โฆ Synopsis
Electrospray mass spectrometry and automated Edman sequencing provides the structures of two new caerin 1 antimicrobial peptides from the skin glands of the Australian tree frog Litoria chloris. These are: caerin 1.8 Gly Leu Phe Lys Val Leu Gly Ser Val Ala Lys His Leu Leu Pro His Val Val Pro Val Ile Ala Glu Lys Leu (NH2), and caerin 1.9, Gly Leu Phe Gly Val Leu Gly Ser Ile Ala Lys His Val Leu Pro His Val Val Pro Val Ile Ala Glu Lys Leu (NH2).

## Sixteen caerulein-type peptides have been isolated from the skin secretions of the Australian Blue Mountains tree frog Litoria citropa. There are four groups of these peptides. The first is based on the structure of the known neuropeptide caerulein [pEQDY(SO 3 )TGWMDF-NH 2 ], now renamed caerul
Sixteen aurein peptides are present in the host defence secretion from the granular dorsal glands of the Green and Golden Bell Frog Litoria aureus and seventeen from those of the related Southern Bell Frog Litoria raniformis. All peptides have been sequenced using a combination of electrospray mass
