Rhinovirus inhibition by bufadienolides.
Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 1988 An evaluation of thirty-four bufadienolides and two related cardenolides against a series of rhinoviruses in vitro has been completed. Most of the bufadienolides were found to display some inhibitory activity. Scillarenin and 3-O-[N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)hydrazido]succinylbufalin were found to be the most active with chemotherapeutic indices of 32 and ...

Predation on invasive cane toads (Rhinella marina) by native Australian rodents [PDF]
, 2015 © 2014, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg. The success of an invasive species can be reduced by biotic resistance from the native fauna. For example, an invader that is eaten by native predators is less likely to thrive than one that is invulnerable. The

Chemical defense of toad tadpoles under risk by four predator species
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Many organisms use inducible defenses as protection against predators. In animals, inducible defenses may manifest as changes in behavior, morphology, physiology, or life history, and prey species can adjust their defensive responses based on the ...

Using genetic data to predict the vulnerability of a native predator to a toxic invader [PDF]
, 2016 Australia has no native toad species, and as a consequence, many Australian predators lack resistance to the toxins of the invasive cane toad Rhinella marina, and die if they ingest one of these toads.
