- W1966582094 abstract "The frog skin peptides, ascaphin‐8 (GFKDLLKGAAKALVKTVLF.NH 2 ) and XT‐7 (GLLGPLLKIAAKVGSNLL.NH 2 ), show broad‐spectrum antimicrobial activity but their therapeutic potential is limited by toxicity against mammalian cells. Circular dichroism spectra demonstrate that the peptides adopt an amphipathic α‐helical conformation in a membrane‐mimetic solvent. This study has investigated the cytolytic properties of analogs containing selected amino acid substitutions that increase cationicity while maintaining amphipathicity. Substitutions at Ala 10 , Val 14 , and Leu 18 in ascaphin‐8 by either l ‐Lys or d ‐Lys produced peptides that retained antimicrobial activity against the bacteria Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus and the opportunistic yeast pathogen, Candida albicans but showed appreciably reduced toxicities (>10‐fold) against human erythrocytes, HepG2 hepatoma‐derived cells, and L929 fibroblasts. The improved therapeutic index of the l ‐Lys 18 and d ‐Lys 18 analogs correlated with a decrease in % helicity and in effective hydrophobicity. Substitution of Gly 4 by l ‐Lys in XT‐7 produced an analog with high potency against micro‐organisms (MIC ≤ 25 μ m ) but low cytolytic activity against erythrocytes (LD 50 > 500 μ m ) and this increase in therapeutic index also correlated with decreased helicity and hydrophobicity. Analogs of XT‐7 with increased cationicity, containing multiple substitutions by l ‐Lys, not only displayed increased antimicrobial potencies, particularly against Candida albicans (MIC ≤ 6 μ m ), but also increased hemolytic activities." @default.
