Novel α-MSH peptide analogues with broad spectrum antimicrobial activity.

Novel α-MSH peptide analogues with broad spectrum antimicrobial activity.

Previous investigations indicate that α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) and certain synthetic analogues of it exert antimicrobial effects against bacteria and yeasts.
