Inhibition of Neurotoxic Secretory Phospholipases A2 Enzymatic, Edematogenic, and Myotoxic Activities by Harpalycin 2, an Isoflavone Isolated from Harpalyce brasiliana Benth

Figure 3

Effect of harpalycin 2 (Har2) on edema formation after a single subplantar injection of sPLA2 (25 μg/paw) from (a) Bothrops pirajai (PrTX-III), (b) Crotalus durissus terrificus (Cdt F15), (c) Apis mellifera (Apis), and (d) Naja naja (Naja) venom expressed as the increase in paw volume (μL). Native sPLA2 edematogenic activity is represented by circles whereas harpalycin 2 treated sPLA2 edematogenic activity is showed as squares. Data expressed as mean ± S.E.M. and analyzed by ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s test, with *P set at 0.05.
