摘要

This study reports the first systematic isolation and characterization of bioactive peptides from Cuminum cyminum L. seeds using 50% ethanol extraction coupled with C18 reverse-phase chromatography. Three peptide fractions were evaluated for antimicrobial, antioxidant, and hypoglycemic activities. ZD-30 and ZD-50 exhibited potent antibacterial effects against Escherichia coli and significant antioxidant capacity, while ZD-70 demonstrated hypoglycemic potential via PTP1B inhibition. MALDI-TOF/TOF MS/MS analysis identified 479 unique peptide sequences, with 15 multifunctional candidates prioritized through computational tools (PeptideRanker, ToxinPred, PEP-FOLD3). Molecular dynamics simulations revealed α-helix/β-sheet conformations critical for membrane interactions and bioactivity. These findings validate Cumin’s traditional medicinal applications and provide a molecular foundation for developing plant-derived therapeutics targeting antimicrobial resistance and metabolic disorders.
