Spider-Venom Peptides as Therapeutics [PDF]
Toxins, 2010 Spiders are the most successful venomous animals and the most abundant terrestrial predators. Their remarkable success is due in large part to their ingenious exploitation of silk and the evolution of pharmacologically complex venoms that ensure rapid subjugation of prey.

Toxicon, 2002 The spider Cupiennius salei needs 0.01-10 microl venom to kill a prey item. Since its venom glands contain only 10 microl and regeneration requires 8-16 days C. salei should use its venom very economically.

Spider-Venom Peptides as Bioinsecticides [PDF]
Toxins, 2012 Over 10,000 arthropod species are currently considered to be pest organisms. They are estimated to contribute to the destruction of ~14% of the world’s annual crop production and transmit many pathogens. Presently, arthropod pests of agricultural and health significance are controlled predominantly through the use of chemical insecticides ...

Pharmacology of spider venom toxins
Toxin Reviews, 2014 Spider venom is an intricate combination of target specific enzymatic and non-enzymatic toxins. In addition, the venom also contains polyamine neurotoxins, ATP, AMP, ADP, guanosine, 2,4,6-trihydroxy purine, γ-aminobutyric acid, glutamic acid, aspartic ...

Spider Venoms and Spider Toxins
Journal of Toxicology: Toxin Reviews, 1998AbstractSpider venoms and toxins are useful tools for the study of ion channels and synaptic functions of neurons in vertebrates and invertebrates. The components of spider venom, such as proteins, peptides, polyamines and bioamines, are species-specific. The various functions of these toxins are reviewed in this paper.

Molecular diversity of spider venom
Biochemistry (Moscow), 2009Spider venom, a factor that has played a decisive role in the evolution of one of the most successful groups of living organisms, is reviewed. Unique molecular diversity of venom components including substances of variable structure (from simple low molecular weight compounds to large multidomain proteins) with different functions is considered ...

Funnelweb–Spider Venom Antagonist
Medical Journal of Australia, 1980It was found in a series of experiments on anaesthetized monkeys that rat plasma and rat euglobulin fractions contain a substance which could offer some protection against funnelweb-spider envenomation when administered before envenomation or simultaneously with the funnelweb-spider venom. Further work to isolate, identify, and purify this substance is
