dc.description.abstractPeptides are a promising alternative of conventional medical drugs for the treatment of different diseases because they have no or have very few side effects owing to the natural mechanisms for their elimination. There are a lot of examples of drugs on the pharmaceutical market based on modified amino acids and peptides. Herein, we report the synthesis and studies on the antimicrobial peptide (KLAKLAK)2-NH2 where Leu is replaced by the unnatural amino acid nor-Leu. In addition, a second pharmacophore with well proven anticancer properties is introduced to the peptide moiety. All structures were synthesized by conventional solid phase peptide synthesis. The antiproliferative and antimicrobial activities were studied using MTT-dye reduction assay and disk-diffusion test, respectively. Biological activity assays showed that the introduction of nor-Leu in the primary structure of the parent compound does not lead to an increase in the antiproliferative activity. However, the combination with the second pharmacophore 1,8-naphtalimide in a hybrid structure 1,8-NphtG-(KNleAKNleAK)2-NH2 leads to a significant increase in the antiproliferative properties. The antimicrobial tests showed that all tested compounds exhibit antimicrobial activity. The peptide and the second pharmacophore had a synergistic effect. In combination with complete hydrolytic stability for 72 h in model systems, the compound 1,8-NphtG-(KNleAKNleAK)2-NH2 is the best candidate for a medical drug in the treatment of mammary gland type A adenocarcinoma (MCF-7) in combination with antimicrobial properties.
