Product Description
Nisin Z is an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory peptide. Nisin Z is effective against Gram-positive (Gram+) bacteria and fungi, such as C. albicans.
Nisin Z is a lantibiotic, a class of bacteriocin polypeptide antibiotic, with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activity. It is effective against Gram-positive bacteria and fungi such as Candida albicans. It is produced by Gram-positive bacteria to reduce competitive strain from other Gram-positive bacteria.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
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 Assay
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.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box

Instructions to calculate molar mass (molecular weight) of a chemical compound:
  • To calculate molar mass of a chemical compound, please enter the chemical/molecular formula and click the “Calculate’ button.
Definitions of molecular mass, molecular weight, molar mass and molar weight:
  • Molecular mass (or molecular weight) is the mass of one molecule of a substance and is expressed in the unified atomic mass units (u). (1 u is equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of carbon-12)
  • Molar mass (molar weight) is the mass of one mole of a substance and is expressed in g/mol.
