Abstract:
:Among the small peptides 2-31, (H)Gly-Gly-Phe-Leu(OMe) (30) reduced prostaglandin production of COX-2 with an IC50 of 60 nM relative to 6000 nM for COX-1. The 5 mg kg(-1) dose of compound 30 rescued albino mice by 80% from capsaicin-induced paw licking and recovered it by 60% from carrageenan-induced inflammation. The mode of action of compound 30 for targeting COX-2, iNOS, and VGSC was investigated by using substance P, l-arginine, and veratrine, respectively, as biomarkers. The interactions of 30 with COX-2 were supported by isothermal calorimetry experiments showing a Ka of 6.10 ± 1.10 × 10(4) M(-1) and ΔG of -100.3 kJ mol(-1) in comparison to a Ka 0.41 × 10(3) ± 0.09 M(-1) and ΔG of -19.2 ± 0.06 kJ mol(-1) for COX-1. Moreover, compound 30 did not show toxicity up to a 2000 mg kg(-1) dose. Hence, we suggest peptide 30 as a highly potent and promising candidate for further development into an anti-inflammatory drug.
