Pezadeftide
Pezadeftide (HXP124) is a naturally derived plant defensin peptide molecule with antifungal activity. Pezadeftide binds to fungal cell wall chitin and β-glucan, enters fungal cells via endocytosis; induces mitochondrial membrane hyperpolarization, promotes ROS generation, further triggers vacuole fusion, alters plasma membrane permeability, and ultimately causes fungal cell death. Pezadeftide exhibits inhibitory effects against various skin and nail pathogenic fungi. Pezadeftide can be used in research related to fungal infections.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
Pezadeftide selects resistant S. cerevisiae deletion strains enriched in mitochondrial respiration and sphingolipid biosynthesis, among which F1-F0 ATP synthase mutants exhibit higher tolerance[2].
Pezadeftide permeabilizes the S. cerevisiae plasma membrane in a concentration-dependent manner, induces ROS, and hyperpolarizes the mitochondrial membrane potential in S. cerevisiae BY4741[2].
Pezadeftide induces ROS at 3-7 min and triggers vacuolar fusion at 14-16 min[2].
