Anti-inflammatory peptides and composition comprising the same
A peptide with anti-inflammatory activity is described, wherein the peptide comprises at least one amino acid sequence among SEQ ID NO: 2 to SEQ ID NO: 179, the peptide has above 80% homology of amino acid sequence with above-mentioned sequences, or the peptide is the fragment of the above-mentioned peptides. The peptides that have at least one amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2 to SEQ ID NO: 179 shows outstanding efficacy in both suppressing inflammation and in prophylactic means. Therefore, the composition comprising those peptides can be used as anti-inflammatory pharmaceutical compositions or as cosmetic compositions, in turn, treating and preventing a variety of different types of inflammatory diseases.
1. A composition comprising an isolated peptide 6 amino acids in length having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 117.
2. The composition of claim 1 , comprising 0.1 μg/mg to 1 mg/mg of the isolated peptide.
3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition is a pharmaceutical composition formulated for oral, rectal, transdermal, intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, intramedullary, epidural, or subcutaneous administration.
