| Description |
HLF1-11, a human lactoferrin-derived peptide, is a broad spectrum antimicrobial agent. HLF1-11 inhibits human MPO activity. HLF1-11 also directs GM-CSF-driven monocyte differentiation toward macrophages, and enhances immune responses[1][2].

| In Vitro |
hLF1-11 (1, 10, and 100 μg/mL) directs differentiation of monocytes toward a macrophage subset during granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF)-driven monocytes differentiation[2]. hLF1-11 (0.5-250 μg/mL) inhibits human MPO activity[3]. hLF1-11 (100 μg/mL, 90 min) inhibits ROS induction induced by LPS in monocytes[3]. hLF1-11 (8-34 μΜ, 2 h) is active against fluconazole-resistant C. albicans[5].

| In Vivo |
hLF1-11 (20 mg/kg, injected into the debrided tibial cavity) shows ability against MRSA osteomyelitis in rabbits[4]. hLF1-11 (40 μg/kg, i.v.) is active against C. albicans-infected mice[6]. Animal Model: Rabbits inoculated with CFU MRSA[4] Dosage: 20 mg/kg Administration: Injected into the debrided tibial cavity Result: Reduced bacterial load compared to controls, and reduced the radiological and histopathological score. Animal Model: Neutropenic mice challenged i.v. with C. albicans Dosage: 40 μg/kg Administration: Intravenous injection (i.v) Result: Reduced serum TNFα and IL-6 in infected mice.
