| Summary: | The emergence and spread of multiple drug-resistant bacteria strains caused the development of new antibiotics to be one of the most important challenges of medicinal chemistry. Despite many efforts, the commercial availability of peptide-based antimicrobials is still limited. The presented study aims to explain that immobilized artificial membrane chromatography can support the characterization of antimicrobial peptides. Consequently, the chromatographic experiments of three groups of related peptide substances: (i) short cationic lipopeptides, (ii) citropin analogs, and (iii) conjugates of ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin, with a cell-penetrating peptide were discussed. In light of the discussion of the mechanisms of action of these compounds, the obtained results were interpreted. |
