Cecropin A is an antimicrobial peptide originally isolated from insects, but now believed to be naturally produced and found in a large variety of organisms including mammals. It has garnered a lot of interest for its broad-spectrum antiparasitic and antibacterial activities. It is also active against fungi, and has cytotoxic effects on cancer cell lines. It is common to find this peptide as part of a fusion protein or the beginnings of a derived series of antimicrobial peptides in new antimicrobial drug research.
