Abstract:Background: Lipopeptides are potential microbial metabolites that are abandoned with broad spectrum biopharmaceutical properties ranging from antimicrobial, antiviral and anticancer, etc. Clinical studies are not much explored beyond the experimental methods to understand drug mechanisms on target proteins at the molecular level for large molecules. Due to the less available studies on potential target proteins of lipopeptide based drugs, their potential inhibitory role for more obvious treatment on disease ha… Show more
“…Bacillus species are often applied as biocontrol strains owing to their ability to produce a variety of biocontrol agents [ [1] , [2] , [3] , [4] ]. Cyclic lipopeptides of Bacillus , such as surfactin, iturin, and plipastatin (fengycin), have well-known potential in biotechnology and biopharmaceutical applications due to their biosurfactant properties, antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral activities [ [5] , [6] , [7] ]. Structurally, these lipopeptides share a typical cyclic structure comprised of β-amino or β-hydroxy fatty acid integrated into a peptide moiety.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
