Abstract: Objective To study the stability and anti-microbial activity in vitro of a new polypeptide-peptide derivative N22. MethodsThe content change of the peptide derivative N22 and isoniazid(INH) in the neutral solution from 0 to 6 days at 37℃ was analyzed by HPLC. The anti-bacterial activity in vitro was detected by the 2-fold dilution assay and the AlamarBlue assay. ResultsThe Results of HPLC showed that peptide derivative N22 was more unstable than INH in the media. In vitro experiments, the peptide derivative N22 can inhibit M. tuberculosis better than INH, its minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC) was 50μg/ml. It had also the effect against E.coli, and the MIC for E.coli was 130μg/ml. ConclusionsThe peptide derivative N22 had better effect against M. tuberculosis and E.coli.
