Biochemical and Functional Characterization of Parawixia bistriata Spider Venom with Potential Proteolytic and Larvicidal Activities

Table 1

Anticoagulant activity of Parawixia bistriata spider venom.

Parawixia bistriata (𝜇g)	Time of coagulation (min)
10	5:15 ± 0:23
25	7:45 ± 0:47^#
50	10:35 ± 1:38^#
100	22:25 ± 4:65^#
200	Did not coagulate^**#
250	Did not coagulate^**#
CaCl2 (0.1 M)*	4:00 ± 0:26

∗Inducing coagulation control. ∗∗After 48 hours of observation. The anticoagulant activity of the venom was observed by adding 10–250 𝜇g of 𝑃. bistriata crude venom into the plasma while monitoring clotting time. Mean values of the clotting time followed by the standard deviation expressed six individual experiments with triplicate samples. #Significance level (𝑃 < 0.05) when compared to the control.
