Experimental pathophysiology of systemic alterations induced by Bothrops asper snake venom
(2009-12-01)
Moderate and severe envenomations by the snake Bothrops asper provoke systemic alterations, such as systemic bleeding, coagulopathy, hypovolemia, hemodynamic instability and shock, and acute renal failure. Systemic hemorrhage ...
Effectiveness of batimastat, a synthetic inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases, in neutralizing local tissue damage induced by BaP1, a hemorrhagic metalloproteinase from the venom of the snake Bothrops asper
(2000-07-15)
Batimastat (BB-94), a synthetic hydroxamate peptidomimetic matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor, was tested for its ability to inhibit proteolytic and toxic effects induced by BaP1, a 24-kDa hemorrhagic metalloproteinase ...
Skin Pathology Induced by Snake Venom Metalloproteinase: Acute Damage, Revascularization, and Re-epithelization in a Mouse Ear Model
(2008-10)
Viperid snakebite envenomation induces blistering and dermonecrosis. The pathological alterations induced by a snake venom metalloproteinase in the skin were investigated in a mouse ear model. Metalloproteinase BaP1, from ...
Proteomics of Wound Exudate in Snake Venom-Induced Pathology: Search for Biomarkers To Assess Tissue Damage and Therapeutic Success
(2011-02-10)
Tissue damage analysis by traditional laboratory techniques is problematic. Proteomic analysis of exudates collected from affected tissue constitutes a powerful approach to assess tissue alterations, since biomarkers ...
Inhibition of local hemorrhage and dermonecrosis induced by Bothrops asper snake venom: effectiveness of early in situ administration of the peptidomimetic metalloproteinase inhibitor batimastat and the chelating agent CaNa2EDTA
(2000-11)
The effectiveness of the chelating agent CaNa2EDTA and the peptidomimetic matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor batimastat (BB-94) to inhibit local tissue damage induced by Bothrops asper snake venom was studied in mice. Both ...
The lethality test used for estimating the potency of antivenoms against Bothrops asper snake venom: Pathophysiological mechanisms, prophylactic analgesia, and a surrogate in vitro assay
(2015-01)
The potency of antivenoms is assessed by analyzing the neutralization of venom-induced lethality, and is expressed as the Median Effective Dose (ED50). The present study was designed to investigate the pathophysiological ...
Unresolved issues in the understanding of the pathogenesis of local tissue damage induced by snake venoms
(2018-06)
Snakebite envenoming by viperid species, and by some elapids, is characterized by a complex pattern of
tissue damage at the anatomical site of venom injection. In severe cases, tissue destruction may be so
extensive as ...
Efficacy of IgG and F(ab′)2 Antivenoms to Neutralize Snake Venom-induced Local Tissue Damage as Assessed by the Proteomic Analysis of Wound Exudate
(2012)
Proteomic analysis of wound exudates represents a valuable tool to investigate tissue pathology and to assess the therapeutic success of various interventions. In this study, the ability of
horse-derived IgG and F(ab0)2 ...
Effect of the metalloproteinase inhibitor batimastat in the systemic toxicity induced by Bothrops asper snake venom: understanding the role of metalloproteinases in envenomation
(2014-03-15)
The peptidomimetic hydroxamate metalloproteinase inhibitor batimastat (BB-94) was assessed for its ability to neutralize the systemic effects (lethality, hemorrhage and coagulopathy) induced by the venom of Bothrops asper, ...
Hemorrhage induced by snake venom metalloproteinases: biochemical and biophysical mechanisms involved in microvessel damage
(2005-06-15)
Zinc-dependent metalloproteinases are responsible for the hemorrhagic activity characteristic of viperid snake venoms. Snake venom metalloproteinases (SVMPs) are classified in various groups (P-I–IV), according to their ...
