1. 1. Understanding the effects of TCP-25 and EDTA interaction : A study of the biophysical aspects of a naturally derived peptide formulation with EDTA for topical application

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)

   Author : Ebba Kant; [2023]
   Keywords : chronic wounds; EDTA; biophysical aspects; formulation; pharmaceutical technology; Thrombin derived C-terminal peptide; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Chronic wounds are an emerging healthcare issue and current methods of healing chronic wounds address bacteria but are ineffective against resistant bacteria and the biofilm formation commonly observed in these wounds. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) derived from the endogenous wound healing system have been shown to combat bacterial infections, exhibit immunomodulatory effects, as well as improving wound healing.

3. 2. Topical formulation of antimicrobials for wound care

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för farmaceutisk biovetenskap

   Author : Ida Cederwall; [2022]
   Keywords : topical formulation; antibiotic resistance; topical antimicrobial formulation; topical gel; AMP; AP114; amoxicillin; wound care; poloxamer; HPMC;

   Abstract : The increasing spread of antibiotic resistance among bacteria poses a major threat to the public health. There is an urge for the development of innovative formulations of existing and new antibiotics. READ MORE

4. 3. Novel ways of treating bacterial skin infections: the antimicrobial peptides REI-26 and CD4-PP

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

   Author : Magdalena de Arriba Sánchez de la Campa; [2022]
   Keywords : Antimicrobial peptides; skin infections; wound healing;

   Abstract : Severe skin and soft-tissue infections can lead to septic shock and organ failure. Antibiotic treatment is turning ineffective due to the rise of antimicrobial resistance. This calls for the need for novel antimicrobial therapies such as antimicrobial peptides. READ MORE

5. 4. Formulation and characterization of lipid-based nanocarriers for the delivery of antimicrobial peptide

   University essay from KTH/Proteinvetenskap

   Author : Srijani Saha; [2022]
   Keywords : AP114; Antimicrobial peptide AMP ; Nanostructured lipid carriers NLC ; Liposomes; Dynamic light scattering DLS ; Hydrodynamic size distribution; Zeta potential; Entrapment efficiency EE ; Release study;

   Abstract : Bakterier som är resistenta mot antibiotika har de senaste åren blivit ett stort hot mot mänskligheten. Att utveckla nya antibiotikaläkemedel är väldigt tidskrävande samt kommer med en dyr prislapp. READ MORE

6. 5. Lipid bilayers and their interactions with the antimicrobial peptide LL37: a TIR Raman study

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemivetenskap (CHE)

   Author : Rebecca Jacob; [2016]
   Keywords : TIR; Raman; LL37; lipid; bilayers; antimicrobial; peptide; AMP; resistance; antibiotics; DMPC; DOPC; DOPE; DOPG;

   Abstract : As a direct consequence of the misuse of antibiotics since its first discovery, bacteria have developed extensive resistance mechanisms making them once again potential lethal threats. This eventuality has triggered a vast research effort from scientists worldwide to find solutions to mitigate antimicrobial resistance. READ MORE
