Recently, new cationic antibacterial peptide OM19R has been designed with low minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values against some gram-negative bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, Salmonella, and Shigella. However, this hybrid peptide, like most antibacterial peptides, has low enzyme stability and short half-life, which, in turn, increases the drug's cost. In this study, an antibacterial peptide (OM19r-8) was obtained containing some D-Arg amino acids. The new preparations were carried out through the replacement of L-Arginine by D-Arginine and the addition of PEG chains. Firstly, eight OM19r series of antibacterial peptides were obtained by designing D-Arg. Then, a polyethylene glycol-modified product mPEG(5)-butyrALD-OM19r-8 (mPEG(5)-OM19r-8) was isolated and purified by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RT-HPLC). The enzyme stability test showed that the resistance of antibacterial peptide OM19r-8 to protease degradation increased by 4-32-fold. Moreover, the Time-kill studies showed that the germicidal kinetics curves of mPEG(5)-OM19r-8 and OM19r-8 to Escherichia coli had a similar trend, thus suggesting that PEG modification has an acceptable effect on the activity of the original peptide. Furthermore, the elimination of half-life (28.09 +/- 2.81min) of mPEG(5)-OM19r-8, and the area under the drug concentration-time curve (2686.48 +/- 651.36min*ug/ml) was significantly prolonged. The current study demonstrates an example that optimizes the AMP by utilizing L-to-D amino acid replacement and including PEG chains. These results provide useful data for the clinical application of the mPEG(5)-OM19r-8. (C) 2020 American Pharmacists Association (R). Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
