Almost all curare preparations were and are complex mixtures, and many of the physiological actions attributed to the early curarizing preparations were undoubtedly due to impurities, particularly to other alkaloids present. (wikipedia.org)
Latin2
However, the origin story of curation and its etymology links back to the Latin root word "curare,' which means "to take care of. (mirror.xyz)
Here's what Wikipedia says about curators and curating and curation: First, the word "curator" comes from the Latin, "curare" - which means "take care. (simonejoyaux.com)
Strychnos2
The curare preparations are now considered to be of two main types, those from Chondrodendron or other members of the Menispermaceae family and those from Strychnos, a genus of the Loganiaceae [ now Strychnaceae ] family. (wikipedia.org)
A pharmacological study of derivatives of 2 specimens of tubo-curare, and an examination of 4 members of genus Strychnos and 1 rubiaceous plant associated with the curares of British Guiana. (nih.gov)
Paralysis2
This has a curare-like effect on the motor-endings of the nervous system, acting in small doses as a stimulant to the respiratory system but in large doses causing respiratory paralysis[240]. (pfaf.org)
Curare decreases the output of adrenaline. (yourmedkart.com)
Darts2
The prey was shot by arrows or blowgun darts dipped in curare, leading to asphyxiation owing to the inability of the victim's respiratory muscles to contract. (wikipedia.org)
Because this mechanism is relatively insensitive to drug action, the most important group of drugs that affect the neuromuscular junction act on (1) acetylcholine release, (2) acetylcholine receptors, or (3) the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (which normally inactivates acetylcholine to terminate muscle fibre contraction). (britannica.com)
Menispermaceae2
Tube or bamboo curare: Mainly composed of the toxin D-tubocurarine, this poison is found packed into hollow bamboo tubes derived from Chondrodendron and other genera in the Menispermaceae. (wikipedia.org)
Pot curare: Mainly composed of alkaloid components protocurarine (the active ingredient), protocurine (a weak toxicity), and protocuridine (non-toxic) from both Menispermaceae and Loganiaceae/Strychnaceae. (wikipedia.org)
Poison4
Calabash or gourd curare: Mainly composed of C toxiferine I, this poison was originally packed into hollow gourds from Loganiaceae/Strychnaceae alone. (wikipedia.org)
Curare was used as a paralyzing poison by many South American indigenous people. (wikipedia.org)
In 1596, Sir Walter Raleigh mentioned the arrow poison in his book Discovery of the Large, Rich, and Beautiful Empire of Guiana (which relates to his travels in Trinidad and Guayana), though the poison he described was possibly not curare. (wikipedia.org)
The word comes from a paralytic poison found on some rainforest plants, and Bruce references that obliquely when he says that Curare is as deadly as her name. (batman-news.com)

Bark1
Curare is prepared by boiling the bark of one of the dozens of plant sources, leaving a dark, heavy paste that can be applied to arrow or dart heads. (wikipedia.org)
Drugs3

Plant2
Richard Gill, a plant collector, found that the indigenous peoples began to use a variety of containers for their curare preparations, henceforth invalidating Boehm's basis of classification. (wikipedia.org)
The seeds have a similar action to the plant, but are a less effective diuretic and depurative[238]. (pfaf.org)
Active2
Used as a paralyzing agent by indigenous peoples in Central and South America for hunting and for therapeutic purposes, curare only becomes active when it contaminates a wound. (wikipedia.org)
It's true that Vialox act similarly to components like curare a naturally derived substance that is as active Botulinum neurotoxin type A.Vialox is a peptide that acts in a manner similar to that of Tubocurarin, main active compound of curare although is composition is different from curare Vialox act at the same point of action: the post synaptic membrane where it blocks the release of sodium ions.
