It is well known that many multicellular organisms produce a variety of peptides, namely host defense peptides and antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), which are effective defensive weapons against a wide range of pathogens including, bacteria, fungi, enveloped viruses, protozoa, as well cancer cells. Due to their versatility and unlimited sequence space, the AMPs can be rationally designed by …
One of the major clinical problems currently is the increased resistance of microorganisms against antimicrobial agents. It is known that much of this resistance is due to the presence of a rich and complex ecosystem formed by the adhesion of one or more microbial types called biofilm. Biofilms are associated with approximately 80% of all medical infections in the world, and are highly an…
The search and prospection for new natural products has become a great source of inspiration for most active drug compounds worldwide. Molecules from amphibians, particularly anurans, represent a major source of pharmacological compounds that can provide tools for academic and applied research. Among the anurans in the Vale do Paraíba region, we can highlight the treefrog Dendropsophus mi…
