Overview

Synthesis of short hybrid peptides shows potent membrane-targeted activity against MDR bacteria, indicating new therapy options.

Key Points

  • P2, P3, P4, and P5 exhibited bactericidal effects against Gram-positive and Gram-negative MDR strains that reduced bacterial viability rapidly.
  • Minimum inhibitory concentrations for effective peptides were as low as 6.25 μM, demonstrating their potency against resistant strains.
  • Peptides synthesized using lipidation and confirmed with NMR and HRMS methods, improving their pharmacokinetic properties.
  • The study suggests that these hybrid peptides could provide effective treatment alternatives for multidrug-resistant infections, balancing efficacy and low toxicity.
