piscidin-1

Piscidin-1 (22-42) is a highly potent, multifunctional Antimicrobial Peptide (AMP) produced by the Orange-spotted grouper (Epinephelus coioides).

Piscidin-1 (22-42) (TFA) is a highly potent, multi-functional Antimicrobial Peptide (AMP) produced by Orange-spotted grouper (Epinephelus coioides).

TP4 (Nile tilapia piscidin) is an orally active, piscidin-like antimicrobial peptide that inhibits various gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial strains with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) ranging from 0.03 to 10 μg/mL. It demonstrates hemolytic activity and promotes immune response, antioxidant activity, and intestinal health in the presence of bacterial infections. Additionally, TP4 has an anti-tumor effect and induces necrosis in cancer cells by triggering mitochondrial dysfunction [1] [2] [3].

Tilapia piscidin 3, an antimicrobial peptide, exhibits antibacterial properties effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. It has demonstrated minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 2.44 µg/mL for V. vulnificus 204 and V. alginolyticus, 9.78 µg/mL for S. agalactiae 819, 19.55 µg/mL for E. faecalis BCRC 10066, and 0.61 µg/mL for S. agalactiae BCRC 10787. Additionally, it presents hemolytic activity on fish red blood cells [1].
