ABSTRACT
High blood pressure has been recognized as one of the main risk factors of cardiometabolic syndrome by health organizations. Hypertension is medicated by various classes of synthetic drugs; however, adverse effects have repeatedly been reported. Moreover, natural alternatives such as fish peptides have been effective in the treatment and prevention of hypertension. The aim of our study was to fractionate and identify antihypertensive peptides. Fractions were produced using different techniques of solid-phase extraction (SPE), pressure-driven ultrafiltration (UF), and electro04dialysis with UF membrane. According to our results, the hydrophobic fraction of SPE (IC50 5 µg) was the most potent anti-angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) product. Findings of the study suggest that the separation technique plays an important role in the isolation efficiency of antihypertensive biopeptides. Importantly, the hydrophobic fraction's activity was retained through a static model of an in vitro gastrointestinal digestion system. In conclusion, polarity regardless of charge and size was the most important factor for anti-ACE activity of an Atlantic mackerel biopeptide. In addition, the presence of leucine at either of the extremities (C- or N-terminal) and/or leucine-rich motifs could well explain the hypotensive effect of our active fraction.
