【 摘 要 】

In this report, we deal with the isolation of a novel vasorelaxing peptide from a chymotryptic digest of ovalbumin and its vasorelaxing activities. This peptide is composed of Arg-Ala-Asp-His-Pro-Phe (RADHPF) in its sequence, corresponding to residues 359–364 of ovalbumin. This peptide (30–300 μM) exerted a dose-dependent vasodilation in an isolated mesenteric artery from a spontaneously hypertensive rat which was pre-constricted by phenylephrine, besides the relaxation being endothelium-dependent. It is noteworthy that the nitric oxide synthase inhibitor N ^G-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester inhibited this relaxation, implying involvement of nitric oxide in its mechanism of action. Following oral administration of RADHPF at a dose of 10 mg/kg, the systolic blood pressure in a spontaneously hypertensive rat was significantly lowered.
