Abstract

The peptide and metallocene-peptide bioconjugates R-Arg-Arg-Phe-NH 2, R-Phe-Arg-Phe-NH 2 where R = H, Fe(Cp)(C 5H 4-CO), Co(Cp)(C 5H 4-CO) + and R′-Gly-Trp-Arg-Arg-Phe-NH 2, R′-Trp-Arg-Arg-Phe- NH 2, where R′ = n-C 5H 11CO, Fe(Cp)(C 5H 4-CO), Co(Cp)(C 5H 4-CO) +, and Arg = l-arginine, Gly = l-glycine, Phe = l-phenylalanine, Trp = l-tryptophan were prepared by solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS). The compounds were purified by RP-HPLC and characterized by ESI-MS and NMR spectroscopy. Antibacterial properties of the compounds were determined by minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) tests against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus.
