This inflammatory peptide (IDWKKLLDAAKQIL), related to mastoparan, has been isolated from the venom of the social wasp Polybia paulista (Souza et al, 2005). Polybia-MPI is a mast cell lytic peptide, which causes no hemolysis to rat erythrocytes and is chemotactic for polymorphonucleated leukocytes. It possesses potent antimicrobial action both against Gram-positive bacteria and Gram-negative bacteria (Luong et al, 2017; de Souza et al, 2009), fungi (Wang et al, 2014), and the Trypanosoma cruzi parasite (Vinhote et al, 2017) and low hemolytic activity (Zhang et al, 2010; Luong et al, 2017).
