项目摘要

We hypothesize that novel anti-HIV and anti-STI topical microbicides based on natural antimicrobial peptides collected in the Antimicrobial Peptide Database developed by the co-PI's laboratory (http://aps.unmc.due/AP/main.html) can be discovered and improved through peptide engineering technology. During the R21 phase, we will methodically screen peptides from the database and define specific inhibitors of HIV and HSV-2 as well as broad based inhibitory peptides. These active agents will be further developed in order to understand their range and mechanism of anti-HIV action. Superior peptides identified in SA1 will be characterized in SA2 to provide a rationale for continued development in SA3 using various molecular strategies which will result in the improvement of the therapeutic index of the peptide agents, with and without other small molecule microbicides, in order to begin development of an effective microbicide product. This product will be formulated and evaluated in animal models and safety assessment studies in the R33 portion of the project. Our goal is to produce a female controlled preventative agent which can be utilized to prevent the sexual transmission of viral, bacterial and fungal organisms with a focus on inhibiting the transmission of HIV. The research data will be entered into the existing antimicrobial peptide database to facilitate the use by funding agencies, other researchers, students and the public.

我们假设基于CO-PI实验室开发的抗菌肽数据库（http：//aps.unmc.due/ap/ap/main.html）所开发的抗菌肽数据库中收集的天然抗菌肽的新型抗HIV和抗STI局部杀菌剂可以通过ppteptide Technologe进行了改进。在R21阶段，我们将有条不紊地从数据库中筛选肽，并定义HIV和HSV-2的特定抑制剂以及基于广泛的抑制性肽。这些活性药物将进一步开发，以了解其抗HIV作用的范围和机制。 SA2中确定的上肽将在SA2中进行表征，以使用各种分子策略为SA3的持续发展提供理由，这将改善肽剂的治疗指数，并具有有或没有其他小分子微生物剂，以便开始有效微生物产物的开发。该产品将在该项目的R33部分中的动物模型和安全评估研究中进行制定和评估。我们的目标是生产女性受控的预防剂，该预防剂可用于防止病毒，细菌和真菌生物的性传播，重点是抑制HIV的传播。研究数据将输入现有的抗菌肽数据库，以促进资助机构，其他研究人员，学生和公众的使用。
