Anti inflammatory peptides discovered in rice using Nuritas' AI program

Peptides reduce inflammaging and improve standardised physical tests

03-Sep-2020

Key points from article :

Nuritas has discovered natural rice-based peptides known to impact inflammation & physical health.

Peptide was identified via AI program Nuritas Peptide Finder, from billions of other peptides in rice.

Unlocked their biological functionality & carried lab-based testing & a human clinical trial.

Trial showed that the peptide inhibits TNF-α - an inflammatory cytokine.

Reducing TNF-α corresponds with improvements in a number of standardised physical health tests.

These peptides decrease inflammaging & prevent development of lifestyle & metabolic diseases.

But health benefits of the peptides cannot be achieved by just eating rice.

" With COVID-19 heightening general awareness of inflammation and cytokines, discovering a natural product which can assist is a hugely significant finding for the team" - Dr Khaldi, Nuritas Founder & CEO.

Research by Nuritas published in Foods Journal.
