ANTIFUNGAL FORMULATION AND METHOD OF PREPARATION

摘要

A pharmaceutical preparation for treating a microbial infection such as a fungal or bacterial infection in an individual comprises a peptide or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein said peptide has an amino acid sequence of at least 8 amino acids selected from the group of amino acid sequences consisting of the amino acid sequence of peptide P-1 13 as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 18 and various modifications thereof, wherein the buffer molarity of the pharmaceutical preparation is suitable to achieve greater than 99% killing of C. albicans in vitro. A pharmaceutical preparation for treating a microbial infection such as a fungal or bacterial infection in an individual comprises a peptide or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein said peptide has an amino acid sequence of at least 8 amino acids selected from the group of amino acid sequences consisting of the amino acid sequence of peptide P-113 as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 18 and various modifications thereof, wherein the pharmaceutical preparation has a buffer molarity of about 25 mM or less. A method for treating a microbial infection such as a fungal or bacterial infection in an individual comprises administering to the individual a therapeutically effective amount of a preparation comprising a peptide or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein said peptide has an amino acid sequence of at least 8 amino acids selected from the group of amino acid sequences consisting of the amino acid sequence of peptide P-113 as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 18 and various modifications thereof, wherein the buffer molarity of the preparation is suitable to achieve greater than 99% killing of C. albicans in vitro.
