Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Pexiganan acetate, also known as MSI-78; is a synthetic antimicrobial peptide.1 It is active against various clinical isolates of bacteria from patients with diabetic foot infections, including S. aureus, methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), and P. aeruginosa (MICs = 16-32, 16-32, and 8-16 µg/ml, respectively). Pexiganan, exhibited bactericidal activity in vitro against Gram-positive and -negative isolates and was also shown to have a low potential for resistance development in broth serial passage experiments.
