Synthesis and Antibacterial Activities of Antibacterial Peptides with a Spiropyran Fluorescence Probe

Abstract: In this report, antibacterial peptides1-3 were prepared with a spiropyran fluorescence probe. The probe exhibits a change in fluorescence when isomerized from a colorless spiro-form (spiropyran, Sp) to a colored open-form (merocyanine, Mc) under different chemical environments, which can be used to study the mechanism of antimicrobial activity. Peptides 1-3 exhibit a marked decrease in antimicrobial activity with increasing alkyl chain length. This is likely due to the Sp-Mc isomers in different polar environm… Show more

“…In general, Gram-positive bacteria have a simpler cell wall than Gram-negative bacteria, and the primary constituent is peptidoglycan, a polysaccharide. In contrast, Gram-negative bacteria have an additional outer bilayer membrane composed of lipopolysaccharides and phospholipids [ 27 , 28 ].…”

“…The antimicrobial activity of the greenly synthesized silver nanoparticle was studied on two bacterial strain i.e., Gram negative ( E. coli (MTCC‐443)) and Gram positive ( S. aureus (MTCC‐3381)). The IC 50 values (the minimum concentration that produced 50% inhibition of bacterial growth) for greenly synthesized silver nanoparticle was calculated against a standard drug ( Ampicillin ) of concentration 10–80 μg/ml using nutrient broth.…”
