Abstract: Two toxin polypeptides desgnated RSAPⅢ and RSAP Ⅳ were isolated from sea anemone Ac-tinia cari.Toxins isolation was accomplished by freezing-thawing extraction, fractional acetone precipita-tion, cation exchange chromatography on SP Sephadex C-25 and reverse phase HPLC on ODS C18. Theywere found to be homogenous by SDS-PAGE, and their moleculax weight at m/z 5327 and m/z 5310 re-spectively were determined by MALDI-TOF-MS.RSAP Ⅲ possessed a bioactivity on sodinm channel inGuinea pig cardiac cell to inhibit inward Na+ currents, which is contrary to that of all sea anemone toxinsisolated so far.
