Melittin free acid, a basic 26-amino-acid polypeptide, constitutes the primary active component of honeybee venom and serves as a phospholipase A2 (PLA2) activator. Exhibiting a broad-spectrum antifungal effect, it presents MIC values ranging from 0.4-60 μM. Its mechanism includes inducing cell apoptosis, inhibiting (1,3)-β-D-glucan synthase, and engaging in multiple pathways [1] [2].

Jingzhaotoxin-II, a neurotoxin composed of 32 amino acid residues featuring two acidic and two basic residues, selectively inhibits voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSC), notably slowing the rapid inactivation of TTX-resistant (TTX-R) VGSC in cardiac myocytes, with an IC50 of 0.26 μM [1].

[Leu144,Arg147]-PLP (139-151) is a mutated fragment of the myelin proteolipid protein (PLP), featuring substitutions of tryptophan to leucine and histidine to arginine at positions 144 and 147, respectively. Immunizing mice with this peptide (50 µg) mixed in complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) elevates IL-4 levels in the spleen. While it suppresses Th1 cell activation in vitro, it does not do so in vivo; instead, it promotes the development of regulatory T cells.
