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

Pharmacology and biochemistry of spider venoms
Toxicon, 2002Spider venoms represent an incredible source of biologically active substances which selectively target a variety of vital physiological functions in both insects and mammals. Many toxins isolated from spider venoms have been invaluable in helping to determine the role and diversity of neuronal ion channels and the process of exocytosis.

Venomous Snake and Spider Bites in Pregnancy
Obstetrical & Gynecological Survey, 2021Importance Venomous snake and spider bites are relatively rare in the Unites States and even more so in the pregnant population. However, the impact of a venomous bite, also known as an envenomation, can be serious in a pregnant patient.

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,

Latarcins: versatile spider venom peptides
Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2015Arthropod venoms feature the presence of cytolytic peptides believed to act synergetically with neurotoxins to paralyze prey or deter aggressors. Many of them are linear, i.e., lack disulfide bonds. When isolated from the venom, or obtained by other means, these peptides exhibit common properties.

Assay of Spider Venom and Antivenene in Drosophila
Nature, 1956DURING studies on the toxicity of the venom of the Australian red back spider (L. hasseltii) it was found that the venom injected into Drosophila causes paralysis of the insect. This effect has been utilized for assaying antivenene.
