Abstract
⺠Five host-defense peptides, termed hymenochirins, were isolated from skin secretions of Hymenochirus boettgeri (Pipidae). ⺠The peptides show little structural similarity with host-defense peptides from Xenopus and Silurana species. ⺠The hymenochirins display broad-spectrum antimicrobial and low hemolytic activities.
