Enhancement of antibacterial and lipopolysaccharide binding activities of a human lactoferrin peptide fragment by the addition of acyl chain

Cationic antibacterial peptides are potentially therapeutic in the treatment of sepsis, because of their amalgamated antibacterial and lipopolysaccharide-binding activities. We prepared acyl analogues of the peptide fragment of human lactoferrin, which originally had weak antibacterial activity. It...
