The increase in super-resistant bacteria to traditional antibiotics is a common problem nowadays mainly due to the abusive use of these drugs. Nearly 20 years ago a new class of molecules, the antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), was found to have potent microbicidal properties. The AMPs have a non-specific, fast and lethal mechanism of action against microorganisms, causing cell death by disru…
Labaditin is a cyclic decapeptide found in the latex of Jatropha multifida, Euphorbiaceae family. Some characteristics shown by this class of biomolecules are a head-tail cyclization and high hydrophobic aminoacid proportion, which favors the affinity with biological membranes. Studies demonstrated that Labaditina has inhibitory power over the activation of the classic path of the human c…
The increasing number of antibiotic-resistant bacteria calls for the development of new drugs. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have a fast and lethal mechanism of action against microorganisms. AMPs' toxicity to human cells is small because they are attracted to the bacterial surface due to electrostatic interactions. A class of cationic peptides known as "innate defence regulator (IDR)" sh…
