Abstract
Hyperuricemia (HU) is a metabolic disorder caused by the overproduction or underexcretion of uric acid (UA) in the human body. Several approved drugs for the treatment of HU are available in the market; however, all these allopathic drugs exhibit multiple side effects. Therefore, the development of safe and effective anti-HU drugs is an urgent need. Natural compounds derived from foods and plants have the potential to decrease UA levels. Recently, food-derived bioactive peptides (FBPs) have gained attention as a functional ingredient owing to their biological activities. In the current review, we aim to explore the urate-lowering potential and the underlying mechanisms of FBPs. We found that FBPs mitigate HU by reducing blood UA levels through inhibiting key enzymes such as xanthine oxidase, increasing renal UA excretion, inhibiting renal UA reabsorption, increasing anti-oxidant activities, regulating inflammatory mediators, and addressing gut microbiota dysbiosis. In conclusion, FBPs exhibit strong potential to ameliorate HU.

Abstract
Hyperuricemia, a disorder of uric acid metabolism, serves as a significant risk factor for conditions such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, renal failure, and various metabolic syndromes. The main contributors to hyperuricemia include overproduction of uric acid in the liver or impaired excretion in the kidneys. Despite traditional clinical drugs being employed for its treatment, significant health concerns persist. Recently, there has been growing interest in utilizing protein peptides sourced from diverse food origins to mitigate hyperuricemia. This article provides a comprehensive review of bioactive peptides with anti-hyperuricemia properties derived from animals, plants, and their products. We specifically outline the methods for preparing these peptides from food proteins and elucidate their efficacy and mechanisms in combating hyperuricemia, supported by in vitro and in vivo evidence. Uric acid-lowering peptides offer promising prospects due to their safer profile, enhanced efficacy, and improved bioavailability. Therefore, this review underscores significant advancements and contributions in identifying peptides capable of metabolizing purine and/or uric acid, thereby alleviating hyperuricemia. Moreover, it offers a theoretical foundation for the development of functional foods incorporating uric acid-lowering peptides.

A strategy to boost xanthine oxidase and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitory activities of peptides via molecular docking and module substitution. Food Chem 2024; 442:138401. [PMID: 38219570 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.138401] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2023] [Revised: 01/03/2024] [Accepted: 01/06/2024] [Indexed: 01/16/2024]
Abstract
Molecular docking and activity evaluation screened the dipeptide module GP with low xanthine oxidase (XOD) inhibitory activity and modules KE and KN with high activity, and identified them as low- and high-contribution modules, respectively. We hypothesized the substitution of low-contribution modules in peptides with high contributions would boost their XOD inhibitory activity. In the XOD inhibitory peptide GPAGPR, substitution of GP with both KE and KN led to enhanced affinity between the peptides and XOD. They also increased XOD inhibitory activity (26.4% and 10.3%) and decreased cellular uric acid concentrations (28.0% and 10.4%). RNA sequencing indicated that these improvements were attributable to the inhibition of uric acid biosynthesis. In addition, module substitution increased the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitory activity of GILRP and GAAGGAF by 84.8% and 76.5%. This study revealed that module substitution is a feasible strategy to boost peptide activity, and provided information for the optimization of hydrolysate preparation conditions.

Abstract
The development of food-derived antihyperuricemic substances is important for alleviating hyperuricemia (HUA) and associated inflammation. Here, novel peptides fromThunnus albacares (TAP) with strong antihyperuricemic activity were prepared. TAP was prepared by alkaline protease (molecular weight <1000 Da), with an IC50 value of xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity of 2.498 mg/mL, and 5 mg/mL TAP could reduce uric acid (UA) by 33.62% in human kidney-2 (HK-2) cells (P < 0.01). Mice were fed a high-purine diet and injected with potassium oxonate to induce HUA. Oral administration of TAP (600 mg/kg/d) reduced serum UA significantly by 42.22% and increased urine UA by 79.02% (P < 0.01) via regulating urate transporters GLUT9, organic anion transporter 1, and ATP-binding cassette subfamily G2. Meantime, TAP exhibited hepatoprotective and nephroprotective effects, according to histological analysis. Besides, HUA mice treated with TAP showed anti-inflammatory activity by decreasing the levels of toll-like receptor 4, nuclear factors-κB p65, NLRP3, ASC, and Caspase-1 in the kidneys (P < 0.01). According to serum non-targeted metabolomics, 91 differential metabolites between the MC and TAP groups were identified, and purine metabolism was considered to be the main pathway for TAP alleviating HUA. In a word, TAP exhibited strong antihyperuricemic activity both in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
In this study, walnut protein was hydrolyzed, separated by ultrafiltration, purified by RP-HPLC, identified by LC-MS/MS, and screened by molecular docking to finally obtain three novel antioxidant peptides HGEPGQQQR (1189.584 Da), VAPFPEVFGK (1089.586 Da) and HNVADPQR (949.473 Da). These three peptides exhibited excellent cellular antioxidant activity (CAA) with EC50 values of 0.0120 mg mL-1, 0.0068 mg mL-1, and 0.0069 mg mL-1, respectively, which were superior to that of the positive control GSH (EC50: 0.0122 mg mL-1). In the ethanol injury model, three antioxidant peptides enhanced the survival of cells treated with ethanol from 47.36% to 62.69%, 57.06% and 71.64%, respectively. Molecular docking results showed that the three antioxidant peptides could effectively bind to Keap1, CYP2E1 and TLR4 proteins. These results suggested that walnut-derived antioxidant peptides could be potential antioxidants and hepatoprotective agents for application in functional foods.

