DPP-IV Inhibitory Peptide against In Vitro Gastrointestinal Digestion Derived from Goat's Milk Protein and Its Activity Enhancement via Amino Acid Substitution. Foods 2024; 13:2721. [PMID: 39272487 PMCID: PMC11395612 DOI: 10.3390/foods13172721] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2024] [Revised: 08/23/2024] [Accepted: 08/26/2024] [Indexed: 09/15/2024] Open
Abstract
Goat milk protein can release a variety of bioactive peptides after digestion, while most of them are digested into free amino acids or dipeptides via the GI tract. We investigated the peptide profiles of goat milk protein following in vitro gastrointestinal digestion using LC-MS/MS and identified 683 bioactive peptides, including 105 DPP-IV inhibitory peptides. Among these peptides, ILDKVGINY (IL), derived from β-lactoglobulin, was found to be high in content and resistance to digestion. Herein, we explore the effect of amino acid residue substitution at the second N-terminus on its DPP-IV inhibitory activity. Three 9 polypeptide fragments (peptide IL, IP, and II) were synthesized and subjected to molecular docking and activity analysis. The peptide IL demonstrated the highest affinity for DPP-IV with a binding energy of -8.4 kcal/mol and a moderate IC50 value of 1.431 mg/mL determined based on the Caco-2 cell model. The replacement of specific amino acid residues by Pro and Leu led to an increase in the hydrophobic force interaction between the inhibitor peptide and DPP-IV. The inhibition rates of the three peptides were significantly different (p < 0.05). Peptide II containing an Ile residue instead of Leu resulted in a significant enhancement of DPP-IV inhibitory activity, with an IC50 value of 0.577 mg/mL. The GRAVY changes in the three peptides were consistent with the trend of the inhibitory rates. Therefore, the GRAVY of peptides and branch-chain amino acids should be considered in its activity improvement. The present study revealed the presence and activity of DPP-IV inhibitory peptides in goat milk, providing important insights for further investigation of their potential food functionality and health benefits.

Abstract
Bioactive peptides derived from foods provide physiological health benefits beyond nutrition. This study focused on profiling small peptide inhibitors against two key serine proteases, dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) and prolyl oligopeptidase (POP). DPP-IV is a well-known protein involved in diverse pathways regulating inflammation, renal, cardiovascular physiology, and glucose homeostasis. POP is yet another key target protein for neurodegenerative disorders. The study evaluated peptide libraries of buffalo colostrum whey and fat globule membrane proteins derived from pepsin and pepsin-pancreatin digestion through in silico web tools and structure-based analysis by molecular docking and binding free-energy estimation, followed by in vitro assay for DPP-IV inhibition for the lead peptides. The bioinformatic study indicated 49 peptides presented motifs with DPP-IV inhibition while 5 peptides with sequences for POP inhibition. In the molecular docking interactions study, 22 peptides interacted with active site residues of DPP-IV and 3 peptides with that of POP. The synthesized peptides, SFVSEVPEL and LTFQHNF inhibited DPP-IV in vitro with an IC50 of 193.5 μM and 1.782 mM, respectively. The study revealed the key residues for inhibition of DPP-IV and POP thus affirming the DPP-IV inhibitory potential of milk-derived peptides.

Abstract
Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) inhibitory peptides were screened and identified from yak hemoglobin for the first time by in silico analysis, molecular docking, and in vitro evaluation. Results showed that yak hemoglobin had a high potential to produce DPP-IV inhibitory peptides based on the sequence alignment and bioactive potential evaluation. Furthermore, "pancreatic elastase + stem bromelain" was the optimal combined-enzymatic strategy by simulated proteolysis. Additionally, 25 novel peptides were found from its simulated hydrolysate, among which 10 peptides had high binding affinities with DPP-IV by molecular docking. Most of these peptides were also in silico characterized with favorable physicochemical properties and biological potentials, including relatively low molecular weight, high hydrophobicity, several net charges, good water solubility, nontoxicity, acceptable sensory quality, and good human intestinal absorption. Finally, six novel DPP-IV inhibitory peptides were identified via in vitro assessment, among which EEKA (IC50 = 235.26 μM), DEV (IC50 = 339.45 μM), and HCDKL (IC50 = 632.93 μM) showed the strongest capacities. The hydrogen bonds and electrostatic attractions formed with core residues within the S2 pocket of DPP-IV could be mainly responsible for their inhibition performances. This work provided a time-saving method and broadened application for yak by-products development as sources of functional foods.

