Popis: Six populations of basic polypeptides have been found in the venom of the Central Asian cobraNaja oxiana Eichwald, and four of them — V″c-1, V″c-2, V″c-5, and V″c-6 — have been obtained in the electrophoretically homogeneous state. On a perfused frog heart preparation, all the basic polypeptides proved to be cardiotoxic. However, only some of them (V′c-2, V″c-3, and V″c-4) were characterized by arrhythmic activity as well as by the negative ino- and chronotropic effects, common for all of them. An enhancement of the specific cardiotoxic effect of each of the polypeptides by pure phospholipase A-2 has been shown.
