Urticaria Induced by Ingestion of Anemonia sulcata

The Stimulus to Feeding in Anemonia Sulcata

First evidence of antimicrobial activity of neurotoxin 2 from Anemonia sulcata (Cnidaria)

We investigated the antibacterial activity of Anemonia sulcata (Cnidaria, Anthozoa) tentacle and body acidic extracts. Biochemical purification consisted of first step on solid phase Sep-Pak C8 column followed by several HPLC runs on C18 column using different conditions. Anti-Micrococcus lysodeikticus activity has been detected in 40 % acetonitrile fractions. The resulting purified molecule fr...

Urticaria induced by antihistamines.

H1-antihistamines are commonly used drugs, and probably the most frequently used for allergic diseases. They are pharmacologic inverse agonists of histamine at H1 receptor sites and try to shift the equilibrium of this receptor toward the inactive state, preventing H1 response. A wide variety of adverse effects have been attributed to antihistamines, and they can exceptionally induce skin react...

Urticaria after ingestion of alcoholic beverages.

In Vitro Anti-Inflammatory and Cytotoxic Effects of Aqueous Extracts from the Edible Sea Anemones Anemonia sulcata and Actinia equina

Marine invertebrates have been attracting the attention of researchers for their application in nutrition, agriculture, and the pharmaceutical industry, among others. Concerning sea anemones (Cnidaria), little is known regarding their metabolic profiles and potential value as a source of pharmacologically-active agents. In this work, the chemical profiles of two species of sea anemones Actinia ...
