Salamandra atra

The European fire salamander (Salamandra salamandra) and the alpine salamander (Salamandra atra) are the only amphibians known to contain samandarine alkaloids. These are the only two species in this genus. The proposal that extracts of the brilliant black and yellow Australian myobatrachid frog Pseudophryne corroboree contained samandarine alkaloids (52) has proved to be incorrect, and this and other frogs of the genus Pseudophryne instead contain pumiliotoxins and pseudophrynamines (see Sections III,C and VII, A). The major alkaloids of Salamandra salamandra are samandarine, samandarone, and 0-acetylsamandarine. There do not...

Salamander toxins toxins secreted 1 the skin glands of Salamandra maculosa (European fire salamander) and Salamandra atra (alpine salamander). S.t. include the Salamander alkaloids (see), biogenic amines (tryptamine, S-hydroxytryptamine), and high M, substances that cause skin irritation and hemolysis. 

Salamander steroid alkaktids. Toxic compounds from skin gland secretions of salamanders, e, g. the fire salamander (Salamandra maculosa) and the alpine salamander (S. atra) that are produced as defensive substances against bacteria and fungi. About 10 of these toxins have been reported to date, they are all derived from 3-aza-A-homo-5/S-androstane. An important example is samandarine, which possesses an unusual ox-...
