Structure and pharmacology of spider venom neurotoxins
Biochimie, 2000Spider venoms are complex mixtures of neurotoxic peptides, proteins and low molecular mass organic molecules. Their neurotoxic activity is due to the interaction of the venom components with cellular receptors, in particular ion channels. Spider venoms have proven to be a rich source of highly specific peptide ligands for selected subtypes of potassium,

Neuroactive Toxins of Spider Venoms
Journal of Toxicology: Toxin Reviews, 1991AbstractA variety of neuroactive toxins have been found in the venom of spiders. The venom of Latrodectus mactans(black widow spider) is known as a potent neurotoxin, fatal to humans and animals. The effective component, α-latrotoxin (Mr=130,000) acts on the nerve terminals, causing massive release of transmitters and depletion of the synaptic vesicles,

The Acylpolyamines from Spider Venoms
2012Abstract Acylpolyamines are low molecular mass toxins occurring exclusively in the venoms from solitary wasps and some groups of spiders. Their chemical structures have been elucidated using hyphenated techniques of mass spectrometry, such as LC–MS and MS/MS, or through direct analysis with different types of NMR analyses.

Spider Venoms and Their Effect
1987In principle, with the exception of some groups of spiders which have no venom glands at all (e.g. Uloboridae and Holarchaea) all spiders with any kind of venom apparatus must be considered as venomous, if not always for man, then perhaps for other animals, or at least for insects, their usual prey.

The Venom of Australian Spiders
2015Australia is home to an estimated 10,000 species of spider, including species from the Latrodectus genera and Atracinae family, two of the four widely recognized medically significant spider groups. It is predicted in excess of 5,000 spider bite cases occurring annually in Australia, predominantly by spiders that have not shown any medical relevance ...
