The Synthetic Melanocortin (CKPV)(2) Exerts Anti-Fungal and Anti-Inflammatory Effects against Candida albicans Vaginitis via Inducing Macrophage M(2) Polarization

In this study, we examined anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory effects of the synthetic melanocortin peptide (Ac-Cys-Lys-Pro-Val-NH(2))(2) or (CKPV)(2) against Candida albicans vaginitis. Our in vitro results showed that (CKPV)(2) dose-dependently inhibited Candida albicans colonies formation. In a ra...
