As the frequent emergence of the resistant bacteria, the development of new agents with a new action mode attracts a great deal of interest. It is now widely accepted that antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are promising alternatives to conventional antibiotics. In this study, antimicrobial peptide polybia-MPI and its analogs were synthesized and their antibacterial activity was studied. Our results revealed...
Antimicrobial peptide polybia-CP was purified from the venom of the social wasp Polybia paulista. It has an amphipathic sequence ILGTILGLLKSL-NH 2 and possesses potent antimicrobial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. In this study we synthesized polybia-CP, studied its cytotoxity on tumor cells and proposed its possible mechanism. Our results revealed that polybia-CP...
Transportan 10 (TP10) is an amphipathic cell-penetrating peptide with high translocation ability. In order to obtain more details of structure–activity relationship of TP10, we evaluated the effects of structure and charge on its translocation ability. Our results demonstrated that disrupting the helical structure or Arg substitution could remarkably decrease the cellular uptake of TP10. However,...