Abstract
Xanthine oxidase (XO), a rate-limiting enzyme in uric acid production, is the pivotal therapeutic target for gout and hyperuricemia. In this study, 57 peptides from α-lactalbumin and β-lactoglobulin were obtained via virtual enzymatic hydrolysis, and 10 XO inhibitory peptides were virtually screened using molecular docking. Then toxicity, allergenicity, solubility, and isoelectric point of the obtained 10 novel peptides were evaluated by in silico tools. The XO activity of these synthetic peptides was tested using an in vitro assay by high-performance liquid chromatography. Their inhibitory mechanism was further explored by molecular docking. The results showed that 4 peptides GL, PM, AL, and AM exhibited higher inhibitory activity, and their half maximal inhibitory concentration in vitro was 10.20 ± 0.89, 23.82 ± 0.94, 34.49 ± 0.89, and 40.45 ± 0.92 mM, respectively. The peptides fitted well with XO through hydrogen bond, hydrophobic interaction, and van der Waals forces, and amino acid residues Glu802, Leu873, Arg880, and Pro1076 played an important role in this process. Overall, this study indicated 4 novel peptides GL, PM, AL, and AM from whey protein exhibited XO inhibitory activity, and they might be useful and safe XO inhibitors for hyperuricemia prevention and treatment.

Abstract
Xanthine oxidase (XO) inhibitory peptides are safer than conventional pharmacological therapy in relieving hyperuricemia. However, traditional enzymatic hydrolysis, separation, and purification techniques for bio-active peptide preparation are time-consuming, inefficient, and labor-intensive. In this study, molecular docking and BLAST were used to virtually screen XO inhibitory peptides from whole protein sequences of Pacific white shrimp according to the bio-active peptides database, and the structure of peptides was optimized based on the structure-effective relationship. Seven new XO inhibitory peptides were virtual screened rapidly from Pacific white shrimp, and YNITGW (IC50 = 9.78 ± 0.13 mM) showed the strongest activity. The results of YNITGW optimization showed that the insertion of Trp residue in the middle position of peptides could effectively enhance the activity. This study revealed that screening and optimizing peptides by molecular docking were a novel and feasible method to obtain bio-active peptides.

Abstract
Hyperuricemia is a medical condition characterized by an elevated level of serum uric acid, closely associated with other metabolic disorders, and its global incidence rate is increasing. Increased synthesis or decreased excretion of uric acid can lead to hyperuricemia. Protein peptides from various food sources have demonstrated potential in treating hyperuricemia, including marine organisms, ovalbumin, milk, nuts, rice, legumes, mushrooms, and protein-rich processing by-products. Through in vitro experiments and the establishment of cell or animal models, it has been proven that these peptides exhibit anti-hyperuricemia biological activities by inhibiting xanthine oxidase activity, downregulating key enzymes in purine metabolism, regulating the expression level of uric acid transporters, and restoring the composition of the intestinal flora. Protein peptides derived from food offer advantages such as a wide range of sources, significant therapeutic benefits, and minimal adverse effects. However, they also face challenges in terms of commercialization. The findings of this review contribute to a better understanding of hyperuricemia and peptides with hyperuricemia-alleviating activity. Furthermore, they provide a theoretical reference for developing new functional foods suitable for individuals with hyperuricemia.

