What Magainin I is studied for

  • Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) screens against Gram-positive and Gram-negative panels
  • Biofilm disruption and anti-biofilm surface coatings
  • Structure–activity relationship (SAR) studies for AMP analogues
  • Host-defense and innate-immunity mechanistic work

Mechanism of action

Magainin I sits within the Antimicrobial research class (CPC reference ATMP-008). Antimicrobial peptides typically disrupt bacterial, fungal, or viral membranes through direct electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions, or by triggering intracellular targets after translocation. Assay potency is usually reported as MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration) against reference strains. Investigators typically incorporate Magainin I as a reference standard, tool ligand, or substrate in the assay contexts listed above. Most commonly used in broth microdilution MIC assays (CLSI M07), radial diffusion assays, and membrane-permeabilization (SYTOX / DiSC₃-5) readouts.

Frequently asked questions

What is Magainin I?

Magainin I (CPC catalog code ATMP-008) is a synthetic antimicrobial peptide (amp) reference standard in the antimicrobial category. It is provided as a lyophilized ~1 mg vial for in-vitro research use only.

What is Magainin I studied for?

Published and internal research programs use Magainin I as a reference standard in antimicrobial workflows — for example, minimum inhibitory concentration (mic) screens against gram-positive and gram-negative panels and biofilm disruption and anti-biofilm surface coatings. Human clinical evidence is not established.

Is Magainin I FDA-approved for human use?

No. Magainin I is a research-grade reference peptide and is not approved by the FDA or any national regulator for human or veterinary therapeutic use. It is offered exclusively for in-vitro laboratory research and does not ship to the United States for consumer use.

How is Magainin I typically used in the lab?

In a antimicrobial workflow, Magainin I is reconstituted in sterile buffer or DMSO (solubility-dependent) and applied in the researcher's chosen assay format. Most commonly used in broth microdilution MIC assays (CLSI M07), radial diffusion assays, and membrane-permeabilization (SYTOX / DiSC₃-5) readouts.

How should Magainin I be stored?

Lyophilized peptide is stable long-term at −20 °C. Reconstituted stock solutions are typically stored at 4 °C for short-term use or aliquoted and frozen for longer storage. Follow your institution's standard operating procedures for handling synthetic peptides.

Where does the Magainin I product page point to?

This kindr reference page mirrors CPC Scientific's catalog metadata for ATMP-008. The upstream reference sheet — including sequence, purity, MW, and application notes where published — is linked from the buy panel. All orders placed on kindr Peptides ship internationally under research-use terms only.

What quality specifications apply to Magainin I?

Research-grade peptides in the CPC catalog are synthesized by solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), purified by preparative RP-HPLC, and characterized by analytical HPLC and mass spectrometry. Typical purity is ≥95%; certificate of analysis is available on request.
