TABLE 2.
MICs of the acylated analogs of NPY for C. albicans
| Peptide | MIC (μM)a
|
||
|---|---|---|---|
| Unmodified | Acetylatedb | Succinylatedb | |
| [Asn12]NPY(12–36) | 1.0–1.5 | 3.0–3.5 | 14–16 |
| [Thr12]NPY(12–36) | 1.5 | 7.0–8.0 | 12–14 |
| [Asp12]NPY(12–36) | 3.0–4.0 | 20–25 | 40–60 |
| [Lys12]NPY(12–36) | 1.5 | 1.5–2.0 | 1.0–1.5 |
The MICs were determined from at least three independent experiments.
Acetylation and succinylation of the α-amino groups of the NPY analogs were performed before cleavage from the resin by the addition of acetic anhydride and succinic anhydride to the suspension of the resin-bound peptides, respectively.