Abstract
Special diets or nutritional supplements are regularly given to treat children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The increased consumption of particular foods has been demonstrated in numerous trials to lessen autism-related symptoms and comorbidities. A case study on a boy with moderate autism who significantly improved after three years of following a healthy diet consisting of pumpkin and walnuts was examined in this review in connection to a few different neurophenotypes of ASD. We are able to suggest that a diet high in pumpkin and walnuts was useful in improving the clinical presentation of the ASD case evaluated by reducing oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, glutamate excitotoxicity, mitochondrial dysfunction, and altered gut microbiota, all of which are etiological variables. Using illustrated figures, a full description of the ways by which a diet high in pumpkin and nuts could assist the included case is offered.

Abstract
Food-derived peptides have good antioxidant activity and are highly safe for humans; consequently, there has been continuous growth in research on antioxidants, with potential applications in food, medicine, cosmetics, and other fields. Among food-derived peptides, walnut-derived peptides have attracted increasing attention as food-derived peptides rich in eight essential amino acids. This review summarizes the progress made in the development and identification of antioxidant peptides in walnut proteins. This article mainly describes the interaction between reactive oxygen species and cellular antioxidant products, modulation of enzyme content and activity, and regulation of the redox signaling pathways and analyzes the mechanisms of reduction in oxidative stress. Finally, the complex structure-activity relationships of walnut-derived peptides are analyzed based on their amino acid composition and secondary structure of the polypeptides. This review provides a theoretical basis for the production of walnut-derived antioxidant peptides and could help promote the development of the walnut industry.

Abstract
As human life expectancy increases, the incidence of neurodegenerative diseases in older adults has increased in parallel. Walnuts contain bioactive peptides with demonstrated neuroprotective effects, making them a valuable addition to the diet. We here present a comprehensive review of the various methods used to prepare, isolate, purify, and identify the neuroprotective peptides found in walnuts. We further summarise the different approaches currently used to evaluate the activity of these peptides in experimental settings, highlighting their potential to reduce oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and promote autophagy, as well as to regulate the gut microflora and balance the cholinergic system. Finally, we offer suggestions for future research concerning bioavailability and improving or masking the bitter taste and sensory properties of final products containing the identified walnut neuroprotective peptides to ensure successful adoption of these peptides as functional food ingredients for neurohealth promotion.

Abstract
Recently, plant protein as a necessary nutrient source for human beings, a common ingredient of traditional processed food, and an important element of new functional food has gained prominence due to the increasing demand for healthy food. Walnut protein (WP) is obtained from walnut kernels and walnut oil-pressing waste and has better nutritional, functional, and essential amino acids in comparison with other vegetable and grain proteins. WP can be conveniently obtained by various extraction techniques, including alkali-soluble acid precipitation, salting-out, and ultrasonic-assisted extraction, among others. The functional properties of WP can be modified for desired purposes by using some novel methods, including free radical oxidation, enzymatic modification, high hydrostatic pressure, etc. Moreover, walnut peptides play an important biological role both in vitro and in vivo. The main activities of the walnut peptides are antihypertensive, antioxidant, learning improvement, and anticancer, among others. Furthermore, WP could be applied in the development of functional foods or dietary supplements, such as delivery systems and food additives, among others. This review summarizes recent knowledge on the nutritional, functional, and bioactive peptide aspects of WP and possible future products, providing a theoretical reference for the utilization and development of oil crop waste.

Abstract
The development of food-derived Xanthine Oxidase (XO) inhibitors is critical to the treatment of hyperuricemia and oxidative stress-related disease. Few studies report on milk protein hydrolysates' XO inhibitory activity, with the mechanism of their interaction remaining elusive. Here, different commercial enzymes were used to hydrolyze α-lactalbumin and bovine colostrum casein. The two proteins hydrolyzed by alkaline protease exhibited the most potent XO inhibitory activity (bovine casein: IC50 = 0.13 mg mL-1; α-lactalbumin: IC50 = 0.28 mg mL-1). Eight potential XO inhibitory peptides including VYPFPGPI, GPVRGPFPIIV, VYPFPGPIPN, VYPFPGPIHN, QLKRFSFRSFIWR, LVYPFPGPIHN, AVFPSIVGR, and GFININSLR (IC50 of 4.67-8.02 mM) were purified and identified from alkaline protease hydrolysates by using gel filtration, LC-MS/MS and PeptideRanker. The most important role of inhibiting activity of peptides is linked to hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonding based on the results of molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation. The enzymatic hydrolysate of α-lactalbumin and bovine colostrum casein could be a competitive candidates for hyperuricemia-resisting functional food.

