A NEW SCOLOPENDRASIN I PEPTIDE ISOLATED FROM THE SCOLOPENDRA SUBSPINIPES AND ITS SYNTHETIC COMPOSITION

摘要

The present invention relates to a novel Scolopendrasin I peptide isolated from Scolopendra subspinipes and a composition thereof. The present invention provides a novel gene (sequence number 1) of an antibacterial and antifungal peptide isolated from Scolopendra subspinipes, or amino acid (sequence number 2) deducted from the gene, and a peptide (sequence number 3) synthesized from the amino acid. The novel Scolopendrasin I peptide isolated from Scolopendra subspinipes and a composition thereof are provided by the present invention. Accordingly, provided are antibiotics, food preservatives, cosmetic preservatives, medicines, etc. which are free from cytotoxicity and are safe for the human body while showing excellent antibacterial activity and antifungal activity.
