RESUMO

The effects produced by Phoneutria nigriventer("armed spider") venom (PNV) in rabbit vascular smooth musc1e have been investigated. De endothelialized vascular strips were superfused in a cascade system with oxygenated (95% O2 /5% C02) and warmed (37°C) Krebs solution at 5 rnl/min. PNV (0.3-30 µg) produced dose-dependent contractions in both venous and arterial tissues (cava, mesenteric and jugular veins and puImonazy, mesenteric and coeliac arteries, respectively). Methysergide did not s1gniflcantly a:ffect PNV-induced contractions in venous tissues or Í Il puImonazy artery ind1cating that serotonin 1s not involved. Furthermore, d1alysis of the venom for up to 48 h d1d not alter th1s contractile activity. Ne1ther tetrodotoxin nor phenoxybenzamine s1gnificantly affected PNV induced contractlons suggesting that voltage-dependent sodium channel actlvatlon and endogenous catecholamine release from vessel wall autonomic nerve endings are also Í10t involved in the PNV response. The incubatlon with trypsin reduced significantly PNV-induced contractions. suggesting that the venom contains polypeptides Following gel-filtration, 10n-exchange chromatography and trtcine SDS- PAGE electrophoresis of the PNV, 8 fractlons (mw 8-50 kDa) with contractile activity were isolated
