Protease inhibitors are involved in the regulation of endogenous cysteine proteases during
seed development and play a defensive role because of their ability to inhibit exogenous …

Araucaria angustifolia seeds are characterised by a relatively high content of starch and
protein. This study aimed to verify the presence of α-amylase inhibitors in the seeds and to …

The aim of the current investigation was to purify cysteine protease inhibitors from sunflower
(Helianthus annuus L. cv. Record)(Asteraceae) seeds with potential activity on gut protease …

Antifungal resistance poses a significant challenge to disease management, necessitating
the development of novel drugs. Antimicrobial peptides offer potential solutions. This study …

Cysteine protease inhibitors (CPIs) have been known to be present in a variety of seeds of
plants, and have been intensively studied as useful tools for potential utilization in …

Araujiain aII, the protease with highest specific activity purified from latex of Araujia
angustifolia (Apocynaceae), shows optimum proteolytic activity at alkaline pH, and it is …

Proteinaceous inhibitors with high inhibitory activities against human neutrophil elastase
(HNE) were found in seeds of the Tamarind tree (Tamarindus indica). A serine proteinase …

This study investigated the content and biological activity of three solvent extracts of Adonis
ramosa Franch (AR), which contains 12 types of phytochemicals. The overall yield and total …

A 6.5 kDa serine protease inhibitor was purified by anion-exchange chromatography from
the crude extract of the Inga umbratica seeds, containing inhibitor isoforms ranging from 6.3 …

Plants have developed biochemical compounds useful for humans. Enzymes and enzyme
inhibitors are among the most studied ones. Protease inhibitors have been reported in …
