D-Amino acids in antimicrobial peptides: a potential approach to treat and combat antimicrobial resistance

Shikha Kapil et al.

Summary: Antimicrobial peptides, as potent as commercially available antibiotics, are being explored as natural alternatives to combat antimicrobial resistance. Besides their antibiotic capabilities, these peptides also possess anticancer activity and help regulate inflammation, making them promising candidates for novel treatments. Their distinct modes of action and versatility in modification through de-novo synthesis technology further enhance their potential in the development of new drugs.
