c-215

C-215 is a novel inhibitor of mycobacterial membrane protein large 3 (MmpL3).

Surfactant protein A (SP-A) (196-215) is a synthetic peptide derived from the C-terminal carbohydrate recognition domain of human SP-A, specifically amino acids 196-215. This peptide suppresses LPS-induced TNF-α release in JAWSII mouse dendritic cells at 1 and 10 µM concentrations and promotes phagocytosis of P. aeruginosa at a 75 µM concentration. Furthermore, intratracheal administration of SP-A (196-215) at a dose of 50 µg per animal reduces disease severity and lung colony-forming units in mice infected with P. aeruginosa.
