1. Pharmacological characterization of cnidarian extracts from the Caribbean Sea: evaluation of anti-snake venom and antitumor properties
Abstract Background: Cnidarians produce toxins, which are composed of different polypeptides that induce pharmacological effects of biotechnological interest, such as antitumor, antiophidic and anti-clotting activities. This study aimed to evaluate toxicological activities and potential as antitumor and antiophidic agents contained in total extracts from fi

2. cDNA and deduced primary structure of basic phospholipase A2 with neurotoxic activity from the venom secretion of the Crotalus durissus collilineatus rattlesnake
To illustrate the construction of precursor complementary DNAs, we isolated mRNAs from whole venom samples. After reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), we amplified the cDNA coding for a neurotoxic protein, phospholipase A2 D49 (PLA2 D49), from the venom of Crotalus durissus collilineatus (Cdc PLA2). The cDNA encoding Cdc PLA2 from whole

3. Estudo das atividades neurotoxica e miotoxica de uma fosfolipase A2 basica isolada do veneno total Bothrops marajoensis / Study of neurotoxic and myotoxic activities of a phospholipase A2 isolated from the Bothrops marajoensis venom
In the present work, the neuromuscular effects of the toxin Bmaj-9 isolated from the venom of Bothrops marajoensis in the laboratory of chemistry of proteins at Unicamp were studied. This toxin was assayed in biventer cervicis preparations of little chicken, phrenic diaphragm nerve of mice and in gastrocnemius muscles of mice. In birds preparation, Bmaj-9 ca

4. Isolation, purification and pharmalogical and biochemical characterization of a new PLA2 (Bp12) from Bothrops pauloensis venom / Isolamento, purificação e caracterização bioquimica e farmacologica de uma nova fosfolipase A2 (Bp12) do veneno de Bothrops pauloensis
The myotoxic effects caused by bothropics venoms are unquestionable by their exuberant clinic manifestation and are extensively related in literature, since the neurotoxic effects have been described in vitro conditions, in nerve-muscle preparations, with little or neither clinic evidence. The aim of this study was to contribute for the knowledge about the p

5. Comparative study of the hydrophobic and ionization parameters of a series of procaine derivatives with neuromuscular blocking activity / Estudo comparativo de parâmetros hipidrofóbicos e, relacionados à ionização, de série de derivados da procaína com atividade bloqueadora neuromuscular
O estudo das Relações Quantitativas entre Estrutura química e Atividade biológica (QSAR/QSAR-3D) utilizando diferentes estratégias metodológicas complementares, aplicadas iterativamente, se estende a diferentes áreas de aplicação. Dentre elas destaca-se o planejamento racional de novos fármacos e o estudo de seus mecanismos de ação. Moléculas ca

6. Capacidade neutralizante de antiveneno comercial sobre as atividades neurotoxica e miotoxica de venenos botropicos
The aim of this study was to evaluate the interspecific differences in the neurotoxic and myotoxic activities of Bothrops jararaca, Bothrops jararacussu, Bothrops moojení, Bothrops erythromelas and Bothrops neuwíedí venoms as well as their neutralization by anti-bothropic antivenom for both activities. Crotalus duríssus terríficus venom was used as a po

7. Neuromuscular transmission in myasthenia gravis studied with single fibre electromyography 1
Patients with myasthenia gravis have been investigated with single fibre electromyography. In all myasthenic muscles recordings were obtained where there was an increase of the jitter and occasional blocking of different degree of single fibre action potentials. The jitter is the variability at consecutive discharges in the time interval between action poten

8. The role of movements in the development of sutural and diarthrodial joints tested by long-term paralysis of chick embryos.
Chick embryos were paralysed in ovo with a neuromuscular blocking agent between 8 and 20 days of incubation. To evaluate the rôle of muscular activity in the development of sutural articulations, sutures of the cranial vault of control and paralysed embryos were studied histologically and the findings compared with the effect of the agent on the development

9. Alteration of the physicochemical properties of triphosphoinositide by nicotinic ligands.
The concentrations of nicotinic drugs required to effect a 50% transfer of triphosphol[3H]isositide from an aqueous phase to a nonaqueous phase closely approximated their concentrations for both in vivo neuromuscular blocking activity and binding to purified nicotinic receptors, and correlated well (correlation coefficient = 0.95)) with their biological acti

10. Conformational analysis of a toxic peptide from Trimeresurus wagleri which blocks the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor.
The 22-residue toxic peptide (WTX1) from the venom of the Southeast Asian snake Trimeresurus wagleri has multiple sites of action, but its lethal effect has been attributed to blocking the postsynaptic acetylcholine receptor at the neuromuscular junction. The 3-dimensional structure of WTX1 was studied using 2-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectrosc

11. The actions of suxamethonium (succinyldicholine) as an agonist and channel blocker at the nicotinic receptor of frog muscle.
1. Patch clamp methods were used to study the equilibrium and kinetic properties of the acetylcholine analogue, succinyldicholine (suxamethonium), which is used clinically as a neuromuscular blocking agent. 2. The equilibrium concentration-response curve, corrected for desensitization was estimated by measuring as the response the probability of being open o

12. Purification, toxicity, and antiendotoxin activity of polymyxin B nonapeptide.
Polymyxin B, a relatively toxic antibiotic, has potent endotoxin-neutralizing properties that may be beneficial as adjunctive therapy in gram-negative sepsis. Polymyxin B nonapeptide (deacylated polymyxin B) is devoid of antibiotic activity but retains the capacity to disorganize the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria. To evaluate the potential therape
