Description

[0002] Antibiotics have long been used to treat infectious diseases caused by various pathogens. However, due to the overuse of antibiotics, drug-resistant bacteria are increasing, making the development of novel antibacterial drugs to replace antibiotics an urgent priority. Against this backdrop, antimicrobial peptides have attracted widespread attention due to their unique antibacterial mechanism that makes them less likely to induce bacterial resistance.

[0003] Most antimicrobial peptides are amphiphilic cationic peptides. Their positive charge allows them to interact electrostatically with the negatively charged bacterial cell membrane, promoting adsorption and accumulation on the bacterial cell membrane surface. When a certain concentration is reached, the antimicrobial peptides affect the bacterial cell membrane, thereby exerting an antibacterial effect. Antimicrobial peptides are a key component of the innate immune system and are small molecule peptides widely found in various organisms in nature. They exhibit broad inhibitory effects against viruses, drug-resistant bacteria, fungi, parasites, and cancer cells, making them a promising candidate for applications in the pharmaceutical and food additive industries.
