Serine proteases, a sub-category of the protease family, participate in various physiologic and pathologic conditions. Serine proteases are involved in different arms of the immune system and play an important role in inflammation. They have been evaluated as therapeutic targets in several
Soybean Bowman-Birk protease inhibitor (BBI) and genistein, two biological compounds from soybean, are well-known for their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer activities. The aim of this study was designing a BBI-genistein conjugate and then investigating its protective effect on
The Bowman-Birk inhibitors (BBIs) are well-studied serine protease inhibitors that are abundant in dicotyledonous and monocotyledonous plants. BBIs from dicots usually have a molecular weight of 8k and are double-headed with two reactive sites, whereas those from monocots can be divided into two
The Bowman-Birk inhibitor (BBI) is a soybean-derived anticarcinogenic protease inhibitor with anti-inflammatory activity. To assess the possibility of utilizing BBI for alleviating the side effects associated with lung cancer radiation and chemotherapy, we have determined the effects of BBI and a
Lunasin is a naturally-occurring peptide demonstrating chemopreventive, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. To exhibit these activities, orally ingested lunasin needs to survive proteolytic attack of digestive enzymes to reach target tissues in active form/s. Preliminary studies suggested
The Bowman-Birk protease inhibitor (BBI) is a soybean-derived protease inhibitor with anticarcinogenic and anti-inflammatory properties. BBI has previously been shown to suppress the release of superoxide anion radicals from purified polymorphonuclear leukocytes. In the present study we evaluated
