Venom from the scorpion Androctonus amoreuxi was fractionated into eight components by cellulose acetate electrophoresis, using barbitone buffer pH 8·6. Only one of the electrophoretic fractions was lethal in mice.
The ld50 of the venom following i.m. injection into mice was estimated to be 0·88 ± 0·06 mg per kg.
The cardiovascular effects of the venom appeared to be mediated through stimulation of both parts of the autonomic nervous system with predominance of sympathetic stimulation, and release of tissue catecholamines.
The venom markedly decreased the tone of the spontaneously contracting rat uterus in all states of uterine function except in pregnancy where it produced a stimulant effect.
