DNA in Amphibian and Reptile Venom Permits Access to Genomes without Specimen Sacrifice [PDF]
Genomics Insights, 2008 Amphibian defensive skin secretions and reptile venoms are rich sources of bioactive peptides with potential pharmacological/pharmaceutical applications. As amphibian and reptile populations are in rapid global decline, our research group has been developing analytical methods that permit generation of robust molecular data from non-invasive skin ...

PROTEINS OF PAROTOID GLAND SECRETIONS FROM TOADS OF THE GENUS BUFO [PDF]
, 2000 Freeze-dried parotoid gland secretions from toads of the genus Bufo contained large proportions of protein (25-35% by weight). SDS-PAGE suggested that secretions from several species of Bufo contained mixtures of proteins in the relative molecular mass ...

Venom-based medicines: Advancing drug discovery with reptile and amphibian venom peptides [PDF]
The Biochemist, 2009 Amphibian skin has long been known by humans to possess intriguing biological properties and scientific examination of these secretions has revealed that their components possess a range of medical properties. In Japan and China, toad venom has been used as an expectorant, anti-haemorrhagic, diuretic and cardiac stimulant, and some peptides in the ...

MALDI-MS argininyl bufadienolide esters fingerprint from parotoid gland secretions of Rhinella arenarum : age, gender and seasonal variation [PDF]
, 2018 In many amphibians, the granular glands can be grouped in special regions forming macroglands. This is the case of toads, characterized by the presence of a pair of parotoid macroglands, strategically located to give protection by poison release in case ...
