Resumo

Non-natural amino acids can be incorporated into synthetic host defense peptides (HDPs) to modulate their susceptibility to proteolytic degradation. However, the impact of non-natural amino acids on the antibiofilm and immunomodulatory activities of synthetic HDPs remains unclear. Using SPOT-synthesized peptide arrays, non-natural cationic amino acids of varying side chain lengths were incorporated into a synthetic HDP, IDR-1018, and the impact of these substitutions on the antibiofilm activity toward methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus biofilms was assessed. Multiply-substituted derivatives were designed that incorporated favorable non-natural cationic amino acid moieties throughout IDR-1018. The antibiofilm and immunomodulatory activities of these derivatives were assessed in vitro, revealing that the incorporation of non-natural amino acids modulated (either positively or negatively) these activities of IDR-1018. Furthermore, the tryptic stability of the IDR-1018 derivatives was assessed revealing that proteolytic stability was favored for shorter cationic side chains and was influenced by the primary peptide sequence.
