Myotoxic activity and edema-induction by cnidarian extracts. (Bj) B. jararacussu snake venom and (BthTX-I) Bothropstoxin-I from B. jararacussu (1) C. gigantea (body-wall), (2) C. gigantea (total), (3) M. alcicornis, (4) S. helianthus (5) P. homomalla, (6) B. annulata. (a) CK activity was measured 3 h after the i.m injection of 50 μL with 50 μg of each cnidarian extracts (1–6) and 20 μg of the Bj and BthTX-I. Results are presented as means ± S.D. (n = 4). (b) Paw edema in Swiss mice was induced by injection of 100 μg of cnidarian extracts and 10 μg of Bj at 30, 60 and 180 min. Results are reported as mean % ± S. D (n = 6)
