Biological Activity
N2W2 (2-256 μM; 18 h) exhibits potent antimicrobial activity against S. aureus ATCC 25923, E. faecalis ATCC 29212, S. epidermidis ATCC 12228, K. pneumoniae ATCC 700603, E. coli ATCC 25922, and P. aeruginosa ATCC 27853 with a geometric mean of the MIC of 6.3 μM[1].
N2W2 (16-2048 μM; 1 h) exhibits high hemolytic activity against Kunming mouse blood cells with an MHC of 70.8 μM[1].
N2W2 (1 h) exhibits significant cytotoxicity against NRK-52E and GES-1 cells with CC50 values of 10.1 μM and 4.3 μM, respectively[1].
N2W2 is highly susceptible to trypsin or
chymotrypsin and nearly lost their antimicrobial activity after incubation with trypsin or chymotrypsin[1].
