    ISSN: 0975-8585 Research Journal of Pharmaceutical, Biological and Chemical Sciences Preliminary studies on the effects of crude Venom extracts of Conus Musicus in isolated Frog Heart preparation and Hematological Parameters in Rats Balamurugan K1* , Mohd. Suleman Hussain2, Shiva Kumar A2 , Syed Mamoon Hussain3. 1 Department of Pharmacy, Annamalai University, Annamalai Nagar, Chidambaram, Tamil Nadu, India; 2Deccan College of Medical Sciences, Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India. 3 Lecturer, Department of Pharmacology, QASSIM UNIVERSITY, Saudi Arabia. ABSTRACT In this paper we report the effects of crude venom of Conus musicus on the isolated frog heart preparation and hematological parameters of rats. In the episode of administration of the Conus musicus toxin as 10, 20 µg dose attenuated the contractions of the frog heart in a dose dependent manner indicating the depressant action. When toxin co-administered with Cacl2 there was no increase in heart rate. When toxin co-administered with double dose of Cacl2, the action of toxin was partially blocked. From which it could be speculated that the Conus musicus toxin consists of directly acting depressing principle (calcium channels blocking) because the venom is blocking the action of Cacl 2 at normal dose and it is reversible when the dose of Cacl2 was doubled the dose of toxin. The hematological parameters study was conducted on 8- weeks old male Wister rats and crude extract (250 µg of Conus musicus) was orally administered (50, 100, and 200 µg /kg) for 28 consecutive days. Our results demonstrated that experimental groups receiving both 100 and 200 mcg/kg Conus musicus treatment led to significant dose-dependent decrease in some hematological parameters RBC, WBC counts, haematocrite and mean corpuscular hemoglobin values at the end of the experiment.

Received: 14 December 2012; in revised form: 25 January 2013 / Accepted: 6 February 2013 / Published: 1 March 2013 Abstract: Conotoxins are small peptides present in the venom of cone snails. The snail uses this venom to paralyze and capture prey. The constituent conopeptides display a high level of chemical diversity and are of particular interest for scientists as tools employed in neurological studies and for drug development, because they target with exquisite specificity membrane receptors, transporters, and various ion channels in the nervous system. However, these peptides are known to contain a high frequency and variability of post-translational modifications—including sometimes O-glycosylation—which are of importance for biological activity. The potential application of specific conotoxins as neuropharmalogical agents and chemical probes requires a full characterization of the relevant peptides, including the structure of the carbohydrate part.

(UPD, Philippines) in September 2003 for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Marine Biology within the School of Marine Biology and Aquaculture James Cook University ABSTRACT The aim of this thesis is to describe the distribution of coral reef and shore gastropods in the Philippines, using the species rich taxa, Nerita, Clypeomorus, Muricidae, Littorinidae, Conus and Oliva. These taxa represent the major gastropod groups in the intertidal and shallow water ecosystems of the Philippines. This distribution is described with reference to the McManus (1985) basin isolation hypothesis of species diversity in Southeast Asia. I examine species-area relationships, range sizes and shapes, major ecological factors that may affect these relationships and ranges, and a phylogeny of one taxon. Range shape and orientation is largely determined by geography. Large ranges are typical of mid-intertidal herbivorous species. Triangualar shaped or narrow ranges are typical of carnivorous taxa. Narrow, overlapping distributions are more common in the central Philippines. The frequency of range sizesin the Philippines has the right skew typical of tropical high diversity systems.

  • THE LISTING of PHILIPPINE MARINE MOLLUSKS Guido T
    August 2017 Guido T. Poppe A LISTING OF PHILIPPINE MARINE MOLLUSKS - V1.00 THE LISTING OF PHILIPPINE MARINE MOLLUSKS Guido T. Poppe INTRODUCTION The publication of Philippine Marine Mollusks, Volumes 1 to 4 has been a revelation to the conchological community. Apart from being the delight of collectors, the PMM started a new way of layout and publishing - followed today by many authors. Internet technology has allowed more than 50 experts worldwide to work on the collection that forms the base of the 4 PMM books. This expertise, together with modern means of identification has allowed a quality in determinations which is unique in books covering a geographical area. Our Volume 1 was published only 9 years ago: in 2008. Since that time “a lot” has changed. Finally, after almost two decades, the digital world has been embraced by the scientific community, and a new generation of young scientists appeared, well acquainted with text processors, internet communication and digital photographic skills. Museums all over the planet start putting the holotypes online – a still ongoing process – which saves taxonomists from huge confusion and “guessing” about how animals look like. Initiatives as Biodiversity Heritage Library made accessible huge libraries to many thousands of biologists who, without that, were not able to publish properly. The process of all these technological revolutions is ongoing and improves taxonomy and nomenclature in a way which is unprecedented. All this caused an acceleration in the nomenclatural field: both in quantity and in quality of expertise and fieldwork. The above changes are not without huge problematics. Many studies are carried out on the wide diversity of these problems and even books are written on the subject.

