Abstract: |
Peptide-based compounds containing multiple proline residues are useful as preservatives and in preventing, treating, or ameliorating microbial infection, especially Gram-negative bacterial infection in animals and plants, in treating conditions characterized by the presence of LPS. These compounds are of the formula [Figure] including the N-terminal acylated and/or C-terminal amidated or esterified forms thereof
- wherein each of A1, A5, A10, A14 and A20 is independently Ala, Gly or Ser;
- each of A2, A4, A7, A9, A11, A12, A13, A16, A17, A19 and A22 is independently a hydrophobic amino acid selected from the group consisting of Ile, Leu, Val, Phe and Met;
- each of A3 and A8 is independently a neutral polar amino acid selected from Asn and Gln or is a hydrophobic amino acid selected from the group consisting of Ile, Leu, Val, Phe and Met;
- each of A6, A18 and A21 is independently a basic amino acid selected from Arg, Lys, and Har; and
- wherein A15 is Trp or a basic amino acid selected from Lys, Arg and Har;
- wherein n is an integer of 1-6; and
- the antimicrobial or LPS-binding fragments thereof. Recombinant materials for the production of these peptides are also disclosed.