Abstract
Dipeptidyl Peptidase IV (DPP-IV) inhibitory peptides are attracting increasing attention, owing to their potential role in glycemic regulation by preventing the inactivation of incretins. However, few reviews have summarized the current understanding of DPP-IV inhibitory peptides and their knowledge gaps. This paper reviews the production, identification and structure-activity relationships (SAR) of DPP-IV inhibitory peptides. Importantly, their bioavailability and hypoglycemic effects are critically discussed. Unlike the traditional method to identifying peptides after separation step by step, the bioinformatics approach identifies peptides via virtual screening that is more convenient and efficient. In addition, the bioinformatics approach was also used to investigate the SAR of peptides. Peptides with proline (Pro) or alanine (Ala) residue at the second position of N-terminal are exhibit strong DPP-IV inhibitory activity. Besides, the bioavailability of DPP-IV inhibitory peptides is related to their gastrointestinal stability and cellular permeability, and in vivo studies showed that the glucose homeostasis has been improved by these peptides. Especially, the intestinal transport of DPP-IV inhibitory peptides and cell biological assays used to evaluate their potential role in glycemic regulation are innovatively summarized. For further successful development of DPP-IV inhibitory peptides in glycemic regulation, future study should elucidate their SAR and in vivo hypoglycemic effects .

[PMID: 34077352 DOI: 10.2174/1874467214666210601104117] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2021] [Revised: 03/14/2021] [Accepted: 03/15/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND We previously tested two angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and two dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors for dual enzyme inhibitory effect. Only two DPP-4 inhibitors, linagliptin and sitagliptin, were able to inhibit ACE. OBJECTIVE In the present study, we investigated if other inhibitors of ACE or DPP-4 could simultaneously inhibit the activities of both DPP-4 and ACE. METHODS Forty Sprague Dawley rats were used. The control group received saline only. The other three groups were treated with anagliptin, ramipril, or lisinopril. Two different doses were tested, separated with a 6-day drug-free interval. Angiotensin II (ang II) levels, the activities of ACE, and DPP-4 were measured from blood samples at baseline and days 1, 10, and 14. After the oral glucose challenge, levels of the active form of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) were measured. RESULTS Regardless of the dose, anagliptin did not show any inhibitory effect on the activity of ACE or ang II levels. For ramipril and lisinopril, only a high dose of lisinopril was able to produce a modest reduction of the DPP-4 activity, but it was not enough to inhibit the inactivation of GLP-1. CONCLUSION It seems that while most ACE inhibitors cannot affect DPP-4 activity, inhibitors of DPP-4 vary in their effect on ACE activity. The selection of DPP-4 inhibitors under different clinical situations should take into account the action of these drugs on ACE.

Abstract
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a highly prevalent disease cluster worldwide. It requires polypharmacological treatment of the single conditions including type II diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia, as well as the associated comorbidities. The complex treatment regimens with various drugs lead to drug-drug interactions and inadequate patient adherence, resulting in poor management of the disease. Multi-target approaches aim at reducing the polypharmacology and improving the efficacy. This review summarizes the medicinal chemistry efforts to develop multi-target ligands for MetS. Different combinations of pharmacological targets in context of in vivo efficacy and future perspective for multi-target drugs in MetS are discussed.

Abstract
Angiotensin-1 converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) improve insulin sensitivity. Inhibitors of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) are anti-diabetic drugs with several cardio-renal effects. Both ACE and DPP-4 share common features. Thus, we tested if they could be inhibited by one inhibitor. First, in silico screening was used to investigate the ability of different DPP-4 inhibitors or ACEIs to interact with DPP-4 and ACE. The results of screening were then extrapolated into animal study. Fifty Sprague Dawley rats were randomly assigned into 5 groups treated with vehicle, captopril, enalapril, linagliptin or sitagliptin. Both low and high doses of each drug were tested. Baseline blood samples and samples at days 1, 8, 10, 14 were used to measure plasma DPP-4 and ACE activities and angiotensin II levels. Active glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) levels were measured after oral glucose challenge. All tested DPP-4 inhibitors could interact with ACE at a relatively reasonable binding energy while most of the ACEIs only interacted with DPP-4 at a predicted high inhibition constant. In rats, high dose of sitagliptin was able to inhibit ACE activity and reduce angiotensin II levels while linagliptin had only a mild effect. ACEIs did not significantly affect DPP-4 activity or prevent GLP-1 degradation. It seems that some DPP-4 inhibitors could inhibit ACE and this could partially explain the cardio-renal effects of these drugs. Further studies are required to determine if such inhibition could take place in clinical settings.

