Popis: Two low-molecular-mass toxins — Lsl and Ls2 — have ben isolated from the venom of a spiderLinothele sp. (fam. Dipluridae) with the aid of gel filtration and reversed phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). It hs been shown that they are highly toxic on cerebroventricular injection into white mice: the LD-50 values of toxins Lsl and Ls2 are 24 and 19 μg/kg, respectively, which are 25 and 31 time greater than the toxicity, of the whole venon, the LD-50 of which is 0.6 mg/kg. According to mass spectrometry the molecular masses of toxins Ls1 and Ls2 are 337 and 505 Da, while their yields were, respectively, 0.21 and 0.43 % of the weight of the whole venom.
