Cecropin A CAS NO.80451-04-3

Cecropin A is a highly purified cationic antimicrobial peptide (AMP) originally isolated from the hemolymph of the giant silk moth, consisting of 37 amino acid residues that form a distinctive amphipathic alpha-helical structure upon membrane interaction. Supplied as a lyophilized white powder, this research-grade peptide is a critical tool for scientists studying host defense mechanisms, membrane biology, and novel antimicrobial strategies against drug-resistant pathogens. Its well-characterized sequence and potent biological activities make it an essential reference standard for pharmaceutical R&D, microbiology laboratories, and academic institutions focused on infectious disease research, biotechnology development, and the exploration of peptide-based therapeutics for both human and veterinary applications.

1.MECHANISM OF ACTION

Cecropin A exerts its primary biological effects through a unique membrane-disruption mechanism that begins with electrostatic attraction to the negatively charged phospholipids prevalent in bacterial cell membranes, such as lipopolysaccharides in Gram-negative bacteria and teichoic acids in Gram-positive species. Upon binding to the membrane surface, the peptide undergoes a conformational change from a random coil in aqueous solution to an ordered alpha-helix, inserting its hydrophobic regions into the lipid bilayer while maintaining hydrophilic contacts with the aqueous environment. At sufficient concentrations, these inserted peptides aggregate to form either toroidal pores or a continuous "carpet-like" layer that destabilizes the membrane integrity, leading to increased permeability, loss of the proton-motive force, uncontrolled ion flux, and eventual osmotic lysis of the target cell. This physical mode of action, which differs fundamentally from traditional antibiotics that target specific enzymes or metabolic pathways, allows Cecropin A to rapidly kill microbes while presenting a significantly higher barrier to the development of microbial resistance.

2.PRODUCT INDICATIONS

This product is specifically indicated for laboratory research, preclinical studies, and quality control applications within pharmaceutical, biotechnological, and academic settings focused on antimicrobial discovery and membrane biology. It serves as a primary reference peptide for determining minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) against a wide panel of bacterial pathogens, including ESKAPE organisms and multidrug-resistant clinical isolates, using standardized assays such as broth microdilution and radial diffusion methods. Researchers utilize Cecropin A to investigate the structure-activity relationships of amphipathic peptides, to study the biophysical interactions between cationic peptides and lipid bilayers using techniques like NMR and fluorescence spectroscopy, and to evaluate its potential as a lead compound or synergistic agent in combination therapies with conventional antibiotics. Additionally, it is indicated for cell-based assays examining its cytotoxic effects on various cancer cell lines, anti-biofilm evaluations, and immunomodulatory studies assessing its impact on cytokine expression in macrophage models, making it indispensable for teams developing next-generation anti-infective agents.

3.CLINICAL EFFICACY OF PRODUCT

While Cecropin A is currently designated strictly for research use and has not received regulatory approval as a clinical therapeutic agent, extensive in vitro and animal model studies have established its remarkable efficacy across multiple domains of infectious disease and oncology research. Laboratory evaluations consistently demonstrate potent bactericidal activity against a broad spectrum of clinically relevant pathogens, including Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Staphylococcus aureus, with minimum inhibitory concentrations frequently ranging from 1 to 3 μM depending on the specific strain and assay conditions. In murine models of infection and inflammation, Cecropin A administration has shown significant efficacy in reducing bacterial loads, improving survival rates in sepsis models, and alleviating disease severity in dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis by downregulating pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 while restoring gut barrier function. Furthermore, in vitro cancer research indicates that Cecropin A effectively induces apoptosis in various human cancer cell lines, including promyelocytic leukemia (HL-60), breast adenocarcinoma, and hepatocellular carcinoma cells, through mitochondrial membrane disruption and reactive oxygen species generation, providing a robust preclinical foundation for its continued investigation as a multifunctional lead peptide in drug discovery pipelines.
