Biological Activity
KF-22 (18-24 h) exhibits potent broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against 21 multidrug-resistant Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, with MIC values ranging from 1.25 to 5 μg/mL[1].
KF-22 (0-320 μg/mL; 1-24 h) exhibits low hemolytic activity against mouse red blood cells, moderate cytotoxicity against HEK 293 cells at concentrations >120 μg/mL, and lower cytotoxicity against RAW 264.7 cells [1].
KF-22 (1-10 μg/mL) disrupts the cytoplasmic membrane potential of A. baumannii ATCC 19606 and S. aureus ATCC 25923 in a concentration-dependent manner[1].
KF-22 (0-20 μg/mL; 1 h) disrupts the outer and cytoplasmic membranes of A. baumannii ATCC 19606 and S. aureus ATCC 25923 in a dose-dependent manner[1].
KF-22 (0-20 μg/mL; 24 h) dose-dependently inhibits biofilm formation by A. baumannii ATCC 19606 and S. aureus ATCC 25923 and clears preformed biofilms[1].

KF-22 (2-8 mg/kg; i.p.; single dose 1 hour post-infection) has antibacterial activity in neutropenic mice infected with A. baumannii ATCC 19606[1].
