Electrophoretic analysis of the soluble poison showed the presence of 5 protein bands with molecular weights between 5 and 25.1 kDa. The venom was obtained by hypotonic shock and then lyophilized.

papillosa has proteolytic, hemolytic and neurotoxic activity.Ībstract = 'In this work, the poison of Phymactis papillosa collected in Ancn bay has been studied biochemically. It is concluded that the soluble venom of P. Finally, the soluble venom as the peak III showed be neurotoxic when injected into white mice intraperitoneally. Hemolytic activity on human red cells tested, was found in the soluble venom and peak II. Was not detected phospholipase activity, hyaluronidase, acid phosphatase and alkaline phosphatase. Proteolytic activity on casein was found in the soluble venom and peaks I and III. In the soluble venom and collected fractions was measured protease activity, phospholipase, hyaluronidase, acid phosphatase and alkaline phosphatase as well as hemolytic and neurotoxic activity.

The soluble venom was fractionated by filtration chromatography on a Sephadex G-50 column, yielding four protein peaks (I, II, III and IV).
