Human beta-defensin-3: a promising antimicrobial peptide

G Batoni et al. Mini Rev Med Chem. 2006 Oct.

Abstract

The field of naturally occurring antimicrobial peptides is a research area rapidly expanding due to the high potential of such molecules as new antimicrobial drugs. In this regard, the human beta-defensin-3 is particularly attractive because of its strong antibacterial activity, relative salt-insensitiveness and low toxicity for host cells.
