Amphibian Venoms (Batrachian)
Amphibian venoms (Batrachian), particularly frog skin secretions, are a unique source of potent alkaloids (e.g., batrachotoxin) and a wide range of bioactive peptides. They are used in pharmacology to analyze neurotoxins, modulate sodium ion channels, and identify new antimicrobial or cardioactive peptides for therapeutic applications. Are you researching sodium channel function or looking for new antibiotic peptides (e.g., magainins)? Find specific compounds isolated from amphibians here.
Amphibian venoms (Batrachian venoms) are unique skin secretions used for defense. They are a rich source of potent alkaloids and antimicrobial peptides (AMPs).
Key Molecules
- Alkaloids: Batrachotoxin (BTX) – an irreversible sodium channel modulator and fundamental neuroscientific tool.
- AMPs: Peptides like Magainins, researched as potential novel antibiotics against resistant bacteria.
- Cardiovascular Research: Bradykinins with potent effects on blood pressure.
