Role of the conformational rigidity in the design of biomimetic antimicrobial compounds.
A link between structural flexibility of biomimetic antimicrobials and their ability to penetrate into the hydrophobic core and disrupt the integrity of bacterial lipid model membranes has been… Expand

TLDR
The design and characterization of a miniature OAK composed of only 3 lysyls and 2 acyls is described that preferentially targets gram‐positive species by a bacteriostatic mode of action and supports the notion that C12(ω7)K β12 damages the plasma‐membrane architecture similarly to HDPs. Expand
Antibacterial Properties and Mode of Action of a Short Acyl-Lysyl Oligomer
TLDR
The data point to short OAKs as a potential source for new antibacterial compounds that can selectively affect the growth of gram-positive bacteria while circumventing potential adverse effects linked to lytic compounds. Expand
Design and characterization of a broad -spectrum bactericidal acyl-lysyl oligomer.
TLDR
Investigation of OAK sequences and characterized a promising representative, designated C(12)K-3beta(10), with broad-spectrum activity and low hemotoxicity, which demonstrated the OAK's ability to significantly affect bacterial viability upon single-dose systemic treatment. Expand
OAK-based cochleates as a novel approach to overcome multidrug resistance in bacteria.
TLDR
Single-dose administration of erythromycin coencapsulated in OAK-based cochleates has decreased drug toxicity and increased therapeutic efficacy in a dose-dependent manner, suggesting a potentially useful approach for fighting efflux-enhanced resistance mechanisms. Expand
OAK‐based cochleates as a novel approach to overcome multidrug resistance in bacteria
Antibiotic resistance has become a worldwide medical problem. To find new ways of overcoming this phenomenon, we investigated the role of the membrane‐active oligo‐acyl‐lysyl (OAK) sequence C12K‐7α8,… Expand
A Fresh Look at Cochleate Cylinder by Freeze-Fracture Electron Microscopy: From Fusion Intermediate to Carrier of Antibiotics
TLDR
The double-function of OAK-based antimicrobial peptides in forming cochleate cylinder and promoting encapsulation and effective delivery of traditional antibiotics in/by these assemblies provides an interesting approach to overcome antibiotic resistance in bacteria. Expand
