DPP-IV Inhibitory Peptide against In Vitro Gastrointestinal Digestion Derived from Goat's Milk Protein and Its Activity Enhancement via Amino Acid Substitution.

Goat milk protein can release a variety of bioactive peptides after digestion, while most of them are digested into free amino acids or dipeptides via the GI tract. We investigated the peptide profiles of goat milk protein following in vitro gastrointestinal digestion using LC-MS/MS and identified 683 bioactive peptides, including 105 DPP-IV inhibitory peptides. Among these peptides, ILDKVGINY (IL), derived from β-lactoglobulin, was found to be high in content and resistance to digestion.

Identification of Immune-Active Peptides in Casein Hydrolysates and Its Transport Mechanism on a Caco-2 Monolayer.

In this study, we investigated the transport mechanism of immune-active peptide fragments isolated from casein gastrointestinal hydrolysates via a Caco-2 monolayer. The casein gastrointestinal hydrolysates could stimulate B-lymphocyte proliferation and reduce the TNF-α level. Then, we identified the bioactive peptide fragments derived from casein gastrointestinal hydrolysis using LC-MS/MS.

Bioactive peptide release and the absorption tracking of casein in the gastrointestinal digestion of rats.

Bovine casein is considered as an important source of many bioactive peptides (BAPs), which can also be produced via in vitro simulated gastrointestinal hydrolysis. To perform their physiological functions, some active peptides need to pass through the intestinal epithelial barrier and keep their structural integrity after oral administration. Owing to the complexity of in vivo digestion and absorption, there have been few studies in this area.

Synthesis and antibacterial activity of substituted oxotriazolylphenyl oxazolidinones.

A series of 3-(4'-(2''-alkyl-3''-oxy-1'',2'',4''-triazolyl)-phenyl)-5-substituted oxazolidinones was designed and synthesized for in vitro antibacterial activity testing against fourteen Gram-negative and six Gram-positive standard organisms. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined by agar dilution at concentrations of 0.10, 0.

Synthesis and in vitro evaluation of substituted phenyl-piperazinyl-phenyl oxazolidinones against Gram-positive bacteria.

With the incidence of linezolid-resistant Enterococcus faecalis, E. faecium and Staphylococcus aureus, modification of linezolid at the 5- and/or 3-positions led to the development of a series of 3-(methoxyl-phenyl)-piperazinyl-phenyl oxazolidinone analogues. These compounds were tested in vitro against six gram-positive standard organisms (S.
