    【Product Overview】 We are a specialized global supplier of Indolicidin, a potent cationic antimicrobial peptide (AMP) originally isolated from bovine neutrophils. Comprising only 13 amino acids, this unique peptide is distinguished by having the highest percentage of Tryptophan residues of any known protein. It is a critical reagent for research into "Next-Generation Antibiotics" and is widely studied for its broad-spectrum activity against Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria, fungi, and even viral membranes.

    【Key Advantages】

    Unique Tryptophan-Rich Structure: Indolicidin contains five Tryptophan residues, which facilitate its insertion into lipid bilayers. This structural feature is essential for studying membrane permeabilization and peptide-lipid interactions.

    Dual Mechanism of Action: Unlike standard AMPs that only disrupt cell membranes, Indolicidin is unique; it penetrates the cell and inhibits DNA synthesis, offering a dual-attack mechanism that reduces the likelihood of bacterial resistance.

    Broad-Spectrum Efficacy: It is widely researched for its potent activity against pathogens such as E. coli, S. aureus (including MRSA), and Candida albicans, making it a versatile tool for microbiology and dermatology research.

    High Purity Synthesis: We guarantee ≥95.0% purity (HPLC). Synthesizing Trp-rich peptides is challenging due to oxidation risks; our specialized process ensures the integrity of the Tryptophan residues, delivering a highly active product.

    【Logistics & Service】

    Protective Packaging: Due to the oxidation sensitivity of Tryptophan, we package Indolicidin in amber vials under inert gas (Argon/Nitrogen) to ensure stability.

    Global Export: We are experienced in shipping antimicrobial peptides globally. We provide full HS Code support (typically 2937.19) and non-clinical declarations to facilitate smooth customs clearance to the US, EU, and Asia.

    Custom Synthesis: We can also provide analogues (e.g., CP10A) or labeled versions for specific fluorescence studies upon request.

    Regulatory Disclaimer: This product is supplied as a Chemical Reference Standard or API Intermediate for laboratory research (R&D) and further manufacturing use only. It is NOT intended for direct human therapeutic use, clinical injection, or patient administration without regulatory approval.
