Structural Insights on Hyp-Gly-Containing Peptides as Antiplatelet Compounds through Topomer CoMFA and CoMSIA Analysis

Abstract

Increasing evidence has shown collagen hydrolysate involves a variety of bioactivities. In our previous study, multiple antiplatelet peptides containing Hyp/Pro-Gly were identified in collagen hydrolysates from Salmo salar and silver carp skin and exhibited anti-thrombosis activity without bleeding risks in vivo. However, the relationship between structure and activity remains unknown. We performed 3D-QSAR studies on 23 Hyp/Pro-Gly-containing peptides in which 13 peptides were reported before. CoMFA, Topomer CoMFA and CoMSIA analyses were used to generate the QSAR models. Topomer CoMFA analysis showed a q2 value of 0.710, an r2 value of 0.826, an r2pred value of 0.930, and the results showed that Hyp instead of Pro was more important for improving the antiplatelet activity. CoMSIA analysis showed a q2 value of 0.461, an r2 value of 0.999, and an r2pred value of 0.999. Compared with the electrostatic field and hydrogen bond donor field, the steric field, hydrophobic field and hydrogen bond receptor field have great influence on the activity of antiplatelet peptides. The predicted peptide EOGE exhibited antiplatelet activity induced by ADP, and inhibited thrombus formation (300 μmol/kg bw) without bleeding risks. Combined results of these studies indicate that OG-containing peptides had a potential to be developed into an effective specific medical food in the prevention of thrombotic diseases.
