Distribution of Bungarus multicinctus venom following envenomation
Toxicon, 1966The distribution of the venom of Bungarus multicinctus and its purified toxins (α- and β-Bungarotoxin) in animals has been studied either by bioassay method or using I131-labeled preparations. Although radioactivity could be detected in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of rabbits after intravenous injection of 1 mg per kg of the venom or the toxins, the ...

[Textual research on Bungarus Parvus].
Zhongguo Zhong yao za zhi = Zhongguo zhongyao zazhi = China journal of Chinese materia medica, 2023Bungarus Parvus, a precious animal Chinese medicinal material used in clinical practice, is believed to be first recorded in Ying Pian Xin Can published in 1936. This study was carried out to analyze the names, geographical distribution, morphological characteristics, ecological habits, poisonousness, and medicinal parts by consulting ancient Chinese ...

Isolation of “ceruleotoxin” from Bungarus fasciatus venoms
Toxicon, 1982Ceruleotoxin is a potent neurotoxin which irreversibly blocks the neuromuscular transmission at a postsynaptic level, without preventing the binding of acetylcholine to its receptor. We have originally purified this toxin from a batch of venom obtained from the Pasteur Institute, which was thought to be Bungarus caeruleus venom.

A nucleoside isolated from the venom of Bungarus multicinctus
Toxicon, 1965During isolation of neurotoxins from the venom of Bungarus multicinctus by means of zone electrophoresis on starch, a non-protein fraction was found in addition to the 4 protein fractions obtained previously. It shows maximum absorbance at 252 mμ, positive Molisch's test for sugar and orcinol test for pentose, but negative Loring's test for phosphate ...

Toxicon, 2015
Kraits are venomous snakes of genus Bungarus from family Elapidae. Krait venoms are generally neurotoxic, but toxicity strongly depends on the particular species and regional origin of snakes. We analyzed the proteomes of Vietnamese Bungarus multicinctus and Bungarus fasciatus venoms both qualitatively and quantitatively.

κ-Bungarotoxin (Bungarus multicinctus)
1997Abstract κ-Bgt is a 66 amino acid protein that shares considerable sequence homology with a-Bgt (Grant and Chiappinelli 1985; Fig. 1). It is the prototype of a family of neurotoxins that includes κ2-Bgt and κ3-Bgt (from Bungarus multicinctus; Chiappinelli et al. 1990) and K-flavitoxin (from Bungarus flaviceps; Chiappinelli et al.

Isolation of the major lethal toxin in the venom of Bungarus flaviceps
Toxicon, 2002The major lethal toxin in the venom of Bungarus flaviceps has been isolated by ion-exchange chromatography, absorption chromatography and RP-HPLC with a 14-fold purification and an overall yield of 16.5% of the lethal toxicity contained in crude venom. Its sublethal dose (LD(50)) determined in mice weighing 18-20 g was 0.25 (0.19-0.32) microg per mouse.

β-Bungarotoxin (Bungarus multicinctus)
1997Abstract At motor nerve terminals β-Bgt induces a triphasic change in neurotransmitter release, which varies with animal models and experimental conditions: an initial reduction in meep frequency, e.g. decrease in transmitter release, is followed by a phase of an increase and, finally, by a complete inhibition of release (Harris 1991 ...

α-Bungarotoxin (Bungarus multicinctus)
1997Abstract α-Bgtx is a single polypeptide containing 74 amino acids cross-linked by five disulfide bridges (Fig. 1). Its complete amino acid sequence was reported in 1972 (Mebs et al. 1972) and is homologous to that of other a-toxins obtained from cobra and sea snakes; in fact on the basis of their amino acid sequences, more than 80 ...

Characterization of polypeptide neurotoxins from the venom of Bungarus caeruleus
Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 1978Abstract The venom of the krait Bungarus caeruleus has been fractionated into several components. Two of the basic components were highly toxic to mice and had significant levels of phospholipase A activity. These components appear to be similar in their action to the presynaptic neurotoxin β-bungarotoxin.
