These may be seen as 2% more peptide, but it may stringent specifications become increasingly also be regarded as a 40% decrease in difficult to maintain for longer peptides unless impurities (from 5% to 3%) and their possible extremely efficient synthetic strategies are interference. used to maintain high yields. At ChinaPeptides Laboratories, research grade peptides are handmade by skilled technicians. Manual synthesis means that we can carefully control each step, repeating reactions where necessary. Each peptide is made individually by a dedicated technician who is responsible for the whole synthesis - from weighing the individual amino acids through to the final purification. Only the final quality control is performed independently. It is a matter of personal pride for each technician that the best result is obtained. The combination of high yields obtained using manual technology This argument can, of course, be inverted to and proprietary purification procedures is explain why peptides used to raise antibodies, particularly adaptable for scaling-up to do not need to have the same high purity as multigram and larger quantities. those used for pharmacological research. The concentration of any given partial sequence Because higher peptide purity costs more, (e.g. the relevant epitope) will always be one of the questions which many customers higher than that of the complete sequence. ask is how pure a peptide should be. This is There is, for example, no reason why a not an easy question to answer, but the peptide with only 85% HPLC purity may not investigator should be aware of the following contain 97% of the relevant epitope.

HANLEY MRC Neurochemical Pharmacology Unit, Medical Research Council Centre, Medical School, Hills Road, Cambridge CB2 2QH 1 The effects of substance P and related peptides on amylase release from rat parotid gland slices have been investigated. 2 Supramaximal concentrations (1 F.M) of substance P caused enhancement of amylase release over the basal level within 1 min; this lasted for at least 40 min at 30°C. 3 Substance P-stimulated amylase release was partially dependent on extracellular calcium and could be inhibited by 50% upon removal of extracellular calcium. 4 Substance P stimulated amylase release in a dose-dependent manner with an ED50 of 18 nm. 5 All C-terminal fragments of substance P were less potent than substance P in stimulating amylase release. The C-terminal hexapeptide of substance P was the minimum structure for potent activity in this system, having 1/3 to 1/8 the potency of substance P. There was a dramatic drop in potency for the C-terminal pentapeptide of substance P or substance P free acid. Physalaemin was more potent than substance P (ED50 = 7 nM), eledoisin was about equipotent with substance P (ED5o = 17 nM), and kassinin less potent than substance P (ED50 = 150 nM). 6 The structure-activity profile observed is very similar to that for stimulation of salivation in vivo, indicating that the same receptors are involved in mediating these responses.

The 8-amino acid peptide has the following primary structure: WMSLGWSL-amide and has a molecular mass of 978 Da. The primary structure and organisation of the biosynthetic precursor of WL-8 amide was successfully deduced from cloned skin secretion-derived cDNA.

  • Casomorphins and Gliadorphins Have Diverse Systemic Effects Spanning Gut, Brain and Internal Organs
    International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health Article Casomorphins and Gliadorphins Have Diverse Systemic Effects Spanning Gut, Brain and Internal Organs Keith Bernard Woodford Agri-Food Systems, Lincoln University, Lincoln 7674, New Zealand; [email protected] Abstract: Food-derived opioid peptides include digestive products derived from cereal and dairy diets. If these opioid peptides breach the intestinal barrier, typically linked to permeability and constrained biosynthesis of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4), they can attach to opioid receptors. The widespread presence of opioid receptors spanning gut, brain, and internal organs is fundamental to the diverse and systemic effects of food-derived opioids, with effects being evidential across many health conditions. However, manifestation delays following low-intensity long-term exposure create major challenges for clinical trials. Accordingly, it has been easiest to demonstrate causal relationships in digestion-based research where some impacts occur rapidly. Within this environment, the role of the microbiome is evidential but challenging to further elucidate, with microbiome effects ranging across gut-condition indicators and modulators, and potentially as systemic causal factors. Elucidation requires a systemic framework that acknowledges that public-health effects of food- derived opioids are complex with varying genetic susceptibility and confounding factors, together with system-wide interactions and feedbacks. The specific role of the microbiome within

Batch specific analytical results are provided on each certificate of analysis. Laboratory Procedures Spinorphin is supplied as a crystalline solid. A stock solution may be made by dissolving the spinorphin in the solvent of choice, which should be purged with an inert gas. Spinorphin is soluble in organic solvents such as DMSO and dimethyl formamide. The solubility of spinorphin in these solvents is approximately 30 mg/ml. Description Spinorphin is a heptapeptide inhibitor of the enkephalin-degrading enzymes aminopeptidase, dipeptidyl aminopeptidase, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), and enkephalinase (IC50s = 3.3, 1.4, 2.4, and 10 µg/ml, respectively, for monkey brain enzymes).1 It is selective for these enzymes over human serum aminopeptidase A (IC50 = >100 µg/ml), as well as porcine kidney aminopeptidase B, aminopeptidase M, dipeptidyl peptidase 1 (DPP-1), DPP-2, DPP-3, and DPP-4 (IC50s = >55 µg/ml for all). Spinorphin inhibits chemotaxis, production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and exocytosis of glucuronidase and collagenase in polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs). It potentiates enkephalin-induced action potentials in rat hippocampal slices.
