Active against S. aureus 502a or MRSA, L. monocytogenes, E. coli ML 35, S. typhimurium, C. albicans 16820, and C. neoformans. Theta-defensins are particularly important for antifungal activity of the granule extracts as alpha-defensins are poorly active (Tongaonkar P et al 2011 J Leuko Biol 89, 283-90). It is also active against HIV-1. RTD-1 inhibits human Papillomavirus (hrHPV, nonenvelope DNA virus) infection through a mechanism involving capsid clustering that inhibits virions from binding to cell surface receptor complexes ( Skeate et al., 2020 ).
