Abstract: The invention provides cell penetrating peptide-nucleic acid conjugates having the formula P-L-N, wherein P is a cell penetrating peptide, N is a nucleic acid, preferably an oligonucleotide and more preferably a siRNA, and L is a hydrophilic polymer, preferably a polyethylene glycol (PEG)-based linker linking P and N together. Compositions, methods of use and methods for producing such conjugates are also disclosed.

Abstract: The invention relates to chimeric polypeptides comprising a lysosomal peptide fused or conjugated to at least one cell-penetrating peptide (CPP). Also provided by the invention are methods for treating a subject suffering from lysosomal storage disorders (LSD).

Abstract: The invention relates to an anti-bacterial composition, especially for controlling gram-negative bacteria, containing a combination of: a) at least one peptide of between 10 and 25 amino acid residues comprising: i) two positively charged domains with a neutral pH consisting of between 3 and 9 amino acid residues, at least two thirds thereof being cationic amino acids, ii) a group of two to three non-cationic amino acid residues located between said positively charged domains, iii) a group of between 0 and 10, preferably between 0 and 5, amino acid residues selected from the group comprising non-hydrophobic amino acids and positively charged amino acids, located at one of the terminal ends N or C of the peptide, a positively charged amino acid residue, however, not being directly adjacent to the positively charged domains; and b) at least one anti-bacterial compound.
