Combination Effects of Antimicrobial Peptides
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are ancient and conserved across the tree of life. Their efficacy over evolutionary time has been largely attributed to their mechanisms of killing. Yet, the understanding of their pharmacodynamics both in vivo and in vitro is very limited. This is, however, crucial for applications of AMPs as drugs and also informs the understanding of the action of AMPs in natura...
متن کاملAntimicrobial Peptides and Their Analogs: Searching for New Potential Therapeutics
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are an essential part of innate immunity. These compounds have been considered as potential therapeutics because of their broad-spectrum activities and proven ability to avoid antimicrobial resistance, but their clinical and commercial developments have some limitations, such as susceptibility to proteases and a high cost of peptide production. To overcome these pr...
متن کاملBioactive Antimicrobial Peptides as Therapeutics for Corneal Wounds and Infections
Significance: More than 2 million eye injuries and infections occur each year in the United States that leave civilians and military members with reduced or complete vision loss due to the lack of effective therapeutics. Severe ocular injuries and infections occur in varied settings including the home, workplace, and battlefields. In this review, we discuss the potential of developing antimicro...
متن کاملMechanism of Anticancer Effects of Antimicrobial Peptides
Antimicrobial Peptides (AMPs) were first known as a group of innate immune products that mainly targets on the invading pathogens among multiple species. The essential mechanisms of action of AMPs toward microbial cells have been reported as electrostatic attraction and hydrophobic interaction between AMPs (cationic AMPs) and microbial cell membranes. These effects also contribute to the potent...
متن کاملEffects of antimicrobial peptides on methanogenic archaea.
As members of the indigenous human microbiota found on several mucosal tissues, Methanobrevibacter smithii and Methanosphaera stadtmanae are exposed to the effects of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) secreted by these epithelia. Although antimicrobial and molecular effects of AMPs on bacteria are well described, data for archaea are not available yet. Besides, it is not clear whether AMPs affect t...
