Likely kills S. aureus and E. coli. Active against metabolically active fungi A. fumigatus and C. albicans but not metabolically quiescent forms. Antifungal activity is localized to the N-terminal region ( Tomee JF et al., 1997) ). It seems that the N-terminal domain is responsible for antimicrobial activity. It also inhibits neutrophil elastase and other enzymes via its C-terminal domain, especially Leu72-Met73 residues. Virus: It also inhibts HIV-1 and HIV-2, free form ( Hocini et al., 2000 ). It may constitute a major shield from HIV infection orally ( Stergios Doumas et al., 2005 ). Proteases: inhibits chymotrypsin, leukocyte elastase, and trypsin. Anti-inflammatory:e.g., see Song et al. 1999 . It can binds to LPS in vitro, thereby blocking its transfer to soluble CD14 and uptake by macrophages ( Ding et al., 1999 ). Cancer: inhibited mammary tumor but not colon tumor growth ( Amiano et al., 2013 ). Promotes the tumorigenic and metastatic potential of cancer cells ( Devoogdt et al., 2003 ).
