Reassessing the Host Defense Peptide Landscape [PDF]
Frontiers in Chemistry, 2019 Current research has demonstrated that small cationic amphipathic peptides have strong potential not only as antimicrobials, but also as antibiofilm agents, immune modulators, and anti-inflammatories. Although traditionally termed antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) these additional roles have prompted a shift in terminology to use the broader term host ...

The Roles of Antimicrobial Peptides in Innate Host Defense [PDF]
Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2009 Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are multi-functional peptides whose fundamental biological role in vivo has been proposed to be the elimination of pathogenic microorganisms, including Gram-positive and -negative bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Genes encoding these peptides are expressed in a variety of cells in the host, including circulating phagocytic ...

Regulation of Host Defense Peptide Synthesis by Polyphenols
Antibiotics, 2023 The rise of antimicrobial resistance has created an urgent need for antibiotic-alternative strategies for disease control and prevention. Host defense peptides (HDPs), which have both antimicrobial and immunomodulatory properties, are an important component of the innate immune system.
