Cytotoxic effects of arthropod venoms on various cultured cells
Toxicon, 1998The action of arthropod venoms is important to predators in search of prey and to humans as incidental victims or as a source for pharmacologically active compounds. Venoms from 30 arthropods (including 26 spider species) were assessed for cytotoxicity using cultured cells from one insect (Sf9) and three mammalian (murine neuroblastoma and macrophages ...

Arthropod venoms: A vast arsenal of insecticidal neuropeptides
Biopolymers, 2012AbstractArthropods are the most diverse animal group on the planet, and occupy almost all ecological niches. Venomous arthropods are a rich source of bioactive compounds evolved for prey capture and defense against predators and/or microorganisms. These highly potent chemical arsenals represent an available source for new insecticidal compounds as they

5-Hydroxytryptamine content of some arthropod venoms and venom-containing parts
Toxicon, 1963Abstract The venom or venom-containing parts of 30 species of arthropods from North and South America were examined for their content of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT). The characteristic fluorescence of 5-HT was used in its identification and quantitative estimation. No 5-HT was detected in venom or telsons of 7 species of scorpions. Venoms of 5 spiders

Arthropod toxins and their antinociceptive properties: From venoms to painkillers
Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 2018 The complex process of pain control commonly involves the use of systemic analgesics; however, in many cases, a more potent and effective polypharmacological approach is needed to promote clinically significant improvement. Additionally, considering side effects caused by current painkillers, drug discovery is once more turning to nature as a source of

Antinociceptive peptides from venomous arthropods
Toxin Reviews, 2022Many analgesic peptides have been isolated from arthropod species such as spiders and scorpions and their three-dimensional structures, which are typically stabilized by several disulfide-bonds, correlate with their activity and molecular targets.
