Abstract
The invention concerns a peptide extract of lupine (lupinus) characterised in that it has a metalloprotease inhibiting activity, in particular collagenase and gelatinase. The invention also concerns a pharmaceutical, cosmetic or nutritional composition comprising a peptide extract, optionally an inert carrier, in particular for treating humans or mammals suffering from a condition or disease related to excessive degeneration of support by a metalloprotease.
