Stichopus horrensflesh was explored as a potential source for generating peptides with angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory capacity using 6 proteases, namely alcalase, flavourzyme, trypsin, papain, bromelain, and protamex. Degree of hydrolysis (DH) and peptide profiling (SDS-PAGE) ofStichopus horrenshydrolysates (SHHs) was also assessed. Alcalase hydrolysate showed the highest DH value (39.8%) followed by flavourzyme hydrolysate (32.7%). Overall, alcalase hydrolysate exhibited the highest ACE inhibitory activity (IC50value of 0.41 mg/mL) followed by flavourzyme hydrolysate (IC50value of 2.24 mg/mL), trypsin hydrolysate (IC50value of 2.28 mg/mL), papain hydrolysate (IC50value of 2.48 mg/mL), bromelain hydrolysate (IC50value of 4.21 mg/mL), and protamex hydrolysate (IC50value of 6.38 mg/mL). The SDS-PAGE results showed that alcalase hydrolysate represented a unique pattern compared to others, which yielded potent ACE inhibitory peptides with molecular weight distribution lower than 20 kDa. The evaluation of the relationship between DH and IC50values of alcalase and flavourzyme hydrolysates revealed that the trend between those parameters was related to the type of the protease used. We concluded that the tested SHHs would be used as a potential source of functional ACE inhibitory peptides for physiological benefits.

In order to rapidly and efficiently excavate antihypertensive ingredients in Todarodes pacificus, its myosin heavy chain was hydrolyzed in silico and the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptides were predicted using integrated bioinformatics tools. The results showed the degree of hydrolysis (DH) theoretically achieved 56.8% when digested with papain, ficin, and prolyl endopeptidase (PREP), producing 126 ACE inhibitory peptides. By predicting the toxicity, allergenicity, gastrointestinal stability, and intestinal epithelial permeability, 30 peptides were finally screened, of which 21 had been reported and 9 were new. Moreover, the newly discovered peptides were synthesized to evaluate their in vitro ACE inhibition, showing Ile-Ile-Tyr and Asn-Pro-Pro-Lys had strong effects with a pIC50 of 4.58 and 4.41, respectively. Further, their interaction mechanisms and bonding configurations with ACE were explored by molecular simulation. The preferred conformation of Ile-Ile-Tyr and Asn-Pro-Pro-Lys located in ACE were successfully predicted using the appropriate docking parameters. The molecular dynamics (MD) result indicated that they bound tightly to the active site of ACE by means of coordination with Zn(II) and hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interaction with the residues in the pockets of S1 and S2, resulting in stable complexes. In summary, this work proposed a strategy for screening and identifying antihypertensive peptides from Todarodes pacificus.

Hypertension is well known as one of the major risk for cardiovascular diseases which annually affect millions of people. The angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) plays a key role in blood pressure regulation process. Indeed, hypertension treatment by synthetic ACE inhibitors (e.g. captopril, lisinopril and ramipril) is effective; however, their use can cause serious side effects, such as hypotension, cough, reduced renal function and angioedema. Thus, research was focused on natural ACE inhibitory peptides sources such as foodstuffs and also, more recently, edible insects. In the last decades, ACE inhibitory activity has been detected in protein hydrolysates from insect species belonging to the orders of Coleoptera, Diptera, Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera and also Orthoptera. Further investigations led to identify specific ACE inhibitory peptides from the silkworm Bombyx mori (Lepidoptera: Bombycidae), the yellow mealworm Tenebrio molitor (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae), the cotton leafworm Spodoptera littoralis (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) and also from the weaver ant Oecophylla smaragdina (Hymenoptera: Formicidae). Even if ACE inhibitory activity of these bioactive peptides has been in vitro assayed and is comparable to those of some bioactive peptides derived from other animal protein sources, the in vivo effectiveness of most of these bioactive peptides still needs to be confirmed. The aim of this review is to present an outline of the currently available data on the potential use of insects for hypertension treatment with a focus on the ACE inhibitory peptides identified in these invertebrates to date.
