What is LL-37?
LL-37 is an investigational compound based on a natural antimicrobial peptide found in human immune cells. It acts as part of the body’s first line of defense against pathogens. Researchers are studying LL-37 for its potential to break down bacterial cell walls, neutralize toxins, and promote wound healing by stimulating immune cells and new blood vessel growth.
Common Uses
In preclinical research, LL-37 was associated with broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
Research suggests LL-37 acts on skin cells to promote cell migration, new blood vessel formation, and wound closure.
Preclinical research indicates LL-37 may support immune function by recruiting immune cells to sites of infection or injury.
In laboratory studies, LL-37 was associated with breaking down bacterial biofilms, which can make infections harder to treat.
