A series of cationic cyclic heptapeptides based on polymyxin B have been synthesized for use as permeabilizers of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. Only analogs with the Dab(2)-d-Phe(3)-Leu(4)-Xxx(5) sequence (Xxx = Dab or Orn) showed a synergistic bactericidal effect when combined with conventional antibiotics, indicating that the Dab(2) residue plays a critical role in permeation of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria.
已经合成了一系列基于多粘菌素 B 的阳离子环状七肽,用作革兰氏阴性菌外膜的通透剂。只有具有 Dab(2)-d-Phe(3)-Leu(4)-Xxx(5)序列(Xxx = Dab 或 Orn)的类似物与常规抗生素联合使用时表现出协同杀菌作用,这表明 Dab(2)残基在外膜渗透中起着关键作用革兰氏阴性菌。