Abstract
Feather keratin is an underappreciated protein resource of high quality, with limited bioavailability, and it urgently requires eco-friendly methods to enhance its value. Here, we report on the preparation, purification, and identification of novel peptides with antioxidant and xanthine oxidase (XOD) inhibitory activities from fermented feather broth, using Bacillus licheniformis 8-4. Two peptides, namely, DLCRPCGPTPLA (DA-12) and ANSCNEPCVR (AR-10), displayed remarkable 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging abilities with half-maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC50) values of 0.048, 0.034, and 0.95, 0.84 mg/mL, respectively. These values exceed those of the previously reported feather keratin-derived antioxidant peptides. Another peptide, GNQQVHLQSQDM (GM-12), demonstrated XOD activity inhibition, with an IC50 value of 12.15 mg/mL, and it quenched the fluorescence of XOD. Furthermore, after simulating gastrointestinal digestion, DA-12, AR-10, and GM-12 retained their biological activities. Meanwhile, DA-12 and GM-12 showed an unexpected synergistic inhibition on XOD activity accompanied by fluorescence quenching. This study provides new insights into the potential applications of feather keratin, including functionalized feed with antioxidative and antigout (anti-hyperuricemia) activities.

Abstract
Hyperuricemia is linked to a variety of disorders that can have serious consequences for human health. Peptides that inhibit xanthine oxidase (XO) are expected to be a safe and effective functional ingredient for the treatment or relief of hyperuricemia. The goal of this study was to discover whether papain small yellow croaker hydrolysates (SYCHs) have potent xanthine oxidase inhibitory (XOI) activity. The results showed that compared to the XOI activity of SYCHs (IC50 = 33.40 ± 0.26 mg/mL), peptides with a molecular weight (MW) of less than 3 kDa (UF-3) after ultrafiltration (UF) had stronger XOI activity, which was reduced to IC50 = 25.87 ± 0.16 mg/mL (p < 0.05). Two peptides were identified from UF-3 using nano-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. These two peptides were chemically synthesized and tested for XOI activity in vitro. Trp-Asp-Asp-Met-Glu-Lys-Ile-Trp (WDDMEKIW) (p < 0.05) had the stronger XOI activity (IC50 = 3.16 ± 0.03 mM). The XOI activity IC50 of the other peptide, Ala-Pro-Pro-Glu-Arg-Lys-Tyr-Ser-Val-Trp (APPERKYSVW), was 5.86 ± 0.02 mM. According to amino acid sequence results, the peptides contained at least 50% hydrophobic amino acids, which might be responsible for reducing xanthine oxidase (XO) catalytic activity. Furthermore, the inhibition of the peptides (WDDMEKIW and APPERKYSVW) against XO may depend on their binding to the XO active site. According to molecular docking, certain peptides made from small yellow croaker proteins were able to bind to the XO active site through hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions. The results of this work illuminate SYCHs as a promising functional candidate for the prevention of hyperuricemia.

Abstract
This study aimed to isolate bioactive peptides with elastase inhibitory activity from walnut meal via ultrasonic enzymatic hydrolysis. The optimal hydrolysis conditions of walnut meal protein hydrolysates (WMPHs) were obtained by response surface methodology (RSM), while a molecular weight of<3 kDa fraction was analyzed by LC-MS/MS, and 556 peptides were identified. PyRx virtual screening and Autodock Vina molecular docking revealed that the pentapeptide Phe-Phe-Val-Pro-Phe (FFVPF) could interact with elastase primarily through hydrophobic interactions, hydrogen bonds, and π-sulfur bonds, with a binding energy of -5.22 kcal/mol. The verification results of inhibitory activity showed that FFVPF had better elastase inhibitory activity, with IC50 values of 0.469 ± 0.01 mg/mL. Furthermore, FFVPF exhibited specific stability in the gastric environment. These findings suggest that the pentapeptide FFVPF from defatted walnut meal could serve as a potential source of elastase inhibitors in the food, medical, and cosmetics industries.

