Antimicrobial activity of rationally designed amino terminal modified peptides
摘要:
Series of short amino terminal modified cationic peptides were designed and synthesized. All of the synthesized compounds were tested against gram-positive as well as gram-negative bacterial strain. Some of the compounds exhibit potent antibacterial activity and no hemolytic activity even at high dose level (1000 mu g/mL) in mammalian erythrocytes was observed. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd.

novel antimicrobialagents are urgently required to address this issue. In this report, we describe the solid phase synthesis, characterization, microbiological and toxicological evaluation of a library of ultrashortcationicantimicrobiallipopeptidesbased on the previously described tetrapeptide amide H‐Orn‐Orn‐Trp‐Trp‐NH2 conjugated with saturated fatty acids which have inherent antimicrobial activity
