The human cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide, studied for immune defense and wound healing.
Pexiganan is a synthetic antimicrobial peptide derived from frog skin. It is studied for its broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity in treating wound infections.
In the literature, Pexiganan appears most often in work focused on antimicrobial, wound healing and immune support. Studies in this area tend to look at mechanisms and observed effects in laboratory and preclinical settings rather than outcomes in people, so the picture is best read as a map of where researchers have been curious — not as evidence of any benefit.
Pexiganan is catalogued here under powder peptides. Coverage of this compound varies in quality and depth, and much of it remains early-stage. Reading the underlying research directly is the only way to judge how strong any particular finding is.

Colistin is a cyclic cationic lipopeptide antibiotic used as a 'last resort' for life-threatening multidrug-resistant gram-negative infections. Researchers study its antimicrobial properties and mechanisms against resistant bacteria.
Dermcidin is the primary antimicrobial peptide found in human sweat. It plays a unique role in the body's innate immune defense against pathogens on the skin surface.
