HB43
HB43 is a synthetic amphipathic cationic α-helical peptide, as well as an antibacterial/anticancer peptide. HB43 reduces the number of Methicillin (HY-121544)-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in biofilms in a dose-dependent manner. When loaded into chitosan nanoparticles, it achieves sustained release, and this effect is particularly pronounced under acidic conditions.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
HB43 (108-216 μg/mL; 24 h) disrupts the membrane integrity of MRSA USA300 LAC biofilm-embedded bacteria in a dose-dependent manner, with the highest membrane damage observed at 216 μg/mL[2].
HB43 (216 μg/mL; 2-4 h) penetrates MRSA USA300 LAC biofilms within 2 h and shows extensive uniform distribution across the biofilm surface by 4 h[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
