Objective: Diabetes mellitus (DM) causes hyperglycemia, which is one of the most common diseases in the world. One of the strategies for the treatment of diabetes is maintaining postprandial glucose level through inhibition of dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) and α-glucosidase enzymes. The aim of this study was to determine in vitro antidiabetic potential of Ferula assa-foetida via DPP-IV and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities.Methods: F. assa-foetida seeds were extracted in methanol, ethanol, ethanol-methanol, and water. Inhibitory activity on DPP-IV and α-glucosidase wasperformed in vitro and measured spectrophotometrically at λ=405 nm.Results: The result showed that the F. assa-foetida seed extract is effective against both enzymes. All fractions had DPP-IV inhibitory activity, but the ethanolic fraction had the highest inhibitory activity on DPP-IV enzyme and significantly decreased DPP-IV activity (24.5%). With respect to α-glucosidase inhibitory activity, the aqueous extract has the highest inhibitory activity (28%).Conclusion: According to the results of this study, F. assa-foetida contains DPP-IV and α-glucosidase inhibitors and could be a potential source for the discovery of active constituents as α-glucosidase and DPP-IV inhibitors to treat Type 2 DM.Keywords: Diabetes mellitus, Herbal medicine, Dipeptidyl peptidase IV, α-glucosidase.

Previous studies showed that hydrolysates ofβ-lactoglobulin (BLG) prepared using gastrointestinal proteases strongly inhibit dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) activityin vitro. In this study, we developed a BLG-secretingLactococcus lactisstrain as a delivery vehicle andin situexpression system. Interestingly, trypsin-digested recombinant BLG fromL. lactisinhibited DPP-IV activity, suggesting that BLG-secretingL. lactismay be useful in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) inhibitors occupy a growing place in the drugs used for the management of type 2 diabetes. Recently, food components, including food-derived bioactive peptides, have been suggested as sources of DPP-IV inhibitors without side effects. Chinese black tea is a traditional health beverage, and it was used for finding DPP-IV inhibitory peptides in this study. The ultra-filtrated fractions isolated from the aqueous extracts of black tea revealed DPP-IV inhibitory activity in vitro. Four peptides under 1 kDa were identified by SDS-PAGE and LC-MS/MS (Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry-Mass Spectrometry) from the ultra-filtrate. The peptide II (sequence: AGFAGDDAPR), with a molecular mass of 976 Da, showed the greatest DPP-IV inhibitory activity (in vitro) among the four peptides. After administration of peptide II (400 mg/day) for 57 days to streptozotocin (STZ)-induced hyperglycemic mice, the concentration of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) in the blood increased from 9.85 ± 1.96 pmol/L to 19.22 ± 6.79 pmol/L, and the insulin level was increased 4.3-fold compared to that in STZ control mice. Immunohistochemistry revealed the improved function of pancreatic beta-cells and suppressed proliferation of pancreatic alpha-cells. This study provides new insight into the use of black tea as a potential resource of food-derived DPP-IV inhibitory peptides for the management of type 2 diabetes.

AbstractObjective: Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP IV) is a serine amino (exo) peptidase which regulates various processes most notably plasma glucose homeostasis by cleaving incretin peptide hormones as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulin releasing polypeptide (GIP). Realization of the inhibition of this enzyme in controlling diabetes is one of the strategies adopted in recent years. The present study was designed to investigate the DPP IV inhibitory effects of sixteen plant having antidiabetic property in aqueous extracts in correlation with their protein content.Methods: In vitro DPP IV inhibition was evaluated by the specific inhibitory activity of plant aqueous extracts prepared without and with heat (60°C) treatment.Results: Among the tested plants Vitis vinifera L., Artemisia dracunculus L., Prunus laurocerasus L., Rubus caesius L. and Olea europaea L. extracts showed DPP IV inhibitory activity with respect to IC50 values of 0.04-0.09 mg protein/ml. Kinetic analysis indicated that the inhibitor potency of A. dracunculus extract was stronger than the other extracts.Conclusion: The present study is the first report on screening and preliminary characterization of DPP IV inhibitory activity in aqueous extracts of selected antidiabetic medicinal food. This study could provide a new insight into DPP IV inhibitors from plants that could be useful for treatment of Type 2 diabetes.

Arthrospira platensis (spirulina) is a cyanobacterium, which contains mainly two phycobiliproteins (PBP), i.e., C-phycocyanin (C-PC) and allophycocyanin (APC). In this study, PBP were hydrolyzed using trypsin, and the composition of the hydrolysate was characterized by HPLC-ESI-MS/MS. Furthermore, the potential anti-diabetic activity was assessed by using either biochemical or cellular techniques. Findings suggest that PBP peptides inhibit DPP-IV activity in vitro with a dose-response trend and an IC50 value falling in the range between 0.5 and 1.0 mg/mL. A lower inhibition of the DPP-IV activity expressed by Caco-2 cells was observed, which was explained by a secondary metabolic degradation exerted by the same cells.

The focus of the presented study is the in vitro anti-oxidant activity and anti-diabetic potential of water extracts from the following four herbal substances, not traditionally used for treatment of diabetes mellitus – leaves of Sambucus ebulus L. and Prunus mahaleb L., and flowering stems of Cichorium intybus L. and Satureja kitaibelii Wierzb. ex Heuff. The water extracts are obtained through ultrasonication. The extract of S. kitaibelii stands out due to its highest values in all studied indicators – total phenolic content, scavenging potential (DPPH, ABTS) and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity which was six times higher than acarbose. The extract of C. intybus also showed significant α-glucosidase inhibitory activity compared to acarbose. The flowering stems of both species are promising sources of biologically active substances for blood sugar control in diabetes mellitus.

Abstract Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a leading cause of death globally. T2DM patients experience glucose intolerance, and inhibitors of dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) and α-glucosidase are used as drugs for T2DM management. DPP-IV and α-glucosidase inhibitors are also naturally contained in foods, but their potency can be affected by the food matrix and processing methods. In this study, germination and solid-state fermentation (SSF) were used to alter pulse seed microstructures, to convert compounds into more bioactive forms, and to improve their bioaccessibility. Germination substantially modified the seed microstructure, protein digestibility, contents and profiles of phenolic compounds in all the pulses. It also increased DPP-IV and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities in chickpeas, faba beans and yellow peas. Compared to germination, SSF with Lactobacillus plantarum changed the content and the profile of phenolic compounds mainly in yellow peas and green lentils because of greater disruption of the seed cell wall. In the same pulses, heat treatment and SSF of flour increased DPP-IV and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities. The results of this study suggest that germination and SSF with L. plantarum are effective and simple methods for modulating phenolic and protein profiles of common pulses and improve the action on DPP-IV and α-glucosidase.
