Family of small cationic antimicrobial peptides that form first line of innate immune defense.
Disrupt microbial membranes via electrostatic interaction and pore formation, neutralize toxins and viruses, modulate immune cell recruitment (chemotactic), induce cytokine production, promote wound healing.
* Dosing should be individualized. Always consult with a qualified healthcare practitioner.
Extensive preclinical research, limited clinical trials
Well-characterized as key innate immune effectors. Strong in vitro antimicrobial activity. Clinical translation limited but promising for topical wound care and mucosal protection. Therapeutic development ongoing.
Broad class of innate immune peptides with antimicrobial, immunomodulatory, and wound-healing properties representing next-generation anti-infectives.
Multifunctional iron-binding glycoprotein with antimicrobial, immunomodulatory, and anti-inflammatory properties.
Tripeptide with potent anti-inflammatory properties derived from alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone.
