Poisonous poison knocked out large mice 15 times in half a minute
Many new types of venom have been discovered thanks to techniques that allow small amounts of venom analysis, according to Mandë Holford.
The yellow-headed centipede uses a powerful weapon as a powerful venom to kill mice 15 times bigger in just 30 seconds.
Scientists learn the deadly venom of the yellow-headed centipede in a new study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Newsweek, reported yesterday.
Many new types of venom have been discovered thanks to techniques that allow for very small venom analysis, according to Mandë Holford, a chemist who specializes in snail venom at Hunter University and the Center for Advanced Study at New York University , who did not participate in the study. But the team not only detected venom but also found a treatment.
Golden-headed centipedes can turn this species into the most effective poisonous predator, said study co-author Shilong Yang from Kunming Institute of Zoology in China. The centipede can kill white mice 15 times bigger than it does in 30 seconds.
Yellow-headed centipedes distributed in China and Hawaii, also bite people, sometimes lethal. Therefore, the team wants to find out what makes their venom so dangerous. They identified a new poison and named it Ssm Spooky Toxin. According to Yang and his colleagues, this poison is not the same as any other poison that scientists have known.
Golden-headed centipedes can turn this species into the most effective poisonous predator.
Next, the researchers discovered the poison Ssm Spooky Toxin blocked a series of cellular structures called KCNQ channels , used to transmit salt into and out of cells. As a result, the blood vessels in the target body of the centipede shrink, sometimes strong enough to cause death. In small animals, yellow-headed centipedes can bite into the head, toxins in the brain can also lead to seizures.
Yang's group thinks that a seizure medication called retigabine can open up KCNQ channels can help deal with venom and initial test results are very promising. In the next step, they wanted to test the drug in unfortunate victims of bites.
