In silico digestion with gastrointestinal enzyme activities was
subsequently carried out on the eight casein-derived peptides which
inhibited DPP-IV. Of the eight DPP-IV inhibitory peptides studied
herein, two (Asn-Pro and Ile-Pro) could not theoretically be further
cleaved by pepsin, trypsin and chymotrypsin. Six (Tyr-Pro, Leu-Pro,
Trp-Ile-Gln-Pro, Val- Leu-Gly-Pro, Phe-Leu-Gln-Pro and Val-Arg-Gly-Pro)
were theoretically cleaved. Apart from Gly-Pro, which was predicted to
be released by chymotryptic action on Val-Leu-Gly-Pro and the tryptic
action of Val-Arg-Gly-Pro, all the other breakdown peptides (Val-Arg,
Ile-Gln-Pro and Gln-Pro) were DPP-IV inhibitors. However, these were not
potent DPP-IV inhibitors as their IC50 values ranged from
826.1 ± 30.1 to > 4000 μM (Table 1). Trp and Leu, which were
predicted to be released from four peptides (Leu-Pro, Trp-Ile-Gln-Pro,
Val-Leu-Gly-Pro and Phe-Leu-Gln-Pro), have previously been identified as
weak DPP-IV inhibitors with IC50 values of 4280 ± 48 and 3419 ± 56 μM, respectively. |
