Lysine-enriched analogs of the cecropin-mellitin hybrid peptide, CA(1-7) M(2-9) (designated CM15), designed with optimized amphipathicity, retained antimicrobial activities similar to that of wild-type CM15 and had substantially reduced levels of hemolytic activity and cytotoxicity toward cultured macrophages, resulting in enhanced selectivity. These lysine-enriched analogs provide templates for improved CM15 peptide or peptidomimetic antibiotics.
富含赖氨酸的天蚕素-蜂毒素杂合肽CA(1-7)M(2-9)(命名为CM15)的类似物,通过优化两亲性设计而成,保留了与野生型CM15相似的抗菌活性,并且对培养的巨噬细胞的溶血活性和细胞毒性水平大幅降低,从而提高了选择性。这些富含赖氨酸的类似物为改进CM15肽或拟肽抗生素提供了模板。
