Enantiomer-dependent biodistribution and exposure determine the in vivo behavior of a pleurocidin-derived antimicrobial peptide

ABSTRACT Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) display rapid bactericidal activity in vitro , but have largely failed as systemically administered therapeutics, indicating that intrinsic potency alone does not predict in vivo efficacy. Here, we examine how pharmacokinetics, stereochemist...
