In this study, XO inhibitory peptides were identified from whey protein isolate hydrolysates, and their inhibitory mechanism and in vivo activities were investigated. The peptides interacted with residues around the active site of XO and exhibited anti-hyperuricemia effects. These findings suggest that these peptides can be considered as natural XO inhibitors for the treatment of HUA.
As the development of hyperuricemia (HUA) and gout continues to accelerate worldwide, there is increasing interest in the use of xanthine oxidase (XO) inhibitors as therapeutic agents for the management of HUA and gout. In the present study, XO inhibitory peptides were identified from whey protein isolate (WPI) hydrolysates, and the underlying inhibitory mechanism and in vivo activities was investigated. WPI hydrolysates were isolated and purified, and two peptides (ALPM and LWM) with lower binding energy were screened by molecular docking. The result showed that these two peptides interacted with residues around the active site of XO through hydrogen bond and hydrophobic interaction. The IC50 values of ALPM and LWM were 7.23 +/- 0.22 and 5.01 +/- 0.31 mM, respectively. According to the Lineweaver-Burk curve, the inhibition types of ALPM and LWM were non-competitive inhibition. Circular dichroism (CD) spectra indicated ALPM and LWM could change the secondary structure of XO. Molecular dynamics simulations revealed that XO-peptide complexes were more stable and compact than XO. Moreover, animal studies have shown that ALPM and LWM have anti-hyperuricemia effects in vivo. This study suggested that ALPM and LWM can be considered as natural XO inhibitors for the treatment of HUA.
