Abstract
BACKGROUND: Current approaches used to overcome microbial infections are becoming inefficient due to the overuse or misuse of antibiotics. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are one of the most promising substitutional candidates for commercial antibiotics. METHODS AND RESULTS: The publications in the field of in silico design of AMPs with focus on the wound-healing AMPs were searched though SCOPUS and PubMed. Through publications, it was reported that a number of AMPs approved for clinical use have also showed efficient wound-healing activity. Todays, the design and production of synthetic types of AMPs have attracted attention in order to expand their applications and to cope with their limitations and adverse effects. In this paper, the currently published researches in the field of AMPs and their wound-healing features were summarized and the strategies used in AMPs design and development have been reviewed. Moreover, different databases and online servers used in this regard were summarized. CONCLUSION: Design and development of active AMPs, especially those with wound-healing activity, can be performed using bioinformatics servers and software, regarding AMPs structure-activity relationships.
