Bioactive molecules from amphibian skin: their biological activities with reference to therapeutic potentials for possible drug development.

Antony Gomes1, Biplab Giri, Archita Saha, R Mishra, Subir C Dasgupta, A Debnath, Aparna Gomes.   

Abstract

The amphibian skin contains various bioactive molecules (peptides, proteins, steroids, alkaloids, opiods) that possess potent therapeutic activities like antibacterial, antifungal, antiprotozoal, antidiabetic, antineoplastic, analgesic and sleep inducing properties. Research on amphibian skin derived biomolecules can provide potential clue towards newer drug development to combat various pathophysiological conditions. An overview on the bioactive molecules of various amphibian skins has been discussed.
