Identification and pharmaceutical evaluation of novel frog skin-derived serine proteinase inhibitor peptide–PE-BBI (Pelophylax esculentus Bowman-Birk inhibitor) for the potential treatment of cancer

Abstract Amphibian venom-derived peptides have high potential in the field of anticancer drug discovery. We have isolated a novel Bowman-Birk proteinase inhibitor (BBI)-type peptide from the skin secretion of Pelophylax esculentus (PE) named PE-BBI, and evaluated its bio-functions and anti-cancer ac...
