Design and synthesis of novel antibacterial peptide-resin conjugates

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2007 Nov 1;17(21):5772-6. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2007.08.056. Epub 2007 Aug 28.

Abstract

We synthesized a novel peptide-resin conjugate by immobilizing beta-sheet antibacterial peptide on PEG-PS resin. The peptide-resin conjugate, similar to cationic antimicrobial peptides, demonstrated unique properties such as potent antibacterial activity, no hemolytic activity, lipid membrane perturbation activity, and potent synergism with vancomycin. Specially, the peptide-resin conjugate showed a more increased lipid membrane perturbation activity in comparison to unbound beta-sheet antibacterial peptide.