  • CONE SHELLS - CONIDAE MNHN Koumac 2018
    Living Seashells of the Tropical Indo-Pacific Photographic guide with 1500+ species covered Andrey Ryanskiy INTRODUCTION, COPYRIGHT, ACKNOWLEDGMENTS INTRODUCTION Seashell or sea shells are the hard exoskeleton of mollusks such as snails, clams, chitons. For most people, acquaintance with mollusks began with empty shells. These shells often delight the eye with a variety of shapes and colors. Conchology studies the mollusk shells and this science dates back to the 17th century. However, modern science - malacology is the study of mollusks as whole organisms. Today more and more people are interacting with ocean - divers, snorkelers, beach goers - all of them often find in the seas not empty shells, but live mollusks - living shells, whose appearance is significantly different from museum specimens. This book serves as a tool for identifying such animals. The book covers the region from the Red Sea to Hawaii, Marshall Islands and Guam. Inside the book: • Photographs of 1500+ species, including one hundred cowries (Cypraeidae) and more than one hundred twenty allied cowries (Ovulidae) of the region; • Live photo of hundreds of species have never before appeared in field guides or popular books; • Convenient pictorial guide at the beginning and index at the end of the book ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The significant part of photographs in this book were made by Jeanette Johnson and Scott Johnson during the decades of diving and exploring the beautiful reefs of Indo-Pacific from Indonesia and Philippines to Hawaii and Solomons. They provided to readers not only the great photos but also in-depth knowledge of the fascinating world of living seashells. Sincere thanks to Philippe Bouchet, National Museum of Natural History (Paris), for inviting the author to participate in the La Planete Revisitee expedition program and permission to use some of the NMNH photos.

  • Marine Mollusks from Bougainville and Florida, Solomon Islands
    ^^ FIELDIANA • ZOOLOGY 3 Published by CHICAGO NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM Volume 39 October 17, 1958 No. 20 MARINE MOLLUSKS FROM BOUGAINVILLE AND FLORIDA, SOLOMON ISLANDS Alan Solem Assistant Curator, Division of Lower Invertebrates My checklist of the Solomon Island marine and fresh-water mol- lusks (Solem, 1953) was based on a large collection donated to Chicago Natural History Museum by Captain J. M. Ross and sup- plemented by a series of records in the literature. Two small collec- tions of marine shells given to the University of Michigan Museum of Zoology add to our knowledge of the fauna, and the additional data are reported below. I did not communicate with Dr. C. E. Fox, who presented the shells to Captain Ross, until after the checklist had been published. Dr. Fox then informed me that all the shells he gave to Captain Ross were found near Guadalcanal and Malaita Islands. The local- ity "Solomon Islands" cited by me (Solem, 1953) for the Fox col- lection should be restricted to "Guadalcanal and Malaita." Since September, 1952, when my manuscript (Solem, 1953) was submitted, the checklist of Kuroda and Habe (1952), the semi-pop- ular book of Kira (1955), and the ecological study of Demond (1957) have brought to my attention a number of nomenclatural changes affecting the names used by me (Solem, 1953) . These changes in no way alter the taxonomic position of the genera and species—only the names applied to the units. Both below, and in a report on the New Hebridean marine fauna (Solem, in press), a number of nomen- clatural changes are recorded.

