dc.description.abstractThis study reports the isolation of two novel cysteine-rich antibacterial peptides, turgencin A and turgencin B, along with their oxidized derivatives, from the Arctic marine colonial ascidian <i>Synoicum turgens</i>. The peptides are post-translationally modified, containing six cysteines with an unusual disulfide connectivity of Cys<sup>1</sup>-Cys<sup>6</sup>, Cys<sup>2</sup>-Cys<sup>5</sup>, and Cys<sup>3</sup>-Cys<sup>4</sup> and an amidated C-terminus. Furthermore, the peptides contain methionine residues resulting in the isolation of peptides with different degrees of oxidation. The most potent peptide, turgencin A<sub>Mox1</sub> with one oxidized methionine, displayed antimicrobial activity against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) as low as 0.4 µM against selected bacterial strains. In addition, the peptide inhibited the growth of the melanoma cancer cell line A2058 (IC<sub>50</sub> = 1.4 µM) and the human fibroblast cell line MRC-5 (IC<sub>50</sub> = 4.8 µM). The results from this study show that natural peptides isolated from marine tunicates have the potential to be promising drug leads.en_US
