Bacterial cell membranes (Gram-positive bacteria) and fungal cell membranes. Nisin Z exerts its antimicrobial effect by forming pores in the membrane, leading to cell death. It also has anti-inflammatory activity by reducing pro-inflammatory cytokine production.

| ln Vitro |
Gingival fibroblasts are more likely to detach and differentiate when exposed to Nisin Z (10 μg/mL, 24 h) [2]. For 24 hours, nisin Z (25–75 μg/mL) prevents C from adhering. gingival cells to albicans[2]. Nisin Z (500 and 1000 μg/mL, 24 hours) prevents C from forming germ tubes. albicans [3]. Nisin Z (10-100 μg/mL, 12 h) inhibits LPS-induced activation of ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK signaling pathways in MCF10A cells [4]. Nisin Z (100 μg/mL, 12 h) lowers LPS-induced production of pro-inflammatory cytokines (i.e., IL-6, TNF-α, IL-1β) in MCF10A cells [4].
Nisin Z (10 µg/mL, 24 hours) increases gingival fibroblast detachment and differentiation. At 25-75 µg/mL, it exhibits antimicrobial activity against various Gram-positive bacteria and fungi. Detailed MIC values against specific pathogens are available from specialized databases. |
| ln Vivo |
In an LPS-induced mouse mastitis model, nisin Z (1, 5 and 10 mg/kg, ip) inhibits pathological damage [4].
In vivo activity data for Nisin Z is not extensively detailed in standard references. As an antimicrobial peptide, it is expected to show efficacy in animal models of bacterial and fungal infections. It is used in food preservation research, suggesting it is safe for topical or oral applications. |
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro antimicrobial susceptibility testing is performed using standard broth microdilution methods (CLSI guidelines). The compound is serially diluted in 96-well plates, and bacterial or fungal cultures are added. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) is determined as the lowest concentration that inhibits visible growth.

Cell Viability Assay[3]
Cell Types: C. albicans Tested Concentrations: 100, 500, 1000 μg/mL Incubation Duration: 24, 48, and 72 h Experimental Results: decreased C. albicans growth. Western Blot Analysis[4] Cell Types: LPS-induced MCF10A cells Tested Concentrations: 10-100 μg/mL Incubation Duration: 12 h Experimental Results: Inhibited the phosphorylation of p38 and and ERK1/ 2. In vitro cell-based assays for anti-inflammatory activity are performed using LPS-stimulated macrophages. Cells are treated with Nisin Z, and pro-inflammatory cytokine levels (e.g., TNF-α, IL-6) in the culture supernatant are measured by ELISA. Cell viability is assessed using MTT assays to exclude cytotoxicity. |
| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: Mastitis mouse model[4]
Doses: 1, 5, and 10 mg/kg Route of Administration: ip, one hour before treatment of LPS. Experimental Results: diminished inflammatory cell infiltration. demonstrated a reduction in inflammatory cytokine levels. In vivo efficacy studies are conducted in animal models of infection (e.g., mouse peritonitis or skin infection models). Nisin Z is administered topically or systemically. Bacterial load in tissues is quantified, and survival rates are monitored. For anti-inflammatory studies, animal models of inflammation (e.g., carrageenan-induced paw edema) are used. |
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Nisin Z is a peptide with a molecular weight of approximately 3331 Da. It is soluble in 0.1 M HCl (20 mg/mL) and water (10 mg/mL). It has poor solubility in DMSO (2 mg/mL). It is stored at -20°C under nitrogen, protected from moisture and light. Detailed PK data is not available.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Detailed toxicological profiles of Nisin Z are not extensively reported. As a naturally occurring lantibiotic used in food preservation, it is generally recognized as safe (GRAS). At high concentrations, it may cause cytotoxicity, but this is typically assessed in parallel with antimicrobial activity in cell-based assays.
