In this study, the effects of ultrasound-assisted enzymatic hydrolysis on the extraction of anti-inflammatory peptides from porcine bone collagen were investigated. The results showed that ultrasound treatment increased the content of α-helix while decreased β-chain and random coil, promoted generation of small molecular peptides. Ultrasound-assisted enzymatic hydrolysis improved the peptide content, enhanced ABTS+ radical scavenging and ferrous ion chelating ability than non-ultrasound group. At the ultrasonic power of 450 W (20 min), peptides possessed significant anti-inflammatory activity, where the releasing of interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) was all suppressed in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced RAW264.7 cells. After the analysis with LC-MS/MS, eight peptides with potential anti-inflammatory activities were selected by the PeptideRanker and molecular docking. In general, the ultrasound-assisted enzymatic hydrolysis was an effective strategy to extract the bioactive peptides from porcine bone, and the inflammatory regulation capacity of bone collagen sourced peptides was firstly demonstrated.
