title: Isolation and amino acid sequence of flavostatin, a novel disintegrin from the venom of Trimeresurus flavoviridis.
abstract: Flavostatin, a novel disintegrin purified from the venom of Trimeresurus flavoviridis, consists of 68 amino acids, including an Arg-Gly-Asp sequence and 12 Cys residues at positions highly conserved among disintegrins. The N-terminal sequence of flavostatin was identical to those of triflavin and flavoridin, previously reported disintegrins from the Trimeresurus flavoviridis venom. Differences among the C-terminal sequences of these disintegrins are considered to affect their biological potencies. Isolated flavostatin inhibited ADP collage, and thrombin receptor agonist peptide-induced platelet aggregation in human platelet-rich plasma with an IC50 range of 59 to 98 nM. Contrary to expectations, these values were similar to those for triflavin.
