This study evaluated antimicrobial and hemolytic activities of mastoparan-B (MP-B) isolated
from the venom of the hornet, Vespa basalis, and its analogs after substituting certain amino …

The in vitro activity of mastoparan-AF, an amphipathic antimicrobial peptide isolated from the
hornet venom of Vespa affinis, alone and in combination with various clinically used …

Mastoparans from the venom of social wasps have attracted considerable attention as
effective antibiotic candidates. In this study, mastoparan V1 (MP-V1) from Vespula vulgaris …

Vespa crabro and V. analis are social hornet species commonly found in Asia, including
Korea. Mastoparan is one of the major venom peptides of these two hornets but its amino …

Mastoparans, a family of small peptides, are isolated from the wasp venom. In this study, six
mastoparans were identified in the venom of six Vespa species in Taiwan. The precursors of …

Mastoparan B (MP‐B), an antimicrobial cationic tetradecapeptide amide isolated from the
venom of the hornet Vespa basalis, is an amphiphilic α‐helical peptide. MP‐B possesses a …

Biologically active peptides have attracted increasing attention in research on the
development of new drugs. Mastoparans, a group of wasp venom linear cationic α-helical …

Abstract Mastoparan B (MP-B) that is a novel MP isolated from the hornet Vespa basalis,
was studied as compared with MP, in terms of interaction with phospholipid bilayer and …

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are a major threat to global public health, and there is an urgent
need to find effective, antimicrobial treatments that can be well tolerated by humans. Hornet …

Mastoparan B is a cationic, amphiphilic tetradecapeptide toxin isolated from the venom of
the black-bellied hornet (Vespa basalis), the most dangerous species of wasps found in …