Abstract
Walnut protein isolate was hydrolyzed using alcalase® to obtain angiotensin-I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory (ACEI) peptides. The components with high ACEI activity were successfully purified from walnut protein isolate hydrolysates (WPIH) by ultrafiltration and G-25 gel chromatography. The 1520 peptides were identified by high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). Then the screening model of ACEI peptides was established by in silico approach. It was found that four ACEI active peptides (PPKP, YPQY, YLPP, and PKPP) were obtained with IC50 values ranging from 506 to 89 μmol/L, among which PPKP had the highest ACEI activity (IC50 = 89 ± 1 μmol/L). The four peptides mentioned above were novel, non-toxic, and resistant to gastrointestinal digestion. The molecular docking studies showed that the ACEI effect of ACEI peptide was mainly due to the interaction with residues of Gln281 and His353 in the ACE active pockets. In vivo availability of ACEI peptides showed that the probability of PPKP binding to ACE was 37.9% in the human body. Our studies suggest that the ACEI peptides derived from the WPIH can be considered functional foods that can prevent hypertension. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Hypertension is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, the leading cause of death worldwide. This study used a cost-effective method to isolate and identify potential ACEI peptides from the walnut meal. Since the walnut meal is often discarded in the processing of walnut products and thus pollutes the environment, the preparation of walnut meal into ACEI peptides can reduce the impact of hypertension on people and reduce environmental pollution. The experimental results show that walnut ACEI peptides are a safe and healthy nutritional product.

Abstract
This review explores reutilization opportunities of protein-rich bio-waste derived from the major tree nuts (almonds, walnuts, and cashew nuts) oil processing industries through biorefinery strategies. The mechanically pressed out oil cakes of these nuts have high protein (45-55%), carbohydrate (30-35%), and fiber that could be utilized to produce bioactive peptides, biofuels, and dietary fiber, respectively; all of which can fetch substantially greater value than its current utilization as a cattle feed. Specific attention has been given to the production, characterization, and application of nut-based de-oiled cake hydrolysates for therapeutic benefits including antioxidant, antihypertensive and neuroprotective properties. The often-neglected safety/toxicological evaluation of the hydrolysates/peptide sequences has also been described. Based on the available data, it is concluded that enzymatic hydrolysis is a preferred method than microbial fermentation for the value addition of de-oiled tree nut cakes. Further, critical insights on the existing literature as well as potential research ideas have also been proposed.

Abstract
The incidence of hyperuricemia has increased globally due to changes in dietary habits. The sacha inchi oil press-cake is generally discarded, resulting in the waste of resources and adverse environmental impact. For the purpose of developing sacha inchi oil press-cake and identifying natural components with anti-hyperuricemic activities, we systemically investigated the underlying mechanisms of sacha inchi oil press-cake protein hydrolysates (SISH) in the hyperuricemic rat model. SISH was obtained from sacha inchi oil press-cake proteins after trypsin treatment, and 24 peptides with small molecular weight (<1000 Da) were identified. The results of animal experiments showed that SISH significantly decreased the serum uric acid (UA) level by inhibiting the xanthine oxidase (XOD) activity and regulating the gene expression related to UA production and catabolism in hyperuricemia rats, such as Xdh and Hsh. In addition, SISH attenuated the renal damage and reduced the gene expression related to inflammation (Tlr4, Map3k8, Pik3cg, Pik3ap1, Ikbke, and Nlrp3), especially Tlr4, which has been considered a receptor of UA. Notably, SISH reversed high purine-induced gut microbiota dysbiosis, particularly by enhancing the relative abundance of butyric acid-producing bacteria (unidentified_Ruminococcaceae, Oscillibacter, Ruminiclostridium, Intestinimonas). This research provided new insights into the treatment of hyperuricemia.

[PMID: 35985156 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2022.106097] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2022] [Revised: 08/01/2022] [Accepted: 08/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
As the development of hyperuricemia (HUA) and gout continues to accelerate worldwide, there is increasing interest in the use of xanthine oxidase (XO) inhibitors as therapeutic agents for the management of HUA and gout. In the present study, XO inhibitory peptides were identified from whey protein isolate (WPI) hydrolysates, and the underlying inhibitory mechanism and in vivo activities was investigated. WPI hydrolysates were isolated and purified, and two peptides (ALPM and LWM) with lower binding energy were screened by molecular docking. The result showed that these two peptides interacted with residues around the active site of XO through hydrogen bond and hydrophobic interaction. The IC50 values of ALPM and LWM were 7.23 ± 0.22 and 5.01 ± 0.31 mM, respectively. According to the Lineweaver-Burk curve, the inhibition types of ALPM and LWM were non-competitive inhibition. Circular dichroism (CD) spectra indicated ALPM and LWM could change the secondary structure of XO. Molecular dynamics simulations revealed that XO-peptide complexes were more stable and compact than XO. Moreover, animal studies have shown that ALPM and LWM have anti-hyperuricemia effects in vivo. This study suggested that ALPM and LWM can be considered as natural XO inhibitors for the treatment of HUA.

