Gramicidin‐S‐Inspired Cyclopeptidomimetics as Potent Membrane‐Active Bactericidal Agents with Therapeutic Potential
Résumé
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are promising antibacterial agents often hindered by their undesired hemolytic activity. Inspired by gramicidin S (GS), a well-known cyclodecapeptide, we synthesized a panel of antibacterial cyclopeptidomimetics using β,γ-diamino acids (β,γ-DiAAs). We observed that peptidomimetic CP-2 displays a bactericidal activity similar to that of GS while possessing lower side-effects. Moreover, extensive studies revealed that CP-2 likely kills bacteria through membrane disruption. Altogether, CP-2 is a promising membrane-active antibiotic with therapeutic potential
