Product Information

• Name: Dermaseptin
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Dermaseptin is a type of antimicrobial peptide, which is sourced predominantly from the skin secretions of frogs, specifically from the Phyllomedusinae subfamily. These peptides function by disrupting the microbial cell membranes through their amphipathic and cationic nature, leading to cell lysis and death. Dermaseptins exhibit a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity, including action against bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and certain viruses, making them of significant interest in biomedical research.
