Bioactive peptides are fragments that are part of many proteins and which, upon release, are capable of regulating a series of biological processes. To release them, proteins need to be degraded by digestive enzymes or industrial processes. These peptides maintain antihypertensive, antimicrobial, antioxidant, anticarcinogenic, anti-inflammatory properties, amongst others, that could be used to develop new drugs. In this research work, we have highlighted the utility of bioactive peptides as highly-specific compounds capable to contribute in the improvements of pathologies such as cancer, high blood pressure and Alzheimer’s disease. Particularly, in these diseases, we show in vitro and in vivo experiments with promising results that motivate further studies in humans. These peptides were extracted from soy bean, cow milk and tuna liver, evidencing the availability of these in nature and posing the question of all the other compounds that could be found in the flora and fauna of Peru. Moreover, we present a serious of novel technologies to isolate said compounds, amongst these are selective precipitation, membrane filtration, size-exclusion chromatography and isoelectric focusing. These techniques are scalable, easily applied, rapid, do not require significant investment in infrastructure or equipment and do not need a significant amount of sample. In conclusion, in this work we demonstrate that bioactive peptides have great promise in particular in the identification of novel compounds to develop new drugs. If we generate an alliance in Peru between the scientific community, the industry and public financing entities, our country’s biodiversity could be responsibly exploited to proceed, in a big scale, with the massive isolation and identification of bioactive compounds of great interest worldwide
