Abstract
Methanol extracts of the skin of the Brazilian frog Phyllomedusa rhodei contain approximately equal amounts of dermorphin and its analogue Hyp6-dermorphin, two opiate-like heptapeptides. A unique feature of their sequence is the presence of a D-amino acid residue at position 2. Hyp6-dermorphin possesses a spectrum of central and peripheral bioactivity very similar to that of dermorphin.Entities:
