The visceral mass of the gastropod, Harpa ventricosa was hydrolysed using trypsin, alcalase and pepsin for 12 h to produce protein hydrolysates. Subsequently, the active hydrolysate was observed in the 3rd hour of tryptic hydrolysate (29.17 ± 0.62 and 34.85 ± 0.55 %) using human red blood cell (HRBC) membrane stabilization and albumin denaturation (AD) assays. The active hydrolysate was fractionated by membrane filtration unit, where <10-kDa fraction revealed better anti-inflammatory activity with IC value 6.27 ± 0.05 and 5.38 ± 0.02 mg/ml for HRBC and AD assays, respectively. Additionally, the active fraction contains essential and non-essential (aspartic acid, arginine, glutamic acid and leucine) amino acids and, sequentially, the active fraction was further purified using consecutive chromatography, in which fraction C-II exhibited strong anti-inflammatory activity (HRBC 56.02 ± 0.52 and AD 50.71 ± 1.10 % assays). The non-toxic, low molecular weight (690.2 Da) hexapeptide (Ala-Lys-Gly-Thr-Trp-Lys) suppressed the nitric oxide (NO) and pro-cytokine production in a dose-dependent manner on THP-1 cell lines.
用胰蛋白酶、碱性蛋白酶和胃蛋白酶对腹足纲动物竖琴螺的内脏团进行12小时水解,以产生蛋白水解物。随后,使用人红细胞(HRBC)膜稳定化和白蛋白变性(AD)试验,在胰蛋白酶水解物的第3小时观察到活性水解物(分别为29.17±0.62%和34.85±0.55%)。活性水解物通过膜过滤装置进行分级分离,其中分子量小于10 kDa的级分显示出更好的抗炎活性,HRBC试验和AD试验的IC值分别为6.27±0.05和5.38±0.02 mg/ml。此外,活性级分含有必需氨基酸和非必需氨基酸(天冬氨酸、精氨酸、谷氨酸和亮氨酸),随后,活性级分通过连续色谱法进一步纯化,其中级分C-II表现出较强的抗炎活性(HRBC试验为56.02±0.52%,AD试验为50.71±1.10%)。无毒、低分子量(690.2 Da)的六肽(Ala-Lys-Gly-Thr-Trp-Lys)对THP-1细胞系中一氧化氮(NO)和前细胞因子的产生具有剂量依赖性抑制作用。
