Paper Synthesis and antibacterial study of cell-penetrating peptide conjugated trifluoroacetyl and thioace
Peptide Tat KP 15
Delivery Success Class no
In Vivo Flag no
Uptake Confirmed no
Label Confidence high
In Vitro Functional Effect
Endosomal Escape Evidence
Peptide Concentration Tested against bacteria across concentration ranges (e.g., 1000–1.9 µM for MIC assays; additional assays 0–50 µM for transcription inhibition).
Rna Concentration
Mixing Ratio
Formulation Format Free peptide (no RNA payload; antibacterial study)
Formulation Components Peptide alone in Mueller Hinton Broth (MHB) for MIC and biofilm assays; in vitro transcription assay with E. coli RNAP holoenzyme + plasmid DNA.
Size Nm
Zeta Mv
Model Scope in_vitro
Model Type in vitro
Cell Lines Or Primary Cells Bacteria: Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa; yeast reporter strain TEL:URA3 for Sir2 inhibition screen.
Animal Model
Administration Route
Output Type antibacterial activity + transcription inhibition (not RNA delivery)
Output Value MICs reported vs S. aureus / E. coli / P. aeruginosa; Tat-conjugated peptides show higher potency than unconjugated analogs.
Output Units
Output Notes Tat-KP13 and Tat-KP24 fully inhibited in vitro transcription at ~10 µM in E. coli RNAP holoenzyme assay; biofilm inhibition/eradication and SEM/TEM membrane disruption also reported.
Toxicity Notes Hemolysis <5% up to 1000 µM (mouse RBC). Tat conjugates cytotoxic to HeLa/BE(2)-C at ~17–32 µM IC50; unconjugated peptides less cytotoxic (~78–95 µM IC50).
