Lung inflammation and injuries are major health problems. The SPA4 peptide (amino acid sequence GDFRYSDGTPVNYTNWYRGE) binds to Toll-like receptor-4 and exerts anti-inflammatory activity. In this study, we have determined the stability of the structure and structure–activity relationship of the SPA4 peptide under ambient and stressed conditions of lung injury. The SPA4 peptide was maintained at different pH and temperatures, in solutions of different ionic strengths, and simulated lung fluids. The primary and secondary structure of the SPA4 peptide was determined by ultraviolet-visible (UV-VIS) and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. The activity of the SPA4 peptide was determined by measurement of secreted levels of chemokine C–X–C motif ligand 1/keratinocyte-derived chemokine (CXCL1/KC) and lactate by primary mouse lung epithelial cells against lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimuli. Our results demonstrate the stability of the structure of the SPA4 peptide at room temperature and 4 °C over 10 days. The original UV-VIS spectra of the SPA4 peptide followed a typical pattern when incubated in solutions of pH 5.7, 7.0, and 8.0 at different temperatures, simulated lung fluids, and most of the chemical components. Slight shifts in the absorbance peaks, derivative values, and vibrational fine structures were noted in the fourth-derivative spectra of the SPA4 peptide under some conditions. An increased level of lactate is the hallmark of lung injury. The SPA4 peptide on its own and in the presence of lactate exerts anti-inflammatory activity. The primary and secondary structure and the activity of the SPA4 peptide remain intact when pre-incubated in 2 mM sodium lactate solution. The results provide important insights about the stability and structure–activity relationship of the SPA4 peptide.
