天然非蛋白氨基酸的生物活性机制研究进展

Bioactivity and Mechanism of Action of Natural Non-Protein Amino Acids: A Review of Recent Literature

非蛋白氨基酸是食品药品中一类重要的天然活性物质,其来源丰富、种类繁多、作用机制复杂。本文参考国内外相关文献,总结了一些迄今为止对人类影响较大且研究较为深入的天然非蛋白氨基酸,对其生物来源、已知生物活性和作用机制进行了综述,旨在探讨这类天然化合物在农业、环境、食品、医药以及生命科学等领域的潜在应用价值。

As an important category of natural bioactive substances in foods and medicine, non-protein amino acids are characterized by abundant sources, varietal diversity and complex mechanism of action. Based on an extensive review of the literature, this article summarizes some non-protein amino acids that have a great impact on humans and have been investigated intensively so far. It reviews the biological sources, bioactivities and mechanisms of action of these amino acids. The aim is to present the application potential of such natural compounds in several fields such as agriculture, environmental science, food science, medicine and life science.
