Temporin-SHa

Temporin-Sha is an antimicrobial peptide known for its broad-spectrum biological activity. It is effective against Gram-positive bacteria (such as Listeria, MIC= 6.25 μM), Gram-negative bacteria (such as Escherichia coli, MIC= 10 μM), and resistant strains like Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Additionally, Temporin-Sha inhibits Candida albicans (MIC= 25 μM), Saccharomyces cerevisiae (MIC= 12 μM), Leishmania promastigotes and amastigotes (IC50= 9-20 μM), and Trypanosomes (IC50= 17 μM) . It also exhibits antiviral activity against HSV-1 and shows anticancer properties, displaying cytotoxicity towards breast cancer cells MCF-7 and lung cancer cells H460.