Abstract
Walnut-origin by-products obtained from walnut oil extraction industry are high in proteins with various physiological functions and pharmacological properties and an extensive potential for usage in producing bioactive peptides. This review presents the current research status of bioactive peptides derived from walnut by-products, including preparation, separation, purification, identification, bioactivities, and bioavailability. A plethora of walnut peptides with multiple biological activities, including antioxidative, antihypertensive, neuroprotective, antidiabetic, anticancer, and antihyperuricemia activities, were obtained from walnut-origin by-products by enzymatic hydrolysis, fermentation, and synthesis. Different bioactive peptides show various structural characteristics and amino acid composition due to their diverse mechanism of action. Furthermore, walnut protein and its hydrolysate present a high bioavailability in human gastrointestinal digestive system. Improving the bioavailability of walnut peptides is needful in the development of walnut industry. However, future research still needs to exploit energy conservation, high efficiency, environmentally friendly and low-cost production method of walnut bioactive peptide. The molecular mechanisms of different bioactive walnut peptides still need to be explored at the cell and gene levels. Additionally, the digestion, absorption, and metabolism processes of walnut peptides are also the focus of future research.

Abstract
The oligopeptides derived from Auxis thazard protein (ATO) are a class of small peptides with molecular weight <1 kDa and good bioactivity. This paper aimed to explore the hypouricemic, hepatoprotective, and nephroprotective effects of ATO and its potential mechanisms in hyperuricemia in mice induced by potassium oxonate. The results showed that ATO significantly reduced serum UA, serum creatinine levels, inhibited XOD and ADA activities in the liver (p < 0.05), and accelerated UA excretion by downregulating the gene expression of renal mURAT1 and mGLUT9 and upregulating the gene expression of mABCG2 and mOAT1. ATO could also reduce the levels of liver MDA, increase the activities of SOD and CAT, and reduce the levels of IL-1β, MCP-1 and TNF-α. Histological analysis also showed that ATO possessed hepatoprotective and nephroprotective activities in hyperuricemic mice. Thus, ATO could reduce the serum UA level in hyperuricemic mice by decreasing UA production and promoting UA excretion from the kidney, suggesting that ATO could be developed as a dietary supplement for hyperuricemia treatment.

Rational design and synthesis of modified natural peptides from Boana pulchella (anura) as acetylcholinesterase inhibitors and antioxidants. Amino Acids 2021; 54:181-192.

Abstract
The use of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors, antioxidants or multitarget compounds are among the main strategies against Alzheimer's disease (AD). Between AChE inhibitors, those targeting the peripheral anionic site (PAS) are of special interest. Here, we describe the rational design and synthesis of peptide analogs of a natural PAS-targeting sequence that we recently discovered, aiming at increasing its activity against AChE. We also tested their radical scavenging and metal chelating properties. Our design strategy was based on the position-specific, computer-aided insertion of aromatic residues. The analog named as W3 showed a 30-fold higher inhibitory activity than the original sequence and an improved antioxidant activity. W3 is the most potent modified natural peptide against Electrophorus electricus AChE ever reported with an IC50 of 10.42 μM (± 1.02). In addition, it showed a radical scavenging activity of 47.00% ± 3.11 at 50 μM and 93.47% ± 1.53 at 400 μM. Since peptides are receiving increasing interest as drugs, we propose the W3 analog as an attractive sequence for the development of new peptide-based multitarget drugs for AD. Besides, this work sheds light on the importance of the aromatic residues in the modulation of AChE activity and their effect on the radical scavenging activity of a peptide.

Abstract
The objective of the present study was to investigate the xanthine oxidase (XO) inhibitory effects of peptides purified and identified from round scad (Decapterus maruadsi) hydrolysates (RSHs). In this study, RSHs were obtained by using three proteases (neutrase, protamex and alcalase). Among them, the RSHs of 6-h hydrolysis by neutrase displayed the strongest XO inhibitory activity and had an abundance of small peptides (<500 Da). Four novel peptides were purified by immobilized metal affinity chromatography and identified by nano-high-performance liquid chromatography mass/mass spectrometry. Their amino acid sequences were KGFP (447.53 Da), FPSV (448.51 Da), FPFP (506.59 Da) and WPDGR (629.66 Da), respectively. Then the peptides were synthesized to evaluate their XO inhibitory activity. The results indicated that the peptides of both FPSV (5 mM) and FPFP (5 mM) exhibited higher XO inhibitory activity (22.61 ± 1.81% and 20.09 ± 2.41% respectively). Fluorescence spectra assay demonstrated that the fluorescence quenching mechanism of XO by these inhibitors (FPSV and FPFP) was a static quenching procedure. The study of inhibition kinetics suggested that the inhibition of both FPSV and FPFP was reversible, and the type of their inhibition was a mixed one. Molecular docking revealed the importance of π-π stacking between Phe residue (contained in peptides) and Phe914 (contained in the XO) in the XO inhibitory activity of the peptides.

