Description

Antibacterial composition comprising peptide scolopendrasin-12 isolated from Scolopendra subspinipes mutilans}

The present invention is a king centipede ( Scolopendra subspinipes mutilans ) It relates to an antibacterial or antifungal composition containing the derived peptide scolopendracin-12.

Infection with pathogenic microorganisms is one of the most common and fatal causes of human disease. Unfortunately, due to the overuse of antibiotics, resistance of pathogenic microorganisms to antibiotics has been caused. In fact, the rate at which pathogenic microorganisms develop resistance to new antibiotics is much faster than the rate at which analogues of new antibiotics are developed. For example, Enterococcus faecalis , which can pose a threat to life, Mycobacterium tuberculosis , Pseudomonas aruginosa ( Pseudomonas ) aeruginosa ) have developed resistance to all known antibiotics.

Tolerance to antibiotics is a phenomenon distinct from resistance to antibiotics, which was first discovered in Pneumococcus sp. in the 1970s and provided important clues to the mechanism of action of penicillin. Resistant species stop growing in the presence of normal concentrations of antibiotics, but do not die as a result. This resistance occurs because when antibiotics inhibit cell wall synthase, the activity of bacterial autolytic enzymes such as autolysin does not occur. By activating, it kills bacteria, and bacteria also suppress their activity, resulting in survival even when treated with antibiotics.

It is very important clinically that pathogenic microorganisms have resistance to antibiotics, because if it is impossible to eradicate resistant microorganisms, the effectiveness of antibiotic treatment in clinical infections is reduced. In addition, development of resistance is considered a prerequisite for development of resistance to antibiotics, as it results in strains that survive antibiotic treatment. These strains acquire new genetic elements that are resistant to antibiotics and continue to grow in the presence of antibiotics. Since virtually all pathogenic microorganisms showing resistance are known to have resistance, the development of novel antibiotics capable of killing pathogenic microorganisms having such antibiotic resistance is urgent.

As described above, it is necessary to develop new antibiotics to prevent damage caused by pathogenic microorganisms that are resistant to antibiotics, and also to develop new antibiotics that act independently of autolysin activity. In addition, it is necessary to provide a pharmaceutical composition for effectively treating infections of pathogenic microorganisms with such new antibiotics.

On the other hand, some of the substances that play an important role in the process for maintaining the homeostasis of living organisms are physiologically active substances derived from various living organisms. Until now, many studies have been conducted on numerous physiologically active substances, and among them, antibacterial peptides isolated from various living organisms are known to act in a variety of ways, ranging from bacteria, fungi and viruses.
