In the present study we conducted proteomic and pharmacological characterizations of the venom extracted from the Brazilian tarantula Acanthoscurria paulensis, and evaluated the cardiotoxicity of its two main fractions. The molecular masses of the venom components were identified by mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) after chromatographic separation (HPLC). The lethal dose (LD(50)) was determined in mice.

Benthic dinoflagellates of the genus Prorocentrum are common in tropical and subtropical water and several species produce phycotoxins potentially involved in human toxic outbreaks. The toxic dinoflagellate Prorocentrum borbonicum collected at La Réunion Island (France) was cultured in laboratory. A crude extract of the organism displayed significant toxicity in mice characterized by progressive limb paralysis, severe dyspnea, and death, and the toxicity was retained, after partition, in the extract's butanol-soluble fraction (BSF).
