Product Description: RW3 is a small cationic hexapeptide with amphiphilic properties. RW3 targets the plasma membrane of bacteria and works by inhibiting cell respiration and cell wall synthesis. RW3 shows high biological activity against gram-positive bacteria and does not show significant cytotoxic or hemolytic effects in previous studies. RW3 quickly kills 97% of the initial colony forming units (CFU) within 10 minutes at twice the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). RW3 can be used in antimicrobial and antifungal studies[1].
Applications: COVID-19-immunoregulation
Formula: C51H69N19O6
