolysates and enriched fractions will resist in vivo gastrointestinal digestion after oral administration. Hence these ACE inhibitory peptides, as part of functional foods, can play significant roles in the prevention and treatment of hypertension. Copyright © 2004 Society of Chemical Industry     

Angiotensin-I converting enzyme inhibitory and antioxidant activities of egg protein hydrolysates produced with gastrointestinal and nongastrointestinal enzymes

Egg is a well-known rich source of bioactive peptides. In this study, egg protein (egg white and egg yolk proteins) hydrolysates were produced with gastrointestinal enzymes (pepsin and pancreatin) or nongastrointestinal enzymes (thermolysin and alcalase), and fractionated by ultrafiltration and cation exchange chromatography. Angiotensin-I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory and antioxidant activities, amino acid composition and molecular weight distribution were studied, and the physicochemical properties were related with the bioactivities. Our results showed that egg protein hydrolysates produced with non-GI enzymes (thermolysin and alcalase) showed significantly higher ACE inhibitory activity, whereas similar or even lower antioxidative activities, than those of hydrolysates produced with GI enzymes. ACE-inhibitory activity significantly correlated with the amino acid composition, especially the proportion of positively charged amino acid, whereas antioxidant activities correlated with the proportion of low molecular weight peptides under 500 Da. Understanding the relationship between the bioactivities and physicochemical properties of the hydrolysates/fractions is important to facilitate the development technologies for preparing fractions with improved bioactivities.     

动植物源蛋白体外消化产物结构性质及ACE抑制活性

为揭示动植物源蛋白对于血压调节功能上的差异是否由蛋白肽的血管紧张素转化酶（angiotensin conversion enzyme,ACE）抑制活性所引起,动植物蛋白经体外消化后,对蛋白肽的ACE活性抑制进行研究。采用胃蛋白酶-胰蛋白酶两步消化法,水解植物蛋白（大米、燕麦、大豆、豌豆）、红肉蛋白（猪肉、牛肉）和白肉蛋白（鸡肉）。测定所获蛋白肽的水解度、分子质量分布、氨基酸组成及其ACE抑制率。结果表明,随着蛋白质水解度的增加和分子质量的减小,3类蛋白消化产物的ACE活性抑制率均相应增大。其中,植物蛋白消化产物ACE抑制率最高（60.41%）,红肉蛋白最低（40.13%）。对蛋白质消化产物的氨基酸组成进行分析,结果表明,植物蛋白和白肉蛋白消化产物的疏水性氨基酸含量均显著高于红肉蛋白。3类蛋白中消化产物的疏水性氨基酸含量越高,则ACE抑制活性越高,说明疏水性氨基酸含量高可能是植物蛋白肽具有高的ACE抑制活性的主要原因之一。     

Novel angiotensin-I-converting enzyme inhibitory peptides derived from recombinant human alpha s1-casein expressed in Escherichia coli.

Recombinant human alpha s1-casein expressed in Escherichia coli was purified and digested with trypsin in an attempt to find peptides with angiotensin-I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity. Three novel ACE inhibitory peptides, A-II, B-II and C, were isolated and their amino acid sequences identified as Tyr-Pro-Glu-Arg (residues 8-11), Tyr-Tyr-Pro-Gln-Ile-Met-Gln-Tyr (residues 136-143) and Asn-Asn-Val-Met-Leu-Gln-Trp (residues 164-170) respectively. ACE inhibitory activities were measured for the corresponding synthetic peptides, and the ACE IC50 (the amount of peptide causing 50% inhibition of ACE activity) values of A-II, B-II and C estimated to be 132.5, 24.8 and 41.0 mumol/l respectively. Peptides A-II and C were resistant to further digestion by pepsin, whereas peptide B-II was hydrolysed. All three peptides were resistant to digestion by chymotrypsin. These ACE inhibitory peptides may prove useful for oral administration in the treatment of hypertension.     

Preparation and identification of angiotensin I-converting enzyme inhibitory peptides from sweet potato protein by enzymatic hydrolysis under high hydrostatic pressure

Sweet potato protein hydrolysates (SPPH) with angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity were prepared by papain, pepsin and alcalase under high hydrostatic pressure (HHP, 100–300 MPa). HHP significantly increased degree of hydrolysis (DH), nitrogen recovery (NR) and molecular weight (MW) <3 kDa fractions contents of SPPH by all three enzymes (P < 0.05). MW < 3 kDa peptide fractions from SPPH by alcalase under 100 MPa showed the highest ACE inhibitory activity (IC₅₀ value 32.24 µg mL⁻¹), and was subjected to purification and identification by semi-preparative RP-HPLC and LC-MS/MS. Fifty-four peptides ranged from 501.28 to 1958.88 Da with 5–18 amino acids were identified and matched sporamin A and B sequences. Five identified peptides with sequences of VSAIW, AIWGA, FVIKP, VVMPSTF and FHDPMLR displayed good ACE inhibitory activity with the contribution of Val, Trp, Phe and Arg. Thus, SPPH by enzymatic hydrolysis under HHP can be potentially used in functional food.     

Grass carp peptides hydrolysed by the combination of Alcalase and Neutrase: Angiotensin‐I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity,antioxidant activities and physicochemical profiles

In this study, grass carp peptides were prepared by enzymatic hydrolysis of grass carp protein using the combination of Alcalase and Neutrase, and angiotensin‐I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity in vitro, antihypertensive activity in vivo, antioxidant activities, and physicochemical properties of peptides achieved from grass carp protein were characterised after ultrafiltration and desalted processes using mixed ion exchange resins. The purified peptides exhibited strong ACE inhibitory activity (IC₅₀ = 105 μg mL^?1), antihypertensive activity with the maximal drop for systolic blood pressure (SBP) of 43 mmHg at a dosage of 100 mg per kg body weight in spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR), and antioxidant activities indicated by thiobarbituric acid‐reactive substance values in a liposome‐oxidising system, radical‐scavenging activity and chelation of metal ions (Fe²⁺). The molecular weight of peptides was <1000 Da. Compared to grass carp protein, the peptides separated from enzymatic hydrolysates possessed similar amino acid compositions, but contained higher concentrations of essential amino acids. Moreover, the peptides exhibited excellent solubility at a wide range of pH values from 2 to 10, and lower apparent viscosity than the protein. The peptides separated from enzymatic hydrolysates might be used as a promising ingredient in antihypertensive functional foods and nutraceuticals.
