In this work an insect toxin scorpion was isolated and partially characterized from the venom of Centruroides margaritatus. It was isolated using ion exchange CM Sephadex C-25 column chromatography with 0,05M ammonium acetate buffer at pH 7,0. The isolated insect toxin is a basic protein and by PAGE-SDS showed two protein bands of 6.6 and 5,2 kDa. In addition has no proteolytic and phospholipase activity. The toxicity activity showed that is highly toxic in insects. Schistoocerca piceifrons peruviana, Grillus sp. and Periplaneta americana was killed with 1, 2 and 4 mg of protein, respectively. This is the first isolation and biochemical characterization of an insect toxin from scorpion venom in Perú.
