In the previous report, the authors showed the gold nanoparticle (GNP) functionalised multiple -methylated fragments of the residue (32-37) of beta ()-amyloid protein (1-42), CGGIGLMVG and CGGGGGIGLMVG toward disruption of -amyloid (1-42), the predominant component of senile plaques. Herein the in vitro antimicrobial activities of both normal and multiple -methylated sequences of CGGIGLMVG and CGGGGGIGLMVG were screened and it was found that all the eight sequences including four (non-functionalised with GNP) to possess activity against both Gram-positive [ (ATCC 43300) and Enterococcus faecalis (ATCC 5129)] and Gram-negative [Escherichia coli (ATCC 35218), (ATCC 27853) and (ATCC 700603)] bacteria. Among them, -methylated sequences CGGIGLMVG and CGGGGGIGLMVG shown remarkable activity against Gram-positive bacteria.
在之前的报告中,作者展示了用金纳米颗粒(GNP)功能化的β-淀粉样蛋白(1-42)残基(32-37)的多个甲基化片段,即CGGIGLMVG和CGGGGGIGLMVG,它们可破坏老年斑的主要成分β-淀粉样蛋白(1-42)。在此,对CGGIGLMVG和CGGGGGIGLMVG的正常序列和多个甲基化序列的体外抗菌活性进行了筛选,发现所有八个序列,包括四个(未用GNP功能化),对革兰氏阳性菌[金黄色葡萄球菌(ATCC 43300)和粪肠球菌(ATCC 5129)]和革兰氏阴性菌[大肠杆菌(ATCC 35218)、铜绿假单胞菌(ATCC 27853)和鲍曼不动杆菌(ATCC 700603)]均具有活性。其中,甲基化序列CGGIGLMVG和CGGGGGIGLMVG对革兰氏阳性菌表现出显著活性。
