Antimicrobial Dendrimeric Peptides: Structure, Activity and New Therapeutic Applications
Microbial resistance to conventional antibiotics is one of the most outstanding medical and scientific challenges of our times. Despite the recognised need for new anti-infective agents, however, very few new drugs have been brought to the market and to the clinic in the last three decades. This review highlights the properties of a new class of antibiotics, namely dendrimeric peptides. These i...
متن کاملAntimicrobial activity of novel dendrimeric peptides obtained by phage display selection and rational modification.
A large 10-mer phage peptide library was panned against whole Escherichia coli cells, and an antimicrobial peptide (QEKIRVRLSA) was selected. The peptide was synthesized in monomeric and dendrimeric tetrabranched form (multiple antigen peptide [MAP]), which generally allows a dramatic increase of peptide stability to peptidases and proteases. The antibacterial activity of the dendrimeric peptid...
متن کاملAntimicrobial Peptides Derived from Milk: A Review
Milk proteins provide a natural source of bioactive peptides with potential health benefits and applications in the food industry. The release of these peptides from milk proteins is achieved either by hydrolysis using digestive proteases or by lactic acid bacteria fermentation. Peptides, particularly those derived from milk proteins, can exert a wide range of nutritional, functional and biolog...
متن کاملantimicrobial peptides (amps)
antimicrobial peptides (amps) are extensive group of molecules that produced by variety tissues of invertebrate, plants, and animal species which play an important role in their immunity response. amps have different classifications such as; biosynthetic machines, biological sources, biological functions, molecular properties, covalent bonding patterns, three dimensional structures, and molecul...
متن کاملAntimicrobial Peptides
The rapid increase in drug-resistant infections has presented a serious challenge to antimicrobial therapies. The failure of the most potent antibiotics to kill "superbugs" emphasizes the urgent need to develop other control agents. Here we review the history and new development of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), a growing class of natural and synthetic peptides with a wide spectrum of targets i...
