LL-37 amide
Based on 2 publication(s) in Google Scholar
LL-37 amide is a selective agonist of formyl peptide receptor-like FPRL1, effectively inhibiting periodontal pathogens (ED99=8.5-8.7 μg/mL). LL-37 amide exerts its bactericidal effect by activating FPRL1-mediated immune cell chemotaxis and disrupting bacterial cell membrane integrity. It can also regulate inflammatory responses (inhibiting the release of factors such as TNF-α) and promote angiogenesis. Amidation modification reduces its sensitivity to serum inhibition and improves its stability. LL-37 amide possesses key activities in bactericidal action, immunomodulation, and wound healing, and is mainly used in research on infection-related diseases such as periodontal disease and deep tissue injuries (pressure ulcers), and wound healing.

Biological Activity
LL-37 amide is the carboxyl-terminal amidated form of LL-37. Compared to natural LL-37, it exhibits significantly improved stability and enhanced resistance to enzymatic degradation[1].
Antibacterial activity: It shows good antibacterial effects against both Gram-positive bacteria (such as *Bacillus megaterium*) and Gram-negative bacteria (such as *Escherichia coli* D21). The MIC against D21 is approximately 5 μM, comparable to that of natural LL-37[1].
Cytotoxicity: The toxicity to eukaryotic cells is concentration-dependent, with a safe concentration range of 0.1-10 μM. Toxicity increases significantly at concentrations exceeding 10 μM[1].
LL-37 amide (8.5-8.7 μg/mL; 1 h) exhibits bactericidal activity against *Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans* FDC-Y4 and *Porphyromonas gingivalis* ATCC 33123, with ED99 values ??of 8.7 μg/mL and 8.5 μg/mL, respectively[3].
