In current study, novel antioxidant and ACE inhibitory peptides were screened from Arthrospira platensis protein hydrolysates (APH) generated by six different proteases, respectively. The purification steps including ultrafiltration membrane and chromatography were guided by ABTS radical scavenging activity (ARSA), hydroxyl radical scavenging activity (HRSA), ferrous ion chelation activity (FICA) and ACE inhibitory activity. A novel antioxidant peptide VTAGLVGGGAGK, which exhibited highest ARSA, HRSA and FICA with EC value of 1.08 mg/mL 1.35 mg/mL and 1.24 mg/mL, respectively, was identified from alcalase-APH. Meanwhile, a novel ACE inhibitory peptide PTGNPLSP with the highest ACE inhibitory activity (IC = 1.54 mg/mL) was identified from trypsin-APH. Both VTAGLVGGGAGK and PTGNPLSP had strong stability under thermal processing (25-100 °C) and diverse pH conditions (pH 3-11). In addition, the PTGNPLSP was more stable than VTAGLVGGGAGK during in vitro gastrointestinal digestion. Our findings will provide new knowledge for the development of novel natural antioxidants and ACE inhibitors as well as the high-value utilization of Arthrospira platensis protein.

As the main inhibitory neurotransmission system, the GABAergic system poses an interesting yet underutilized target for molecular brain imaging. While PET imaging of postsynaptic GABAergic neurons has been accomplished using radiolabeled benzodiazepines targeting the GABA receptor, the development of presynaptic radioligands targeting GABA transporter 1 (GAT1) has been unsuccessful thus far. Therefore, we developed a novel GAT1-addressing radioligand and investigated its applicability as a PET tracer in rodents.

Prcis: Cognitive impairment in multiple domains was observed in primary open angle glaucoma patients as compared to age and gender matched healthy controls.
Objective: Evaluation of cognitive impairment in individuals with Primary Open Angle Glaucoma (POAG).
Methods: In this case-control study, individuals with POAG (cases, n=70) were compared with age- and sex-matched healthy individuals (controls, n=70) using detailed ophthalmological evaluation, cognitive assessment and serum cortisol level.

Background: Subcritical water (SW) is regarded as an effective conversion technology for lignocellulosic biomass. The effect of SW on ginseng are limited to evaluate the ginsenoside composition of red ginseng, and there is little information on the effects of SW on fresh ginseng.
Methods: The general characteristics of ginseng extracts (GE) prepared with SW were evaluated in terms of brix, reducing sugar and residual solid content, and compositions of GE was estimated using chromatography.

Three new pyridine derivatives, irpelactedines A-C (1-3), and a new furan derivative, irpelactedine D (5), along with two structurally related known compounds, irpexidine A (4) and 5-carboxy-2-furanpropanoic acid (6), were isolated from the medicinal fungus Irpex lacteus SY1002. Their structures were elucidated through NMR and mass spectral analyses, combined with density functional theory calculations of ECD data. Evaluation of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity revealed that compounds 1 and 3 displayed moderate inhibition, with IC50 values of 31.

This study identified the amino acid sequences of peptides generated from the enzymatic hydrolysis of goat milk proteins from two different sources and annotated their functional activities. Peptidomics and molecular docking approaches were used to investigate the antioxidant and ACE inhibitory properties of the unique peptides, revealing the molecular mechanisms underlying their bioactivity. In vitro experiments showed that the IC50 values for ACE inhibition of the four peptides (LSMTDTR, QEALELIR, NIPVGILR, and QAQNVQHY) were 2.
