Tyrothricin is a novel and potent antimicrobial polypeptide extracted from Bacillus brevis, consisting of gramicidins and tyrocidins commands broad antimicrobial activity against gram-positive bacteria and some yeasts in vitro. It has activity against bacteria, fungi and some viruses.
ln Vitro |
Composed of 50%–70% tyrocidines and 25%–50% gramicidins, tyrothricin is a polypeptide mixture. While the fraction of gramicidins consists of neutral, linear peptides, the group of tyrocidines consists of basic, cyclic peptides. Tyrothricin's constituents include D-amino acids in addition to physiological and necessary L-amino acids[1].
The nonribosomal pathway is how the gram-positive aerobic sporeforming bacterium Bacillus brevis (Strain ATCC 8185) produces tyrothricin during the sporulation phase[1]. Tyrothricin's efficacy spectrum primarily targets gram-positive bacteria, although it also targets a few gram-negative species. The range of Tyrothricin concentrations that inhibit Corynebacteria and Staphylococci is wider, ranging from 2-256 μg/mL. At a maximum concentration of 128 μg/mL, Tyrothricin can inhibit all strains of Staphylococcus, unlike the gramicidin fraction alone. Meningococci and gonococci were the most sensitive gram-negative bacteria, with a sensitivity of 96 μg/mL[1]. Numerous Candida species are susceptible to the fungicidal effects of tyrothricin. Tyrothricin exhibits anti-infectious properties against the Sendai strain of the parainfluenza virus [1]. |

ln Vivo |
Pre-incubating the virus suspension with tyrothricin could considerably reduce the lethality in mice when utilizing HSV type 1 in animal models. Tyrothricin and the virus had to come into direct contact for the effect to manifest[1].
However, at higher Tyrothricin concentrations in vitro, disruption of the integrity of eukaryotic membranes is observed. Tyrothricin's hemolytic activity in in vitro studies and when administered intravenously to animals serve as examples of this effect. Oral administration is highly well tolerated compared to intravenous (LD50 mouse: 3.7 mg/kg) and intraperitoneal (LD50 mouse: 20-45 mg/kg) administrations, as Tyrothricin is broken down in the gastrointestinal tract[1]. |
