Neurotoxic kinins from wasp and ant venoms
Toxicon, 1991Kinins are polypeptides of 9-18 amino-acid residues containing a bradykinin-like sequence, in some cases as part of a molecule. The bradykinin-like sequence is either bradykinin, Hyp3-bradykinin or Thr6-bradykinin. Kinins are neurotoxic components of wasp and ant venoms, causing in the insect CNS a presynaptic block of the cholinergic transmission by ...

Chemistry of venom alkaloids in the ant genusMegalomyrmex
Journal of Chemical Ecology, 1991Chemical analyses of three species in the Neotropical ant genusMegalomyrmex have identified this taxon as the third myrmicine genus to produce alkaloids as major venom products. Workers ofM. leoninus and workers and ergatoids ofM. goeldii produce one or more of fourtrans-2,5-dialkylpyrrolidines previously identified in other myrmicine genera.M ...

Hypersensitivity to Fire Ant Venom
Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, 1996Reading this article will reinforce the reader's knowledge of the taxonomy, origin, and distribution of fire ants and will increase his ability to diagnose and manage reactions caused by the two imported species, Solenopsis invicta and richteri. This review will also enhance the reader's knowledge of the available diagnostic methods and therapeutic ...

The chemistry of fire ant venom
Tetrahedron, 1971Abstract Five alkaloids, three trans-2-methyl-6-alkylpiperidines, and two unsaturated analogues, have been identified in the venom of the red form of the fire ant, Solenopsis saevissima. The compounds are represented by the structural formulae I–V. Each has been prepared synthetically.

Alkaloids in the venom of Messor ants
Biochemical Systematics and Ecology, 2006Tobacco alkaloids of the anabasine type have been found or confirmed in the venom of five species of arid-dwelling Messor ants. They are frequently accompanied by alkylpyrazines. Messor mediorubra contains four alkaloids, with anabasine the major component and also minor pyrazines.

Deciphering the Molecular Diversity of an Ant Venom Peptidome through a Venomics Approach
Journal of Proteome Research, 2018The peptide toxins in the venoms of small invertebrates such as stinging ants have rarely been studied due to the limited amount of venom available per individual. We used a venomics strategy to identify the molecular diversity of the venom peptidome for the myrmicine ant Tetramorium bicarinatum.

Venom and Venom Apparatus of the Bull Ant, Myrmecia gulosa (Fabr.)
Science, 1964The venom of Myrmecia gulosa (Myrmeciinae, Formicidae) is of a proteinaceous type and is separated by electrophoresis into eight components. The venom contains histamine, a hyaluronidase, and a direct hemolytic factor. It also shows kinin-like activity.
