Arborine and methaqualone are not sedative in the wolf spider Lycosa ceratiola Gertsch and Wallace

Glomerin and homoglomerin, two quinazolinone alkaloids in the defensive secretion of the pill milliped, Glomeris marginata , produce delayed sedation of prolonged duration in wolf spiders (Lycosa spp.). The compounds are sedative at small doses (1-7 mu g per spider), representing but a fraction of t...

description Glomerin and homoglomerin, two quinazolinone alkaloids in the defensive secretion of the pill milliped, Glomeris marginata , produce delayed sedation of prolonged duration in wolf spiders (Lycosa spp.). The compounds are sedative at small doses (1-7 mu g per spider), representing but a fraction of the total secretory output of a medium sized milliped. Glomerin and homoglomerin are structurally related to arborine, a plant natural product, and to methaqualone, a synthetic drug. Both arborine and methaqualone are sedative to vertebrates, which suggests that they might also be sedative to spiders. The authors here present evidence indicating that this hypothesis is incorrect, since neither arborine nor methaqualone given in large doses produced sedation (= hypnosis) in the wolf spider, Lycosa ceratiola Gertsch Wallace.
