Isolation Purification and Characterization of Antimicrobial Peptides from <Emphasis Type="Italic">Cuminum cyminum</Emphasis> L. Seeds

In this work, antimicrobial peptides from Cuminum cyminum L. seeds were isolated and purified for the first time by 50% ethanol extraction, C18 reverse phase column chromatography and ion exchange chromatography for separation different peptides fraction. Then isolated fractions were characterized by Gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), high-pressure liquid chromatography and the peptides components and molecular weights were determined by liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. The extracts were tested against some strains of bacteria (E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus) and one strain of fungi (Candida albicans) using well diffusion and broth dilution assays. The extracts from C. cyminum L. seeds demonstrated a high degree of activity (some antibacterial effect) against the bacteria strains and аntifungal activity against the Candida albicans. However, the study indicates that the crude peptide extracts from C. cyminum L. seeds have promising antimicrobial and antioxidant activities that can be harnessed as leads for potential bioactive compounds.
