## Abstract Several algesic agents including bradykinin and tachykinin have been identified from skin secretions of amphibians. They may act in defensive roles against aggressors. In this study, a novel peptide named Amolos with an amino acid sequence of FLPIVGAKL and isolated from skin secretion o

## Abstract Maculatin 1.1 (Mac) is a cationic antibacterial peptide isolated from the dorsal glands of the tree frog, __Litoria genimaculata__, and has a sequence of GLFGVLAKVAAHVVPAIAEHF‐NH~2~. A short peptide lacking the __N__‐terminal two residues of Mac was reported to have no activity. To inve
## Abstract The development of autoantibodies against factor VIII represents one of the major complications in the treatment of hemophilia A patients. We have employed a novel library system to obtain peptides that specifically neutralize the interaction between factor VIII and these inhibitors. Th
Six peptides have been isolated and characterized from the dorsal glands of the tree frog Litoria genimaculata. One of these is the known hypotensive peptide caerulein; the others have been named maculatins. The amino acid sequences of the maculatin peptides have been determined using a combination
