Biological/Functional activity & target protein
DPP IV-inhibitory activity

(1) The peptide LPQNIPPL showed potent Dipeptidyl Peptidase IV (EC 3.4.14.5) inhibitory activity with the IC50 value of 46 μM. However, the inhibitory activity of LPQNIPPL was approximately 10-fold lower than that of diprotin A (IPI), a well-known DPP-IV inhibitory peptide and approximately 100-fold lower than those of commercial drugs [1].
(2) Glucose tolerance tests were performed in rats orally administered synthesized LPQNIPPL (30 mg 100 g-1 rat weight) with a cross-over experimental design. The post-prandial area under the blood glucose curve was significantly reduced (P < 0.02) in the LPQNIPPL-administered group compared with that in the placebo-treated group.

Peptide stability
Literature report:

Literature reported the gastrointestinal digestion of β-casein and showed that pepsin cleaved β-CN 70-71 and peptidases on Caco-2 cells cleaved β-CN 72-73 [2]. To compare the DPP-IV-inhibitory activity of LPQNIPPL and its derivatives, we synthesized PQNIPPL (β-CN f71-77) and LPQ (β-CN f70-72), cleaved peptides of LPQNIPPL, and evaluated their inhibitory activity. The IC50 value of LPQ was sustained (82 μM), whereas that of PQNIPPL, which had lost the X-Pro structure at its N-terminus, was reduced to a considerable extent (1500 μM).
