Anti-inflammatory peptides and compositions 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. An anti-inflammatory composition comprising an isolated peptide 5 amino acids in length consisting of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 101 as an active ingredient.
2. The anti-inflammatory composition according to claim 1 for treatment of a urogenital disorder.
3. The anti-inflammatory composition according to claim 2 , wherein the urogenital disorder is selected from the group consisting of epididymitis, vaginitis, prostatitis, and urethritis.
