Pharmacology of Phyllomedusa Bicolor

 

At least 27 unique peptides have been identified in 8 different peptide families

The follow is general information on the bioactive peptides. For further reading and information, scroll down to a library of links below.

Adenoreguli & Dermaseptin & (B2) - Anti-microbial peptides that exhibit lethal effects against a broad spectrum of bacteria, fungi, yeasts and protozoa. There is growing research on the effectiveness of these peptides killing certain cancer cells. The effects that these peptides are having on the human brain are opening treatments for depression, stroke, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.

Studies have explored dermaseptins ability to destroy on contact pathogens such as E.coli, salmonella, gonorrhea, herpes viruses, HIV, candida albicans, and even malaria-causing protozoans. Dermaseptins have a promising future as medications given their ability to kill pathogens selectively without harming animal cells.

Deltorphin - A heptapeptide that binds to the opioid receptors. Currently being researched for its ability to inhibit the growth of cancerous tumor cells.

Dermorphin - A neuropeptide that produces a powerful opiate-like effect on certain Opioid receptors. It has been know to be up to 40 x more potent than morphine.

Phyllocaerulein ~ A natural pain killer that reduces blood pressure, modifies satiety, sedation, and thermoregulation. It assists in diminishing sensations of pain, helps with sedation and thermoregulation (regulation of body temperature). It stimulates the pituitary gland and the adrenal cortex, and stimulates the adrenal cortex and pituitary gland while causing gall bladder contractions (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov) and secretion of gastric and pancreatic juices.

Phyllokinin - Produces a long-lasting reduction in blood pressure. It is a vasodilator (helps widen the blood vessels), increasing permeability of the blood-brain barrier (Increases the rate and flow of a layer of specialized cells around the brain that protects it) and can cause a rapid drop in blood pressure. It also interacts with the bradykinnin system, which causes relaxation of smooth muscle (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)

Phyllomedusin - A neuropeptide which strongly affects intestines, salivary glands and bowels helping to flush deep toxins.

Sauvagine - influences cortico-releasing-hormone system and the pituitary-adrenal axis, which is important for modulating stress, mood and impulsive behavior. Sauvagine also causes intense tachycardia, or increase of heart rate. (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)

Phyllolitorin ~  stimulates gastric acid secretion and smooth muscle contraction.

Tryptophyllins - has anti-microbial properties which have been found to inhibit the growth of yeast Candida Albicans, Staphylococcus aureus and E. coli.
