Patents
The present invention relates to three single tryptophan analogs ILPWKLPLLPLRR-amide (IL4) (SEQ ID NO: 1), ILPLKLPWLPLRR-amide (IL8) (SEQ ID NO: 2) and ILPLKLPLLPWRR-amide (IL11) (SEQ ID NO: 3), of Indolicidin, a cationic tridecapeptide amide found in the granules of bovine neutrophils. The analogs possess amino acid only at the 4th, 8th or 11th position from the N-terminal, with leucine at its all other conventional positions.The analogs selectively having only anti-microbial activity and no hemolytic activity of Indolicidin, and thereby providing therapeutic options and a method thereof.
