ABSTRACT Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a major public health concern, accounting for more than 90% of all oral malignancies. Pathogenic bacteria, such as Streptococcus mutans , Fusobacterium nucleatum and Porphyromonas gingivalis are closely linked to OSCC promote chronic inflammation, key factor in the tumor microenvironment. The increasing incidence malignancies necessitates development antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) with enhanced anticancer activity targeted therapeutics against bacteria mitigate their impact on OSCC. A total 182 Streptomyces genus‐derived AMPs were collected analyzed silico determine potent antibacterial characteristics. Fourteen tested 3D structural alignment prediction validation, most efficient peptide was determined be sAMP2. genome‐based analysis sourced from globisporus C‐1027 conducted explore its evolutionary significance. cell‐penetrating sAMP2 optimized make it stable better able target host cellular receptors.
