Abstract | The increasingly severe bacterial resistance worldwide pushes people to discover and design potential antibacterial drugs unavoidably. In this work, a series of short, mirror-symmetric peptides were designed and successfully synthesized, centered on RRR and labeled with hydrophobic amino acids at both ends. Based on the structure-activity relationship analysis, LWWR (LWWRRRWWL-NH 2 ) was screened as a desirable mirror-symmetric peptide for further study. As expected, LWWR displayed broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against the standard bacteria and antibiotic-resistant strains. Undoubtedly, the high stability of LWWR in a complex physiological environment was an essential guarantee to maximizing its antibacterial activity. Indeed, LWWR also exhibited a rapid bactericidal speed and a low tendency to develop bacterial resistance, based on the multiple actions of non-receptor-mediated membrane actions and intra-cellular mechanisms. Surprisingly, although LWWR showed similar in vivo antibacterial activity compared with Polymyxin B and Melittin, the in vivo safety of LWWR was far higher than that of them, so LWWR had better therapeutic potential. In summary, the desirable mirror-symmetric peptide LWWR was promised as a potential antibacterial agent to confront the antibiotics resistance crisis. |
