Albumin Binding of Short Cationic Antimicrobial Micropeptides and Its Influence on the in Vitro Bactericidal Effect
摘要:
The interactions between a range of small cationic antibacterial tripeptides and bovine and human serum albumin in a buffered aqueous solution at 25 degrees C have been studied using isothermal titration calorimetry. Results from the binding study indicate a single binding site on albumin with a dissociation constant between 4.3 and 22.2 mu M for the different peptides. In a theoretical mouse model, a dissociation constant in this range corresponds to 95% albumin binding. The effect of this albumin interaction on the antibacterial capacity of the peptides against Staphylococcus aureus, strain ATCC 25923 was studied by including albumin in the assays at a 0.55 mM concentration. Presence of albumin induced a 10-fold increase of the minimal inhibitory concentration for the bulk of the peptides. Albumin itself has no effect on the bacterial growth and this increase is entirely ascribed to a strong competing protein binding. Collectively these results indicate that these antibacterial peptides do bind to albumin and that this binding strongly reduces the effective concentration of peptides available to combat bacteria.

Naturally occurring antimicrobial peptides contain a large number of amino acid residues, which limits their clinical applicability. In search of short antimicrobial peptides, which represent a possible alternative for lead structures to fight antibiotic resistant microbial infections, a series of synthetic peptide analogues based oil Trp-His and His-Arg structural frameworks have been prepared and found to be active against several Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacterial strains as well as against a fungal strain with MIC values of the most potent Structures in the range of 5-20 mu g/mL ((IC50 in the range of 1-5 mu g/mL). The synthesized peptides showed no cytotoxic effect in an MTT assay up to the highest test concentration of 200 mu g/mL. A combination of small size, presence of unnatural amino acids, high antimicrobial activity, and absence of cytotoxicity reveals the synthesized Trp-His and His-Arg analogues as promising candidates for novel antimicrobial therapeutics.
