Sialorrhea is a prominent symptom of chronic neurological disorders like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, motor neuron disease, cerebral palsy, and stroke. Synaptosome-Associated Protein-25 (SNAP-25) plays a key role in triggering involuntary saliva secretion. This study aimed to identify SNAP-25-targeting bovine milk-derived peptides to mitigate sialorrhea, using computational and quantum atomistic simulation approach. Among 8559 bovine milk-derived peptides, 8499 were non-toxic, 7749 non-allergenic, 911 with blood-brain barrier crossing potential, and 175 with cell-penetrating capabilities. Using HAPPENN program, 20 non-hemolytic peptides were screened, while PeptideRanker predicted two physiologically active peptides. Protein-peptide docking followed by de novo structural modeling showed that CMPTFQFFK has a stronger inhibitory affinity (- 7.45 kcal/mol) for SNAP-25 than botulinum toxin. Additionally, dynamic simulations, free energy and quantum chemical studies confirmed the stability of CMPTFQFFK's with SNAP-25. Our study recommends CMPTFQFFK as a potential inhibitor of SNAP-25 for sialorrhea treatment, with further in vitro testing needed to confirm efficacy.
流涎是肌萎缩侧索硬化症、帕金森病、运动神经元病、脑瘫和中风等慢性神经疾病的一个突出症状。突触体相关蛋白25(SNAP - 25)在引发非自愿唾液分泌中起关键作用。本研究旨在使用计算和量子原子模拟方法,鉴定靶向SNAP - 25的牛乳衍生肽以减轻流涎。在8559种牛乳衍生肽中,8499种无毒,7749种无致敏性,911种具有穿越血脑屏障的潜力,175种具有细胞穿透能力。使用HAPPENN程序筛选出20种非溶血型肽,而PeptideRanker预测出两种具有生理活性的肽。蛋白质 - 肽对接及从头结构建模表明,CMPTFQFFK对SNAP - 25的抑制亲和力(-7.45千卡/摩尔)比肉毒杆菌毒素更强。此外,动态模拟、自由能和量子化学研究证实了CMPTFQFFK与SNAP - 25结合的稳定性。我们的研究推荐CMPTFQFFK作为治疗流涎的SNAP - 25潜在抑制剂,还需要进一步的体外测试来确认其疗效。
