摘要
By means of chromatographic techniques, a novel anionic peptide, named otacidin, was isolated from the skin secretions of tree Brazilian anurans Osteocephalus taurinus. The de novo sequencing of the amino acids was performed by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS/MS) analyses. The antimicrobial potential of this novel metabolite was evaluated against Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, being observed minimum inhibitory concentration (MICs) of 37.4 and 78.4 mM, respectively. This work is just the second report of an antimicrobial anionic peptide from an amphibian.
