Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a major pathogenic factor in endotoxin shock or sepsis. Most antibiotics have little clinical anti-endotoxin activity, but some antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have been shown to be effective in blocking LPS. We identified a novel peptide from the skin secretions of Bombina maxima (B. _maxima) by challenging the skin of frogs with an LPS solution. Peptide 2 has an amino acid sequence of LVGKLLKGAVGDVCGLLPIC. Peptide 2 possesses low hemolytic activity, low cytotoxicity against RAW 264.7 cells, and strong anti-inflammatory activity. Moreover, peptide 2 plays an anti-inflammatory role by inhibiting inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6). A biolayer interferometry (BLI) assay indicated that peptide 2 binds to LPS with strong affinity and that this interaction has an affinity constant (KD) value of 1.05 × 10−9 M. A survival study showed that peptide 2 possesses potent LPS-neutralizing activity to protect LPS-treated mice from death. In conclusion, we have identified a potent peptide with LPS neutralizing activity, which lays a foundation for future research and development. © 2021 Elsevier Inc.