Abstract
Bioactive peptides (BPs) released by proteases from different food protein sources are often served as antioxidants in food applications. This study aims to investigate 11 BPs derived from fish and egg white as potential natural antioxidants by antioxidant activity assays. The kinetic activity of the BPs against xanthine oxidase (XOD) and tyrosinase was also analyzed. The antioxidative capacity of the BPs indicated that VWWW (VW4, mackerel meat), followed by IRW (IW3, egg white) and VKAGFAWTANQQLS (VS14, tuna backbone protein), possessed the highest antioxidant activity in 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH), 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS) and reducing power (RP) assays. Both the free-radical scavenging score predicted from the AnOxPePred algorithm and the DPPH, ABTS and RP results indicated that VW4 was the best antioxidant. Furthermore, the XOD and tyrosinase inhibition by three selected peptides exhibited competitive patterns of effective inhibition. The half maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC50) of the peptides for XOD inhibition were 5.310, 3.935, and 1.804 mM for VW4, IW3, and VS14, respectively, and they could serve as competitive natural XOD inhibitors. The IC50 of the peptides for tyrosinase inhibition were 1.254, 2.895, and 0.595 mM for VW4, IW3, and VS14, respectively. Overall, VW4, IW3, and VS14 are potential antioxidants and natural XOD inhibitors for preventing milk-fat oxidation, and anti-browning sources for inhibiting food-derived tyrosinase oxidation.

Abstract
Hyperuricemia is related to plenty of diseases, seriously damaging human health. Current clinical drugs used to treat hyperuricemia have many adverse effects. In this study, kidney bean hydrolysate (KBH) was found to exert high xanthine oxidase inhibitory (XOI) activity. Compared to KBH (50.31 ± 2.73%), XOI activities of three fractions (Mw <5 kDa, Mw <3 kDa, Mw < 1 kDa) by ultrafiltration were higher and increased to 58.58 ± 3.57%, 59.34 ± 1.78%, and 55.05 ± 5.00%, respectively (P < 0.05). A total of 69 peptides were identified by HPLC-ESI-MS/MS and analyzed binding affinities with XO with the help of molecular docking. AVDSLVPIGR, DWYDIK, LDNLLR, ISPIPVLK, ISSLEMTR showed well binding affinities with XO and DWYDIK presented the highest XOI activity (68.63 ± 5.07%) among five synthetic peptides (P < 0.05). Additionally, visual analysis results indicated that DWYDIK was pushed into the hydrophobic channel and formed hydrogen bonds with pivotal amino acids of xanthine oxidase. Overall, KBH could be a promising candidate as anti- hyperuricemia functional food. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: This research initially revealed that kidney bean peptides could significantly inhibit the activity of xanthine oxidase, indicating kidney bean peptides could be a treatment for hyperuricemia. Kidney bean peptides may have commercial potentials as a safer alternative with few side effects to drugs.

Abstract
This study aimed to isolate and investigate the potential of the peptide alanine-cysteine-glutamic acid-cysteine-aspartic acid (ACECD), a novel xanthine oxidase inhibitory (XODI) peptide derived from Skipjack tuna hydrolysate (HS). Ultrafiltration membranes were used to obtain HS-based peptides as successive ultrafiltration fractions (of decreasing molecular weight) of UF-1, UF-2, UF-3, and UF-4. Their antioxidant and xanthine oxidase (XOD) inhibitory activities were determined and further characterized by affinity-ultrafiltration coupled with HPLC-MALDI-TOF/TOF-MS and in silico techniques. The results showed that peptides with a molecular weight (MW) cutoff of 600-1000 Da (UF-2) exhibited the highest antioxidant and XODI activities. A novel XODI peptide (ACECD) was identified with an IC50 value of 13.40 mmol/L, which decreased by 21.24% and 51.40% compared to those of UF-2 and HS, respectively. Molecular docking indicated that ACECD inserted into the active center of Mo atoms in XOD, which led to competitive attachment with XOD and caused inhibition. The study findings indicated that the ACECD peptide could be useful as a safe XODI substance to alleviate hyperuricemia.

