Bioactivity of W. aegyptia venom primary fractions on OF1 mouse sperm motility. a Chromatogram of the analytical C18 RP-HPLC fractionation of the Egyptian snake venom. Most compounds eluted between fractions 8 and 19. Fraction numbers are indicated on top. Dashed line represents the linear ACN gradient. b Schematic diagram illustrating the sperm motility parameter (VCL) that was calculated by computer-assisted semen analysis (CASA) system. Positive fractions were those that exceeded +20% variations for VCL (fraction 11). Dashed lines indicate meaningful variations as set arbitrarily for defining potent compounds. c Mass characterization of fraction F11 components by MALDI-TOF MS. Five compounds were identified using the linear positive mode
