    Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) is a protease that degrades incretin and inhibits the secretion of insulin. Consequently, DPP-4 inhibition promotes insulin secretion and prevents the onset of type 2 diabetes. Given the growing interest in food-derived DPP-4 inhibitory peptides as potential functional ingredients, buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) represents a promising source; however, few studies have investigated the bioactivity of peptides derived from buckwheat flour hydrolysates. In this study, two DPP-4 inhibitory peptides, Ile-Pro-Trp and Ile-Pro-Leu, were identified through purification of buckwheat flour hydrolysate and liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry analysis. In a rat oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), a fraction of buckwheat flour hydrolysate, crudely purified by reverse-phase column chromatography, showed a non-significant trend toward reducing increases in blood glucose. To our knowledge, this study is the first to show that Ile-Pro-Trp isolated from food protein hydrolysates exhibits considerable DPP-4 inhibitory activity. Moreover, this is the first study identifying Ile-Pro-Ile as a DPP-4 inhibitor from a plant source.

    cis-12-oxo-Phytodieneoic acid-α-monoglyceride (1) was isolated from Arabidopsis thaliana. The chemical structure of 1 was elucidated based on exhaustive 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic measurements and supported by FDMS and HRFDMS data. The absolute configuration of the cis-OPDA moiety in 1 was determined by comparison of 1H NMR spectra and ECD measurements. With respect to the absolute configuration of the β-position of the glycerol backbone, the 2:3 ratio of (S) to (R) was determined by making ester-bonded derivatives with (R)-(+)-α-methoxy-α-trifluoromethylphenylacetyl chloride and comparing 1H NMR spectra. Wounding stress did not increase endogenous levels of 1, and it was revealed 1 had an inhibitory effect of A. thaliana post germination growth. Notably, the endogenous amount of 1 was higher than the amounts of (+)-7-iso-jasmonic acid and (+)-cis-OPDA in intact plants. 1 also showed antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria, but jasmonic acid did not. It was also found that α-linolenic acid-α-monoglyceride was converted into 1 in the A. thaliana plant, which implied α-linolenic acid-α-monoglyceride was a biosynthetic intermediate of 1.

    <p> Periodontal disease is a major public health problem that affects over half of the adult population worldwide. Lipopolysaccharides (LPS), produced by the periodontopathic bacterium <i>Porphyromonas gingivalis</i>, induces the expression of inflammatory cytokines that promote inflammatory bone destruction. Buckwheat bran (BB), a traditional pseudocereal crop, belongs to a group of grains having high nutritional value and has been reported to be an effective agent. However, the anti-inflammatory effects of BB on <i>Porphyromonas gingivalis</i>-lipopolysaccharide (<i>P.g</i>.-LPS) -stimulated human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) have not been completely elucidated yet. This study determined that the buckwheat bran flour hydrolysate powder (BBFHP) significantly inhibited the <i>P.g</i>.-LPS-induced production of inflammation-associated genes, including interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4). Moreover, BBFHP suppressed <i>P.g</i>.-LPS-induced NF-κB signaling. The results suggest that the BBFHP attenuates the production of inflammation-associated molecules and suppresses the activation of NF-κB in <i>P.g</i>.-LPS treated HGFs.</p>
