Comparison of Antimicrobial Properties and Toxicity of Natural S3 Peptide with Horseshoe Crab Amoebocyte Origin and its Mutants
Introduction: Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are compounds with antimicrobial properties that are studied widely due to the development of resistance of pathogenic bacteria to antibiotics. In the present study, the toxicity and antimicrobial effects of two natural monomeric peptides (S3 and S∆3) were compared with S3-S∆3 hybrids and S3 tetramers. Material & Methods: Protein hybrids (S∆3S3-2mer-G...
متن کاملAntimicrobial preservative effectiveness of natural peptide antibiotics.
The constantly growing resistance of microbes to drugs and other substances which fight microbial infections leads to search for new antimicrobial substances. Among substances which attract the scientists attention are antimicrobial peptides. Such compounds are quite common in nature and belong to the most important elements of the innate immune system of all living organisms. Numerous antimicr...
متن کاملLL37, a human antimicrobial peptide with immunomodulatory properties
Cationic antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) represent the first line of defense against many invading pathogens. These small amphipathic peptides are part of the innate immune system and have a broad-spectrum activity against bacteria, fungi and viruses. In mammals, at least two distinct groups of AMPs are found. Defensins are the more representatives and cathelicidins form the second group. The hCA...
متن کاملA synthetic alternative to natural lecithins with antimicrobial properties.
Two soft biocompatible cationic surfactants from the amino acid arginine, 1,2-dilauroyl-3-acetylarginyl-rac-glycerol (1212RAc) and 1,2-dimirystoyl-3-acetylarginyl-rac-glycerol (1414RAc), were prepared. Their physicochemical properties show that they can be classified as multifunctional surfactants with self-aggregation behaviour comparable to that of short-chain lecithins. The two surfactants c...
متن کاملAntimicrobial properties of natural honey: a review of literature
Health benefits of honey have been reported in a variety of conditions including microbial infections, wound healing, inflammation, glucose tolerance and analgesia. Honey is a supersaturated sugar solution mainly comprised of D-fructose, D-glucose, sucrose, maltose and higher sugars (~80% of solid mass). While other natural products i.e. alkaloids, flavonoids/isoflavones, glycosides, phenolics,...
