the pharmacological effects of odonthobuthus doriae scorpion venom and its extracted fractions on neuro-muscular transmission

چکیده
the effect of odonthobuthos doriae (o.d) scorpion venom at 0/3, 1 and 3, 10 µg/ml concentrations were investigated on nerve-muscle transmission, using the twitch tension technique. a concentration of 0.3 µg/ml caused a small change in the twitch height in response to indirect muscle stimulation, but higher concentrations (1, 3, 10 µg/ml) caused a transient augmentation in twitch response followed by a large contracture in the chick biventer cervices (cbc) preparation. this effect could be defined as a complex action of the venom, predominately presynaptic, in which its’ effects on postjunctional synapses is also maintained. in order to find out which bioactive fraction could explain the venom effects, the soluble crude venom was partially separated by the gel filtration method, using a sephadex g50 column, and four fractions were separated. two of the four purified fractions (o.d f3, o.d f4) were characterized as toxic and their ld50 values were lower than the crude venom. unlike the o.d f1 and o.d f2 fractions, o.d f3 and o.d f4 fractions caused a significant block in the twitch and contracture, in comparison to the control sample . in conclusion, fractions o.d f3 and o.d f4 are supposed to be as the biological active components of the o.d. venom.

Temporary paralysis is a rare manifestation of envenoming following the yellow Iranian scorpion, Odontobuthus doriae (O. doriae). Thus, to elucidate the underlying mechanism, we investigated the neurotoxic effect of venom in the sciatic nerve, the possible mechanism in a mice model. The neurotoxicity and temperature effects in the venom-induced neurotoxicity were examined using the mouse sciati...
