DRGN-1

DRGN-1 is an antimicrobial peptide. DRGN-1 exhibits potent antimicrobial and anti-biofilm activities, inhibiting both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, with an EC50 range of 0.50-4.62 μM. DRGN-1 exerts its antimicrobial effect by disrupting bacterial membrane permeability and slightly depolarizing the membrane potential. DRGN-1 inhibits the formation of biofilms of single bacterial species and mixed species of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus. DRGN-1 can significantly promote the healing of uninfected and mixed biofilm-infected mouse wounds. DRGN-1 can be used for the study of infections[1].
