Blap-6, a Novel Antifungal Peptide from the Chinese Medicinal Beetle Blaps rhynchopetera against Cryptococcus neoformans. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:5336. [PMID: 38791374 PMCID: PMC11121495 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25105336] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2024] [Revised: 05/09/2024] [Accepted: 05/12/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Cryptococcus neoformans (C. neoformans) is a pathogenic fungus that can cause life-threatening meningitis, particularly in individuals with compromised immune systems. The current standard treatment involves the combination of amphotericin B and azole drugs, but this regimen often leads to inevitable toxicity in patients. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop new antifungal drugs with improved safety profiles. We screened antimicrobial peptides from the hemolymph transcriptome of Blaps rhynchopetera (B. rhynchopetera), a folk Chinese medicine. We found an antimicrobial peptide named blap-6 that exhibited potent activity against bacteria and fungi. Blap-6 is composed of 17 amino acids (KRCRFRIYRWGFPRRRF), and it has excellent antifungal activity against C. neoformans, with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 0.81 μM. Blap-6 exhibits strong antifungal kinetic characteristics. Mechanistic studies revealed that blap-6 exerts its antifungal activity by penetrating and disrupting the integrity of the fungal cell membrane. In addition to its direct antifungal effect, blap-6 showed strong biofilm inhibition and scavenging activity. Notably, the peptide exhibited low hemolytic and cytotoxicity to human cells and may be a potential candidate antimicrobial drug for fungal infection caused by C. neoformans.

Abstract
Complications of chronic non-healing wounds led to the emergence of nanotechnology-based therapies to enhance healing, facilitate tissue repair, and prevent wound-related complications like infections. Here, we design alpha lipoic acid (ALA) conjugated hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) and boron carbide (B4C) nanoparticles (NPs) to enhance wound healing in human dermal fibroblast (HDFa) cell culture and characterize its antimicrobial properties against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus, gram positive) and Escherichia coli (E. coli, gram negative) bacterial strains. ALA molecules are integrated onto hBN and C4B NPs through esterification procedure, and molecular characterizations are performed by using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and UV-vis spectroscopy. Wound healing and antimicrobial properties are investigated via the use of cell viability assays, scratch test, oxidative stress, and antimicrobial activity assays. Based on our analysis, we observe that ALA-conjugated hBN NPs have the highest wound-healing feature and antimicrobial activity compared to ALA-B4C. On the other hand, hBN, ALA-B4C, and ALA compounds showed promising regenerative and antimicrobial properties. Also, we find that ALA conjugation enhances wound healing and antimicrobial potency of hBN and B4C NPs. We conclude that the ALA-hBN conjugate is a potential candidate to stimulate regeneration process for injuries.

Abstract
Bis-substituted cyclam derivatives have recently emerged as a promising new class of antibacterial agents, displaying excellent activity against drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) and in vivo efficacy in a zebrafish assay. Herein we report the synthesis and biological activity of new carborane derivatives within this class of antitubercular compounds. The resulting carborane-cyclam conjugates incorporating either hydrophobic closo-1,2-carborane or anionic, hydrophilic nido-7,8-carborane clusters display promising activity in an antibacterial assay employing the virulent Mtb strain H37Rv. The most active of these carborane derivatives exhibit MIC50 values of <1 μM, making them the most active compounds in this unique class of antibacterial cyclams reported to date.

Abstract
A series of novel conjugates of cobalt bis(dicarbollide) and closo-dodecaborate with curcumin were synthesized by copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition. These conjugates were tested for antibacterial activity. It was shown that all derivatives are active when exposed to Bacillus cereus ATCC 10702 and are not active against Gram-negative microorganisms and Candida albicans at the maximum studied concentration of 1000 mg/L. The conjugate of alkynyl-curcumin with azide synthesized from the tetrahydropyran derivative of cobalt bis(dicarbollide) exhibited activity against Gram-positive microorganisms: Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213, Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212 and the clinical isolate MRSA 17, that surpassed curcumin by 2–4 times.

Abstract
The surge of medical devices associated with nosocomial infection (NI) cases, especially by multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial strains, is one of the pressing issues of present health care systems. Metal oxide nanoparticles (MNPs) have become promising antibacterial agents against a wide range of bacterial strains. This work study is on the bactericidal capacity of heterogeneous TiO2/ZnO nanocomposites with different weight percentages and concentrations against common MDR and non-MDR bacterial strains. The profiles on disk diffusion, minimum inhibitory concentration, minimum bactericidal concentration, tolerance determination, time-kill, and biofilm inhibition assay were determined after 24 h of direct contact with the nanocomposite samples. Findings from this work revealed that the heterogeneous TiO2/ZnO nanocomposite with a 25T75Z weight ratio showed an optimal tolerance ratio against Gram-positive and -negative bacteria, indicating their bactericidal capacity. Further observation suggests that higher molar ratio of Zn2+ may possibly involve generation of active ion species that enhance bactericidal effect against Gram-positive bacterial strains, especially for the MDR strains. Nano-based technology using MNPs may provide a promising solution for the prevention and control of NIs. Further work on biocompatibility and cytotoxicity profiles of this nanocomposite are needed.
