LL37 5mg Lyophylized Powder
LL37 5mg
LL-37 has been considered as a potential alternative to conventional antibiotics as it displays broad spectrum antibacterial and anti-biofilm activities as well as immunomodulatory functions.
LL-37 is a crucial human antimicrobial peptide that acts as part of the innate immune system, fighting off bacteria, fungi, and viruses while helping with wound healing and inflammation.
Immune and Biological Functions
- Pathogen defense: Destroys microbe cell membranes directly through physical disruption and lysis.
- Immunomodulation: Recruits immune cells like neutrophils and T cells to sites of infection or injury.
- Tissue repair: Promotes re-epithelialization and closure in skin wounds.
- Autoimmunity: Abnormal regulation or overexpression is linked to inflammatory and autoimmune conditions like psoriasis and lupus.
- Therapeutic research: Studied for potential use against drug-resistant bacterial strains and chronic non-healing ulcers.
Antimicrobial peptides are structured with the potential to fight against bacteria, fungi, and some virus strains. These peptides may interact with targets in a non-specific fashion, which supports researchers' belief that once the peptide is introduced, pathogens are unable to develop resistance against these peptides.
LL 37 is an antimicrobial peptide derivative of human cathelicidin. Induces FPRL1-mediated chemotaxis of human neutrophils, monocytes and T cells in vitro. Promotes wound healing following skin-targeted electroporation of a plasmid encoding hCAP-18/LL-37 in mice. LL 37 reduces SARS-CoV-2 infection by blocking the receptor binding domain of the S1 spike protein (Kd = 11.2 nM) and by binding to ACE2 (Kd = 25.5.nM). LL 37 inhibits SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirion infection (IC50= 4.74 μg/mL) in vitro and in vivo. Also triggers apoptosis in colon cancer cells. Cell permeable.
