Low-molecular-weight compounds with anticoagulant activity from the scorpion Heterometrus laoticus venom

Low-molecular-weight compounds with anticoagulant activity were isolated from the scorpion Heterometrus laoticus venom. The determination of the structure of the isolated compounds by nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry showed that one of the isolated compounds is adenosine, and the other two are dipeptides leucyl-tryptophan and isoleucyl-tryptophan. The anticoagulant properties of adenosine, which is an inhibitor of platelet aggregation, is well known, but its presence in scorpion venom is shown for the first time. The ability of leucyl-tryptophan and isoleucyl-tryptophan to slow down blood clotting and their presence in scorpion venom are also established for the first time.
