Protegrins are broad spectrum antibiotic peptides isolated from porcine leukocytes. In this study, we (i) examine the sensitivity of Gram‐negative, anaerobic periodontal pathogens to synthetic protegrins; (ii) determine the relative potencies of protegrin congeners against these bacteria; and (iii) compare the potency of protegrins with other antibiotic peptides, including magainin MSI‐78, tachyplesin I, cecropin P1, human defensins HNP‐1‐3, and clavanin A. Syntheticl‐ andd‐enantiomers of protegrin 1 (PG‐1 and D‐PG‐1, respectively), and L‐enantiomers of protegrins 2, 3 and 5 (PG‐2, PG‐3 and PG‐5) were tested againstFusobacteriurn nucleatum, and black‐pigmented organisms includingPorphyromonas gingivalisandPrevotella intermedia.Strains of bothF. nucleatumand the black‐pigmented organisms were sensitive to PG‐1, and exhibited mean ED99of 2.2‐2.3 μg/ml and 3.4‐9.9 μg/ml, respectively. The D‐form was statistically more potent than the L‐form against these oral anaerobes, and although this difference in potency is unlikely to be of decisive therapeutic significance, thed‐form may be of value given ability to resist microbial and host‐derived proteases. PG‐1 was more potent than magainin, tachyplesin, cecropin, defensins and clavanin under test conditions. Hypertonic saIt concentrations and heat‐inactivated serum were found to be inhibitory to the bactericidal activity of PG‐1. PG‐1 was found to induce morphologic alterations in the ultrastructural appearance ofF. nucleatumconsistent with damage to the bacterial membranes. We conclude that protegrins may be useful antimicrobial agents in therapy against Gram‐negative anaerobic bacteria believed to be involved in chronic, adult forms of periodontal infections.
