Antimicrobial Peptides (AMPs) are small, naturally occurring molecules produced by various organisms as part of their innate immune defense. Synthesized via solid-phase peptide synthesis or recombinant expression, these cationic amphipathic compounds disrupt microbial membranes. A representative example is Colistin (CAS: 1264-72-8), though specific molecular formulas vary by sequence.
Strict storage at -20°C in lyophilized form is required to maintain stability. Clinical use is limited due to potential nephrotoxicity and hemolysis risks. Personnel must handle raw materials with appropriate PPE to avoid inhalation or skin contact hazards.
