Amino acid sequence identification of goji berry cyclic peptides and anticervical carcinoma activity detection

The goji berry is widely used as tonics; however, the antihuman cervical carcinoma effect and underlying mechanism of goji berry peptide remain to be elucidated. The cyclic peptides are appealing targets in antitumor agent development, and in current study, three novel goji berry cyclic peptides (GCPs) were isolated and amino acid sequence identified. Among them, GCP‐1 (Cycle‐(Trp‐Glu‐His‐Thr)) inhibited proliferation and induced human cervical...
