Intravascular hemolysis induced by phospholipases A2 from the venom of the Eastern coral snake, Micrurus fulvius: functional profile of hemolytic and non-hemolytic isoforms
(2018-04)
A unique feature of the venom of Micrurus fulvius (Eastern coral snake) is its ability to induce severe intravascular
hemolysis in particular species, such as dogs or mice. This effect was previously shown to be induced ...
Structural basis for phospholipase A2-like toxin inhibition by the synthetic compound Varespladib (LY315920)
(2019)
The World Health Organization recently listed snakebite envenoming as a Neglected Tropical Disease,
proposing strategies to significantly reduce the global burden of this complex pathology by 2030. In
this context, ...
Purification of equine whole IgG snake antivenom by using an aqueous two phase system as a primary purification step
(2015-01)
There is a need to introduce innovations in the manufacture of snake antivenoms to increase the supply of these products worldwide. In this work, the fractionation of equine hyperimmune plasma with a new methodology that ...
La actividad proteolítica de los venenos de serpientes de Costa Rica sobre la caseína
(Revista de Biologia Tropical 31(1), 37-40, 1983)
Se establecen las condiciones óptimas para la determinación comparativa de la actividad proteolítica de los venenos de serpientes costarricenses sobre la caseína y se describe dicha actividad para 13 venenos diferentes. ...
High-Resolution Crystal Structure of the Snake Venom Metalloproteinase BaP1 Complexed with a Peptidomimetic: Insight into Inhibitor Binding
(2009-07-07)
BaP1, a zinc-dependent endopeptidase belonging to the P-I class of snake venom metalloproteinases, exerts multiple tissue-damaging activities, leading to hemorrhage, myonecrosis, dermonecrosis, blistering, and edema. ...
A eficácia do antiveneno botrópico-crotálico na neutralização das principais atividades do veneno de Bothrops jararacussu
(1992)
Myonecrosis is one of the effects of Bothrops jararacussu venom, from which a myotoxin was isolated showing structural homology to phospholipase A2 (PLA2), but without enzimatic activity. Such myotoxic activity is also ...
Proteomic and functional analysis of the venom of Porthidium lansbergii lansbergii (Lansberg’s hognose viper) from the Atlantic Department of Colombia
(2015)
The venom of the Lansberg's hognose pitviper, Porthidium lansbergii lansbergii, a species found in the northern region of Colombia, is poorly known. Aiming to increase knowledge on Porthidium species venoms, its proteomic ...
A potent antihemorrhagin in the serum of the non-poisonous water snake Natrix tessellata: isolation, characterization and mechanism of neutralization
(1994-12)
The main natural antihemorrhagic factor (NtAH), which inhibits the hemorrhagic activity of Bothrops asper snake venom, was isolated from the serum of the non-poisonous water snake Natrix tessellata by ammonium sulfate ...
The synthetic Varespladib molecule is a multi-functional inhibitor for PLA2 and PLA2-like ophidic toxins
(2021)
The treatment for snakebites is early administration of antivenom, which can be highly effective in inhibiting the systemic effects of snake venoms, but is less effective in the treatment of extra-circulatory and local ...
