Cecropin B (CAS NO.80451-05-4) is a high-purity antimicrobial peptide (AMP) renowned for its potent bactericidal activity and unique membrane-disruption mechanism. Specifically designed for laboratory research and preclinical studies, this cationic peptide targets the fundamental integrity of microbial envelopes, providing a robust tool for scientists investigating multidrug-resistant pathogens and membrane biology.
Engineered to bypass classical microbial resistance, Cecropin B exerts its effects through electrostatic attraction to negatively charged phospholipids, forming toroidal pores that lead to osmotic lysis. Its broad-spectrum efficacy against Gram-negative bacteria, combined with observed anticancer and immunomodulatory properties, makes it an indispensable reference compound in the development of next-generation synergistic antimicrobial therapies.

Cecropin B uses a membrane-disruption mechanism. It is electrostatically attracted to negatively charged microbial membranes, where it forms an alpha-helix structure and creates pores, leading to osmotic lysis of the target cell.
No, Cecropin B is strictly designated for laboratory research, preclinical studies, and quality control applications within academic and pharmaceutical settings.
It should be stored at -20°C in a dry, dark, and well-sealed container. It is critical to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles to preserve the peptide's biological activity.
It shows potent activity against a broad spectrum of pathogens, particularly Gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Acinetobacter baumannii.
Our production partners employ GMP-compliant systems. Each shipment includes a Certificate of Analysis (COA), HPLC purity report, and mass spectrometry (MS) chromatograms.
Yes, preclinical studies have demonstrated that Cecropin B can act as a synergistic agent when combined with conventional antibiotics, such as beta-lactams, to reduce mortality in sepsis models.
