Description: Asn-Trp (NW),, derived from computer-aided simulation of dioscorin hydrolysis, exhibits antioxidant and antiglycation activities, which thus shows the benefits of the yam tuber as an antioxidant-rich food. Asn-Trp (NW), and its analogue, Gln-Trp (QW)—were synthesised to compare their antioxidant and antiglycation activities with carnosine, homocarnosine, or glutathione (GSH). The antioxidant assays included hydroxyl radical-scavenging activity, anti-AAPH-induced hemolysis, and ORAC activity. NW had a significantly higher antioxidant activity than had QW and performed much better than carnosine, homocarnosine, or GSH. NW and QW (50–200 μM) showed protection against methylglyoxal-induced cell deaths in human umbilical vein endothelial cells.
