In previous studies using a sepsis model, we demonstrated the antitumor and anti-inflammatory action of these compounds. This study aimed to evaluate the gastroprotective and antielastase effects of protein inhibitors from E. velutina seeds in an experimental stress-induced ulcer model. Two protein isolates from E. velutina seeds, with antitrypsin (PIAT) and antichymotrypsin (PIAQ) activities, were tested. Both protein isolates showed a high affinity and inhibitory effect against human neutrophil elastase, with 84% and 85% inhibition, respectively. Gastric ulcer was induced using ethanol (99%) in 6 groups of animals (female Wistar rats, n = 6). Before ulcer induction, these animals were treated for 5 days with one of the following: (1) PIAT (0.2 mg\u00b7kg<jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>), (2) PIAT (0.4 mg\u00b7kg<jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>), (3) PIAQ (0.035 mg\u00b7kg<jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>), (4) ranitidine hydrochloride (50 mg\u00b7kg<jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>), (5) saline solution (0.9%), or (6) no intervention (sham). Both PIAT and PIAQ protected gastric mucosa, preventing hemorrhagic lesions, edema, and mucus loss. No histologic toxic effects of PIAT or PIAQ were seen in liver and pancreatic cells. Our results show that protein isolates from E. velutina seeds have potential gastroprotective effects, placing these compounds as natural candidates for gastric ulcer prevention. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1139\/bcb-2016-0034","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,9,12]],"date-time":"2016-09-12T21:46:12Z","timestamp":1473716772000},"page":"243-250","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1139\/csp-crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Gastroprotective and antielastase effects of protein inhibitors from <i>Erythrina velutina<\/i> seeds in an experimental ulcer model"],"prefix":"10.1139","volume":"95","author":[{"given":"Vanessa Cristina","family":"Oliveira de Lima","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Biochemistry Department, Biosciences Center, Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, 59078-970 Natal, RN, Brazil."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Richele Jana\u00edna","family":"de Ara\u00fajo Machado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biochemistry Department, Biosciences Center, Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, 59078-970 Natal, RN, Brazil."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Norberto K\u00e1ssio","family":"Vieira Monteiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biochemistry Department, Biosciences Center, Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, 59078-970 Natal, RN, Brazil."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ibson Lucas","family":"de Lyra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biochemistry Department, Biosciences Center, Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, 59078-970 Natal, RN, Brazil."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christina","family":"da Silva Camillo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Morphology Department, Biosciences Center, Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, 59078-970 Natal, RN, Brazil."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alexandre","family":"Coelho Serquiz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biochemistry Department, Biosciences Center, Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, 59078-970 Natal, RN, Brazil."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Adeliana","family":"Silva de Oliveira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biochemistry Department, Biosciences Center, Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, 59078-970 Natal, RN, Brazil."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fab\u00edola Patr\u00edcia","family":"da Silva Rufino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biochemistry Department, Biosciences Center, Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, 59078-970 Natal, RN, Brazil."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bruna","family":"Leal Lima Maciel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nutrition Department Center for Health Sciences, Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, 59078-970 Natal, RN, Brazil."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Adriana","family":"Ferreira Uch\u00f4a","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Molecular Biology and Genetics Department, Center for Health Sciences, Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, 59078-970 Natal, RN, Brazil."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Elizeu","family":"Antunes dos Santos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biochemistry Department, Biosciences Center, Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, 59078-970 Natal, RN, Brazil."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ana Heloneida","family":"de Ara\u00fajo Morais","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nutrition Department Center for Health Sciences, Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, 59078-970 Natal, RN, Brazil."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"155","reference":[{"key":"refg1\/ref1","first-page":"113","volume":"147","author":"Adami E.","year":"1964","journal-title":"Arch.
