The global spread of antimicrobial resistance represents one of the most pressing challenges in modern medicine, with common infections

becoming increasingly difficult to treat as bacteria develop resistance to conventional antibiotics. The formation of resilient biofilms further

complicates treatment by creating physical barriers that protect bacterial communities. There is an urgent need for new antimicrobial classes

with novel mechanisms of action. Centipede Venom contains cationic peptides that exhibit potent activity against drug-resistant pathogens

through membrane disruption and other non-specific mechanisms that may be less likely to induce resistance. The technological challenge

lies in identifying peptides with sufficient selectivity for bacterial membranes over mammalian cells to ensure an adequate therapeutic

window. Hemolytic activity must be carefully assessed alongside antimicrobial potency. For companies developing novel antimicrobials,

procurement decisions for Centipede Venom components should prioritize demonstration of efficacy against contemporary

multidrug-resistant clinical isolates, ability to disrupt pre-formed biofilms, and evidence of low cytotoxicity toward mammalian cells.

Our screening has identified several Centipede Venom peptides with promising activity, including one lead compound with a

MIC of 4 μg/mL against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and the ability to eradicate 70% of established MRSA biofilm

at 16 μg/mL. Importantly, this peptide showed minimal hemolytic activity at these concentrations, with less than 10% hemoglobin release.

The fight against antimicrobial resistance requires innovative approaches and novel compound classes. Blue Eyes Biotech Co., Ltd