Abstract
Due to the complexity of multifactorial diseases, single-target drugs do not always exhibit satisfactory efficacy. Recently, increasing evidence indicates that simultaneous modulation of multiple targets may improve both therapeutic safety and efficacy, compared with single-target drugs. However, few multitarget drugs are on market or in clinical trials, despite the best efforts of medicinal chemists. This article discusses the systematic establishment of target combination, lead generation, and optimization of multitarget-directed ligands (MTDLs). Moreover, we analyze some MTDLs research cases for several complex diseases in recent years and the physicochemical properties of 117 clinical multitarget drugs, with the aim to reveal the trends and insights of the potential use of MTDLs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Despite advances in our understanding of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and the treatment of each of its components separately, currently there is no single therapy approved to manage it as a single condition. Since multi-drug treatment increases drug interactions, decreases patient compliance and increases health costs, it is important to introduce single therapies that improve all of the MetS components. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION We conducted a PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, Web of Science, US FDA, utdo.ir and clinicaltrial.gov search, gathered the most relevant preclinical and clinical studies that have been published since 2010, and discussed the beneficial effects of dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP)-4 inhibitors to prevent and treat different constituent of the MetS as a single therapy. Furthermore, the pharmacology of DPP-4 inhibitors, focusing on pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, drug interactions and their side effects are also reviewed. RESULTS DPP-4 inhibitors or gliptins are a new class of oral anti-diabetic drugs that seem safe drugs with no severe side effects, commonly GI disturbance, infection and inflammatory bowel disease. They increase mass and function of pancreatic β-cells, and insulin sensitivity in liver, muscle and adipose tissue. It has been noted that gliptin therapy decreases dyslipidemia. DPP-4 inhibitors increase fatty oxidation, and cholesterol efflux, and decrease hepatic triglyceride synthase and de novo lipogenesis. They delay gastric emptying time and lead to satiety. Besides, gliptin therapy has anti-inflammatory and anti-atherogenic impacts, and improves endothelial function and reduces vascular stiffness. CONCLUSION The gathered data prove the efficacy of DPP-4 inhibitors in managing MetS in some levels beyond anti-diabetic effects. This review could be a lead for designing new DPP-4 inhibitors with greatest effects on MetS in future. Introducing drugs with polypharmacologic effects could increase the patient's compliance and decrease the health cost that there is not in multi-drug therapy. Graphical abstract ᅟ.

Abstract
The inhibition of dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) has emerged over the last decade as one of the most effective treatments for type 2 diabetes mellitus, and consequently (a) 11 DPP-IV inhibitors have been on the market since 2006 (three in 2015), and (b) 74 noncovalent complexes involving human DPP-IV and drug-like inhibitors are available at the Protein Data Bank (PDB). The present review aims to (a) explain the most important activity cliffs for DPP-IV noncovalent inhibition according to the binding site structure of DPP-IV, (b) explain the most important selectivity cliffs for DPP-IV noncovalent inhibition in comparison with other related enzymes (i.e., DPP8 and DPP9), and (c) use the information deriving from this activity/selectivity cliff analysis to suggest how virtual screening protocols might be improved to favor the early identification of potent and selective DPP-IV inhibitors in molecular databases (because they have not succeeded in identifying selective DPP-IV inhibitors with IC50 ≤ 100 nM). All these goals are achieved with the help of available homology models for DPP8 and DPP9 and an analysis of the structure-activity studies used to develop the noncovalent inhibitors that form part of some of the complexes with human DPP-IV available at the PDB.

Abstract
Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) is involved in incretin hormone processing and therefore plays a key role in glycemic regulation. This review summarizes the latest developments in food protein-derived DPP-IV inhibitory peptides. The in silico approaches currently used to develop targeted strategies for the enzymatic release of DPP-IV inhibitory peptides from food proteins are outlined. The features within the primary sequences of potent DPP-IV inhibitory di-, tri-, and larger peptides, having half maximal inhibitory activity (IC50 ) < 100 µM, were evaluated and the outcomes are presented herein. It is proposed that detailed analysis of those food derived peptides identified in humans following ingestion may constitute a practical strategy for the targeted identification of novel bioavailable DPP-IV inhibitory peptides. Human intervention studies are required as the specific role of food protein-derived DPP-IV inhibitory peptides in the regulation of glycaemia in humans remains to be fully elucidated. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: This review provides recent information on dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) inhibitory peptides arising from food protein hydrolysates. Small animal studies have demonstrated that food protein hydrolysates with in vitro DPP-IV inhibitory properties also display antidiabetic activity. DPP-IV inhibitory peptides may be used as food ingredients to improve glycemic regulation in Type 2 diabetics. Therefore, the development of potent DPP-IV inhibitory hydrolysates containing bioavailable peptides in humans is of significant interest. This may help in the formulation of foods containing physiologically relevant doses of bioactive hydrolysates/peptides. Acquisition of detailed knowledge of DPP-IV inhibitory peptide features via the utilization of in silico tools may help to optimize the release of potent DPP-IV inhibitory peptides during enzymatic hydrolysis of food proteins. This review provides information on features within the primary sequences of potent DPP-IV inhibitory peptides and current in silico strategies which may be used to inform on the targeted enzymatic hydrolysis of food proteins.
