Dermorphin, a heptapeptide with very potent opiate-like activity, has been isolated from methanol extracts of the skin of the South American frog Phyllomedusa sauvagei. The amino acid sequence of the peptide is: H-Try-D-Ala-Phe-Gly-Tyr-Pro-Ser-NH2. Dermorphin presents striking differences from the known enkephalins; it offers a surprising example of a peptide from Vertebrata containing a D-amino acid residue in its sequence.
皮啡肽是一种具有很强类阿片活性的七肽，已从南美蛙（Phyllomedusa sauvagei）皮肤的甲醇提取物中分离出来。该肽的氨基酸序列为：H-酪氨酰-D-丙氨酰-苯丙氨酰-甘氨酰-酪氨酰-脯氨酰-丝氨酰胺。皮啡肽与已知的脑啡肽存在显著差异；它提供了一个脊椎动物来源的肽序列中含有D-氨基酸残基的惊人例子。
