Biological and structural properties of COLINPOWELL , a synthetic peptide amide
A peptide was designed so that the one letter abbreviations for its amino acid sequence corresponded to the joined first and last names of the current United States Secretary of State, Colin Powell. Peptide COLINPOWELL (i.e., Cys-Orn-Leu-Ile-AsnPro-Orn-Trp-Glu-Leu-Leu) was synthesized as a C-terminal amide, and found to be inactive against bacteria [methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (...
متن کاملNatural Proline-Rich Cyclopolypeptides from Marine Organisms: Chemistry, Synthetic Methodologies and Biological Status
Peptides have gained increased interest as therapeutics during recent years. More than 60 peptide drugs have reached the market for the benefit of patients and several hundreds of novel therapeutic peptides are in preclinical and clinical development. The key contributor to this success is the potent and specific, yet safe, mode of action of peptides. Among the wide range of biologically-active...
متن کاملEffect of Amino Acid Substitutions on Biological Activity of Antimicrobial Peptide: Design, Recombinant Production, and Biological Activity
Recently, antimicrobial peptides have been introduced as potent antibiotics with a wide rangeof antimicrobial activities. They have also exhibited other biological activities, including antiinflammatory,growth stimulating, and anti-cancer activities. In this study, an analog of MagaininII was designed and produced as a recombinant fusion protein. The designed sequence containe...

متن کاملSpecific activities of dolastatin 10 and peptide derivatives against Cryptococcus neoformans.
The biosynthetic peptide dolastatin 10 is currently in phase I and II cancer clinical trials. We evaluated the antifungal spectrum of dolastatin 10 and four structural modifications. In broth macrodilution assays, the peptides were fungicidal for American Type Culture Collection strains and clinical isolates (including fluconazole-resistant strains) of Cryptococcus neoformans but no other yeast...
