This invention discloses an
antimicrobial peptide, its composition, and its applications, belonging to the field of polypeptide pharmaceuticals. This
antimicrobial peptide, by introducing groups containing fluorinated phenyl, chlorophenyl, and diaminobutyric acid to form an amphiphilic
molecular conformation, possesses advantages such as good
biocompatibility, high stability, low synthesis cost, and low likelihood of inducing
drug resistance. Experiments show that the
minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of this
antimicrobial peptide against various
Gram-negative
bacteria is significantly lower than that of the traditional antibiotic
polymyxin B and the control peptide D65. Furthermore, in a neutropenic mouse infection model, it can significantly reduce bacterial load, demonstrating superior antimicrobial activity. Simultaneously, the antimicrobial peptide exhibits lower
toxicity to human renal proximal tubular epithelial cells compared to the traditional antibiotic
polymyxin B and the control peptide D65. In summary, this antimicrobial peptide holds promise as a replacement for
polymyxin B in the treatment of multidrug-resistant
Gram-negative bacterial infections, and is suitable for the prevention and control of various infections of the
respiratory system,
urinary system, and
skin and soft tissues.
