Preliminary cryocrystallography analysis of an eumenine mastoparan toxin isolated from the venom of the wasp Anterhynchium flavomarginatum micado
(Elsevier B.V., 2001-02-09)
Mastoparans are tetradecapeptides found to be the major component of vespid venoms. These peptides present a wide spectrum of biological activities, such as mast cell degranulation, hemolytic activity and also reveals ...
Structure-activity relationship of mastoparan analogs: effects of the number and positioning of Lys residues on secondary structure, interaction with membrane-mimetic systems and biological activity
(Elsevier B. V., 2015-05-02)
In this study, a series of mastoparan analogs were engineered based on the strategies of Ala and Lys scanning in relation to the sequences of classical mastoparans. Ten analog mastoparans, presenting from zero to six Lys ...
Study of mastoparan analog peptides against Candida albicans and safety in zebrafish embryos (Danio rerio)
(2019-09-01)
Aim: In this work, mastoparan analog peptides from wasp venom were tested against Candida albicans and safety assays were performed using cell culture and model zebrafish. Materials & methods: Minimal inhibitory concentration ...
Trypanocidal activity of mastoparan from Polybia paulista wasp venom by interaction with TcGAPDH
(Elsevier B.V., 2017-10-01)
Chagas disease, considered a neglected disease, is a parasitic infection caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, which is endemic throughout the world. Previously, the antimicrobial effect of Mastoparan (MP) from Polybia paulista ...

Characterization of two novel polyfunctional mastoparan peptides from the venom of the social wasp Polybia paulista
(Elsevier B.V., 2009-08-01)
Hymenoptera venoms are complex mixtures of biochemically and pharmacologically active components such as biogenic amines, peptides and proteins. Polycationic peptides generally constitute the largest group of Hymenoptera ...
The effect of acidic residues and amphipathicity on the lytic activities of mastoparan peptides studied by fluorescence and CD spectroscopy
(Springer, 2011-01-01)
Some mastoparan peptides extracted from social wasps display antimicrobial activity and some are hemolytic and cytotoxic. Although the cell specificity of these peptides is complex and poorly understood, it is believed ...
