- - Amphibians produce bioactive substances in their skin for self-protection, including toxins like batrachotoxin and tetrodotoxin, as well as antimicrobial peptides.
- - Over 2000 peptides have been identified in amphibian skin, with many showing properties like antimicrobial effects, wound healing promotion, and immunoregulation.
- - Recent research has started to explore skin peptides in salamanders and newts, highlighting their chemistry and potential clinical applications, which has been less focused on compared to frogs and toads.
