Amphibian skin is directly exposed to different environments. Amphibians interact with
environmental factors including microorganisms, parasites, predators, and physical factors …

Production of peptides with various effects from proteins of different sources continues to
receive academic attention. Researchers of different disciplines are putting increasing efforts …

Amphibians are widely distributed on different continents, except for the polar regions. They
are important sources for the isolation, purification and characterization of natural …

Background With the increasing rate of antibiotic resistance in Acinetobacter, the World
Health Organization introduced the carbapenem-resistant isolates in the priority pathogens …

Skin secretions from frogs belonging to the genera Xenopus, Silurana, Hymenochirus, and
Pseudhymenochirus in the family Pipidae are a rich source of host-defense peptides with …

Introduction: The emergence of multidrug-resistant microorganisms has necessitated a
search for new antimicrobial agents. Skin secretions of many frog species contain peptides …

Pathogenic bacteria cause the deaths of millions of people every year. With the
development of antibiotics, hundreds and thousands of people's lives have been saved …

Several frog skin peptides, first identified as result of their antimicrobial or
immunomodulatory activities, have subsequently been shown to stimulate insulin release …

The aim of this article is to review the immunoregulatory actions of frog skin-derived peptides
in order to assess their potential as candidates for immunomodulatory or anti-inflammatory …

Abstract Pseudhymenochirin-1Pb (Ps-1Pb) and pseudhymenochirin-2Pa (Ps-2Pa) are host-
defense peptides, first isolated from skin secretions of the frog Pseudhymenochirus merlini …
