Abstract

In recent years, bioactive peptide drugs have attracted growing attention due to the increasing difficulty in developing new drugs with novel chemical structures. In addition, many diseases are linked to excessive oxidation in the human body. Therefore, the role of peptides with antioxidant activity in counteracting diseases related to oxidative stress is worth exploring. Amphibians are a major repository for bioactive peptides that protect the skin from biotic and abiotic stresses, such as microbial infection and radiation injury. We characterized the first amphibian- derived gene-encoded antioxidant peptides in 2008. Since then, a variety of antioxidant peptides have been detected in different amphibian species. In this work, the physicochemical properties of antioxidant peptides identified from amphibians are reviewed for the first time, particularly acquisition methods, amino acid characteristics, antioxidant mechanisms, and application prospects. This review should provide a reference for advancing the identification, structural analysis, and potential therapeutic value of natural antioxidant peptides.

Keywords: Amphibians, antioxidant peptides, antioxidant, peptide drugs, bioactive peptide drugs, abiotic stresses.
