Peptidobiotics: a new direction in the correction of intestinal microbiot

Introduction

In recent years, the scientific community has been paying increasing attention to the study of intestinal microbiota and its impact on overall human health. The gut microbiota plays a key role in many physiological processes, including digestion, metabolism, immune function and even mental health. The development of new approaches to microbiota correction opens up prospects for the prevention and treatment of a wide range of diseases. One such innovative approach is the use of peptidobiotics—biologically active compounds that can modulate the composition and function of the intestinal microbiota.

Peptidobiotics: mechanisms of action

Peptidobiotics are a class of compounds that contain one or more peptides that can influence the gut microbiota. These compounds may have a direct antimicrobial effect by inhibiting the growth of pathogenic microorganisms, or indirectly modulate the microbiota by altering peptide regulation mechanisms.

Research shows that peptidobiotics can regulate the availability of amino acids and, as a result, influence the synthesis of regulatory peptides by the intestinal wall. Such interactions highlight the complexity of microbiota-host communication networks, including the “gut microbiota-brain axis” that influences neuroendocrine regulation and behavioral responses.

The role of peptidobiotics in the correction of microbiota

Peptidobiotics may play a key role in maintaining the health of the gut microbiota and therefore the overall health of the body. They can be used to correct the microbiota in a variety of diseases, including autoimmune disorders, metabolic syndromes and neurological conditions.

Correction of the microbiota with peptidobiotics may include restoring the balance between beneficial and harmful microorganisms, improving intestinal barrier function, and modulating the immune response. These effects are achieved through the unique properties of peptidobiotic peptides, which can interact with microbiota and host cells at the molecular level.

Prospects and challenges

Despite the significant potential of peptidobiotics in correcting the intestinal microbiota, before their use, a deep understanding of the mechanisms of interaction of peptides with microbiota, determination of optimal dosages and delivery methods, as well as assessment of long-term safety and effectiveness are necessary.
