A non-proteinaceous toxin from the venomous spines of the lionfish Pterois volitans (Linnaeus).

M S Nair, P Cheung, I Leong, G D Ruggieri.   

Abstract

The venomous spines of P. volitans contain a non-proteinaceous ichthyotoxin of low molecular weight. This toxin could be isolated only from spines excised from the living fish; the toxin is apparently destroyed following death, as the extracts of the spines of the dead fish were non-toxic.
