摘要:

抗菌肽(antimicrobial peptides, AMPs)是一类广泛存在于自然界,具有广谱抗菌活性的多肽类物质,其因独特的抗菌作用机制被视为传统抗生素的新型替代药物。近几十年来,研究人员在AMPs方向进行了大量工作,但AMPs的开发与应用仍然存在诸多限制,包括生物体内提取困难、生产成本高、全身细胞毒性和生理条件下的不稳定性。因此,研究者们以天然AMPs为模板进行衍生肽设计,以期开发出新的具有强效力和低毒性的AMPs药物。但试验性肽的设计及筛选过程复杂耗时、工作量大、迭代成本高。随着计算方法的不断进步,可公开访问的数据库提供了大量的AMPs数据。这些数据库为开发和构建新型抗菌药物提供了宝贵的资源。本文对现有的AMPs数据库和数据库辅助设计方法进行了综述,以期对AMPs的药物开发提供参考。

Abstract:

Antimicrobial peptides(AMPs)are a diverse class of peptides ubiquitously present in nature, showcasing a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity. Due to their distinctive antibacterial mechanisms, they are considered a novel alternative to conventional antibiotics. In recent decades, substantial research has been conducted on AMPs. However, challenges persist in the development and application of these peptides, including difficulties extraction in vivo, high production costs, systemic cytotoxicity, and instability in physiological conditions. Consequently, scientists employ natural AMPs as a model to generate derived peptides with the aim of creating novel peptide drugs that possess enhanced potency and reduced toxicity. The process of experimental peptide design is deep concerned by its time-consuming, labor-intensive, and costly nature. However, with the continuous advancement of computational methods, publicly accessible databases now offer substantial amounts of AMPs data. These databases serve as a valuable resource for the development and construction of novel AMPs. In this paper, the existing AMP databases and database-aided design methods are reviewed with the aim to provide reference for drug development of AMPs.
