Caerulein 88, which was isolated from skin extracts from the Australian tree frog Hyla caerula, has a longer-lasting antihypertensive activity than bradykinin or physalaemin. It causes a contraction of the gallbladder and bile ducts, and stimulates... [Pg.141]

The Australian tree frog (Litoria splendida) is native to Western Australia and spends much of its day in caves. The first anuran (frog or toad) pheromone was identified in this species. [Pg.242]

The Australian magnificent tree frog breeds in the water, where males court females. A peptide, now called splendipherin, has been extracted from the male parotid and rostral glands and found to attract females in glass tanks at concentrations of approximately 10-13 moll-1.75 This pheromone attracts females from distances of up to a meter within minutes. [Pg.242]

Cebid monkeys are all arboreal tree dwellers that feed on leaves, fruit, birds eggs, tree frogs, and bark-dwelling insects and their larvae. The night monkey or douroucouh (Aotus trivirgatus), is the only nocturnal New World monkey the rest are diurnal, or active during the day. [Pg.541]

P NMR has been used to investigate the effects of three anti-microbial peptides isolated from Australian tree frogs Litoria caerulea and L. genimacu-lata on the cell membranes of Bacillus cereus and Staphylococcus epidermidis. The wide-spectrum antibiotic peptides caerin 1.1 and maculatin 1.1 disrupted cell membranes causing an increase in the isotropic P NMR signal. However, caerin 4.1, a narrow-spectrum antibiotic, did not affect the P spectra of these bacteria. ... [Pg.393]

ESI-TOF/MS is a valuable technique for determination of TTX, although it is not widely used so far in marine toxin determination. In this analysis, a portion of purified TTX (less than 0.05 mg) is dissolved in a small amount of 1% acetic acid, and added to 50% aqueous methanol. ESI-TOF/MS is taken on a Micromass Q-Tof Mass Spectrometer (Tokyo). Recently, TTX in a tree frog Polypedates sp. extract has been successfully analyzed by ESI-TOF/MS analysis (Tanu et al, 2001). As shown in Figure 14, in the spectrum of the toxin, protonated molecular ion peak (M -f H)" " appeared at m/z = 320.1103, suggesting the molecular weight of the toxin to be 319.1025 which agrees well with that of authentic TTX (CnHivNjOs = 319.1016). [Pg.193]