Abstract
This study is aimed to comparatively investigate the phytochemical profiles, focusing on the nutritional and phytochemical properties of common garlic (Allium sativum L.; CG) and elephant garlic (EG) (Allium ampeloprasum var. holmense) collected from the Val di Chiana area (Tuscany, Italy). The results showed a lower amount of fibers, demonstrating a higher digestibility of the bulb, and sulfur-containing compounds in EG rather than in CG. Untargeted metabolomic profiling followed by supervised and unsupervised statistics allowed understanding the differences in phytochemical composition among the two bulbs, both as raw bulbs, processed following the in vitro gastrointestinal digestion process. Typical sulfur-containing compounds, such as alliin and N-gamma-glutamyl-S-allyl cysteine, could notably be detected in lower amounts in EG. EG maintains a distinct phytochemical signature during in vitro gastrointestinal digestion. Our findings support the distinct sensorial attributes of the bulbs.

Characterization and analysis of antioxidant activity of walnut-derived pentapeptide PW5 via nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Food Chem 2020; 339:128047. [PMID: 32949916 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2020.128047] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2020] [Revised: 08/19/2020] [Accepted: 09/04/2020] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
The antioxidative activity of natural products has commonly been studied by free radical scavenging methods. However, the mechanisms by which antioxidation is explored by free radical scavenging methods remain largely unknown. This study analyzed the composition of walnut-derived pentapeptides PW5 with potential biological activity and its oxidation reaction products in 2,2'-Azinobis-(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonate) (ABTS) test by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The amino acid sequence of PW5 peptide successfully characterized as Proline-Proline-Lysine-Asparagine-Tryptophan exhibited significant antioxidant activity with lower IC50 value (0.2210 ± 0.0032 mM) compared to glutathione (GSH, 0.2567 ± 0.0023 mM, p < 0.001). Furthermore, we found that the tryptophan residue was the only residue in PW5 with obvious alteration after treatment with ABTS free radicals, which was linked to its potential antioxidant properties. These findings revealed how NMR-characterized structures and oxidation reaction products may be used to explore the antioxidative mechanisms of food-derived peptides as well as other natural products.

Abstract
Walnut residue is a kind of high-quality plant protein resource. The bioactive peptide prepared from walnut residue has excellent health care functions such as antioxidation and antihypertensive activity, but at present, walnut residue is often regarded as waste or low value feed, fertilizer and other materials. The uneconomical use of walnut residue has hindered the development of the walnut industry to some extent. Effective utilization of walnut residue protein to develop bioactive peptides and other products is of great significance to realize the comprehensive utilization of walnut residue, improve the added value of by-products, and change the current low utilization rate of walnut residue. In this paper, the preparation, purification and structure identification of walnut protein bioactive peptides are reviewed, and different functional walnut active peptides (WBPs) are introduced. The potential effects of these bioactivities on human health and their different uses in food, medicine and other industries are discussed. The purpose is to provide reference information for the effective utilization of walnut residue resources and the development of walnut industry.

Abstract
SCOPE Decreasing β-amyloid (Aβ) accumulation is of significance in finding therapeutic candidates for cognitive impairments in Alzheimer's disease (AD). The aim of this study is to investigate the potency of the active components of walnut protein in decreasing Aβ aggregation and ameliorating cognitive impairments. METHODS AND RESULTS Cell model of intracellular Aβ42 aggregation is used to explore the active ingredients in walnut protein hydrolysate (WPH). A bioactive peptide (Pro-Pro-Lys-Asn-Trp, PW5) with great anti-Aβ42 aggregation activity identified from the WPH is synthesized for in vitro and in vivo experiments. Using classic APP/PS1 mouse model, it is validated that PW5 exerts its effects on cognitive improvement through reducing Aβ plaques accumulation. Moreover, metabolomic analysis reveals that serum norepinephrine (NE) and isovalerate levels are significantly increased in response to PW5 intervention, with decreased serum levels of acetylcholine (AChe) and valerate, compared with the vehicle-treated APP/PS1 mice. PW5 feeding also improves gut dysbiosis in APP/PS1 transgenic mice by increasing the relative abundance of Firmicutes and decreasing Proteobacteria and Verrucomicrobia as displayed by 16s rRNA analyses. CONCLUSIONS These promising results support the utilization of peptide PW5 as an active ingredient in functional foods or potential drug candidate for the prevention and/or treatment of AD.
