Abstract

Nowadays, it is very important to produce new-generation drugs with antimicrobial properties that will target biofilm-induced infections. The first target for combating these microorganisms, which are the source itself. Antimicrobial peptides, which are more effective than antibiotics due to their ability to kill microorganisms and use a different metabolic pathway, are among the new options today. The aim of this study is to develop new-generation antibiotics that inhibit both biofilm-producing bacteria and the biofilm itself. For this purpose, we designed four different peptides by combining two amino acid forms (D- and L-) with the same sequence having alpha helix structures. It was found that the combined use of these two forms can increase antimicrobial efficacy more than 30-fold. These results are supported by molecular modeling and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), at the same time cytotoxicity (IC) and hemotoxicity (HC) values remained within the safe range. Furthermore, antibiofilm activities of these peptides were investigated. Since the existing biofilm inhibition methods in the literature do not technically simulate the exact situation, in this study, we have developed a real-time observable biofilm model and a new detection method based on it, which we call the CoMIC method. Findings have shown that the NET1 peptide with D-leucine amino acid in its structure and the NET3 peptide with D-arginine amino acid in its structure are effective in inhibiting biofilm. As a conclusion, our peptides can be considered as potential next-generation broad-spectrum antibiotic molecule/drug candidates that might be used in biofilm and clinical important bacteria. KEY POINTS: • Antimicrobial peptides were developed to inhibit both biofilms producing bacteria and the biofilm itself. • CoMIC will fill a very crucial gap in understanding biofilms and conducting the necessary quantitative studies. • Molecular modelling studies, NET1 peptide molecules tends to move towards and adhere to the membrane within nanoseconds.

摘要

如今,生产具有抗微生物特性的新一代药物以对抗生物膜引起的感染非常重要。对抗这些作为感染源本身的微生物的首要目标。抗菌肽因其杀死微生物的能力以及使用不同的代谢途径而比抗生素更有效,是当今的新选择之一。本研究的目的是开发既能抑制产生物膜细菌又能抑制生物膜本身的新一代抗生素。为此,我们通过将具有α螺旋结构的相同序列的两种氨基酸形式(D型和L型)组合设计了四种不同的肽。发现这两种形式的联合使用可使抗菌功效提高30倍以上。分子建模和扫描电子显微镜(SEM)支持了这些结果,同时细胞毒性(IC)和血液毒性(HC)值保持在安全范围内。此外,还研究了这些肽的抗生物膜活性。由于文献中现有的生物膜抑制方法在技术上不能准确模拟实际情况,在本研究中,我们开发了一种实时可观察的生物膜模型以及基于此的新检测方法,我们称之为CoMIC方法。研究结果表明,结构中含有D-亮氨酸的NET1肽和结构中含有D-精氨酸的NET3肽对抑制生物膜有效。总之,我们的肽可被视为潜在的下一代广谱抗生素分子/药物候选物,可用于生物膜和临床重要细菌。要点:• 开发抗菌肽以抑制产生物膜细菌和生物膜本身。• CoMIC将在理解生物膜和进行必要的定量研究方面填补一个非常关键的空白。• 分子建模研究表明,NET1肽分子倾向于在纳秒内朝向并附着于膜。
