Synthetic magainin analogues with improved antimicrobial activity.

FEBS Lett. 236 , 462, (1988)

Based on modifications to enhance the alpha-helical structure of the broad spectrum antibiotic magainin 2, a series of analogues have been synthesized which display an increase up to two orders of magnitude in antimicrobial activity and, in the most favorable...

Lycotoxins, antimicrobial peptides from venom of the wolf spider Lycosa carolinensis.

J. Biol. Chem. 273(4) , 2059-66, (1998)

Two peptide toxins with antimicrobial activity, lycotoxins I and II, were identified from venom of the wolf spider Lycosa carolinensis (Araneae: Lycosidae) by virtue of their abilities to reduce ion and voltage gradients across membranes. Both peptides were p...

Magainin analogs effective against pathogenic protozoa.

Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. 34(9) , 1824-6, (1990)

The in vitro activities of magainin analogs against Blastocystis hominis, Entamoeba histolytica, and Trypanosoma cruzi were assessed by protozoan morphological integrity and motility. The antiprotozoan activities in descending order were magainin B greater th...