  • Molluscs of Christmas Island
    Records of the Western Australian Museum Supplement No. 59: 103-115 (2000). MOLLUSCS OF CHRISTMAS ISLAND Fred E. Wells and Shirley M. Slack-Smith Western Australian Museum, Francis Street, Perth, Western Australia 6000, Australia Christmas Island is towards the lower end of sources. Maes considered that the paucity of species species diversity for similar coral reef surveys was largely due to the great distances over which undertaken by the Western Australian Museum . planktonic larvae would have to be carried from (Table 8), with a total of 313 species of molluscs areas of similar habitats, further complicated by collected (Table 9). Mollusc diversity was greater at apparently adverse winds and currents. Christmas Island than the 261 species collected at Of the 313 species collected at Christmas Island, Rowley Shoals and the 279 collected at Seott Reef in 245 were gastropods (78.3%) and 63 were bivalves 1984, but fewer than the 433 collected at Ashmore (20.1 %). No scaphopods, only three species of chitons Reef in 1986. However, with 15 collecting days and two of cephalopods were collected although compared to the maximum of 12 on Ashmore Reef other cephalopod species were seen. This breakdown and the fact that there were three people primarily of the fauna is almost identical to the results from the interested in molluscs on Christmas Island as northwestern shelf-edge atolls of Western Australia, opposed to two on the other expeditions, the where 77.3% of the total of 581 species collected were molluscan fauna of Christmas Island can be seen to gastropods and 20.7% were bivalves (Wells, 1994).

    ZOOLOGISCHE MEDEDELINGEN UITGEGEVEN DOOR HET RIJKSMUSEUM VAN NATUURLIJKE HISTORIE TE LEIDEN (MINISTERIE VAN CULTUUR, RECREATIE EN MAATSCHAPPELIJK WERK) Deel 53 no. 13 25 oktober 1978 THE MARINE MOLLUSCAN ASSEMBLAGES OF PORT SUDAN, RED SEA by M. MASTALLER Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Lehrstuhl für Spez. Zoologie Bochum, West-Germany With one text-figure and one table ABSTRACT This study summarizes field observations and collections of the molluscan fauna of the coastal and offshore reefs in the area of Port Sudan, Central Red Sea. In spite of the fact that some families of this group were described from several areas of the Red Sea, there exists only little information on the entire faunal composition of this region. 282 species of Amphineura, Gastropoda, and Bivalvia, collected and studied in nine localities are listed according to their habitats. Moreover, descriptions of the prominent members of typical molluscan assemblages are given for 13 habitats and microhabitats which differ in their morphological structures and in their hydrographic and physiographic conditions. Emphasis is placed on further studies on the trophic interactions within certain habitats. INTRODUCTION Although there is a considerable number of taxonomie literature on some molluscan families in the Indo-West-Padfic (Abbott, i960; Burgess, 1970; Cernohorsky, 1967; Habe, 1964; Kira, 1962; Powell, 1964; Rosewater, 1965), there is comparatively scarce information for the Red Sea. After the exten• sive surveys and descriptions of Issel, 1869, Hall & Standen, 1907, Jickeli, 1874, Shopland, 1902, and Sturany, 1901, 1903, in more recent times only a few studies were published on the entire faunal composition of molluscs in this region. Most of these publications deal with certain families, sometimes they also give information about their zoogeographical distribution in the Red Sea: Thus the cypraeids seem to yield the best information on their occurrence throughout the region (Foin, 1972; Mienis, 1971b; O'Malley, 1971; Schilder, 1965).

We report here the first conotoxin that is able to inhibit the growth of M. tuberculosis at a concentration similar to that of two other drugs that are currently used in clinics. Furthermore, it is also the first conopeptide that has been isolated from the venom of Conasprella ximenes. The venom gland transcriptome of C. ximenes was sequenced to construct a database with 24,284 non-redundant transcripts. The conopeptide was purified from the venom using reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) and was analyzed using electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS).

  • Cone Snail Fossils the Sample the 28 Fossil Cone Snail Shells Used In
    Cone Snail Fossils The Sample The 28 fossil cone snail shells used in this exercise come from the Plio-Pleistocene fossil record of the southeastern United States. Most of the specimens lived between 2-3 million years ago. Classification Information-- The "Answer" The correct species assignments of the 28 cone snail shells used in this exercise were evaluated by paleontologist Dr. Jonathan Hendricks, who specializes on the fossil record and evolution of this group of snails. Dr. Hendricks recognizes seven (7) different species in this sample. Three belong to the genus Conasprella (Conasprella delessertii, Conasprella marylandica, and Conasprella onisca) and four belong to the genus Conus (Conus adversarius, Conus anabathrum, Conus spurius, and Conus yaquensis). Key features for identifying fossil cone snail species include: the overall shape of the shell, the presence or absence of grooves on the shell, the presence or absence of small bumps near the tip of the shell, and the coloration pattern of the shell, which can sometimes be revealed using ultraviolet light. Links to detailed information about each of the species (including more photographs, including of revealed shell coloration patterns), as well as interactive 3D models, are presented below, along with a key to the "correct" identifications for each one of the cards.
