Cancer therapeutics inspired by defense mechanisms in the animal kingdom

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 13, Issue 7, Page 1681-1700, August 2020., 2020
Abstract Many animals have evolved toxins to defend themselves from predators and hunt prey. These toxins have been honed over millions of years by the unique selective pressures on each organism leading to a vast array of potent bioactive compounds, many of which have therapeutic potential.

Peptides as a Therapeutic Alternative Against Leishmaniasis: A Scoping Review

Chemical Biology &Drug Design, Volume 107, Issue 5, May 2026.
This scoping review of 79 studies identified 231 antimicrobial peptides with anti‐Leishmania activity, including natural‐derived and synthetic peptides (inspired by natural sources or developed through rational design). Most were evaluated in vitro against promastigote and/or amastigote forms, with synthetic peptides showing a more promising effect ...
