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 ...
Comparative study of the cytolytic activity of myotoxic phospholipases A2 on mouse endothelial (tEnd) and skeletal muscle (C2C12) cells in vitro
(1999-01)
A rapid in vitro cytolytic effect of some myotoxic phospholipases A2 (PLA2s) isolated from the venoms of Viperidae snakes has been previously described. This study was undertaken to investigate if cytolytic activity is a ...
Isolation and characterization of a metalloproteinase with weak hemorrhagic activity from the venom of the snake Bothrops asper (terciopelo)
(1995-01)
A metalloproteinase, named BaP1, was purified to homogeneity from the venom of Bothrops asper (Pacific region) of Costa Rica by ion-exchange chromatography on CM-Sephadex and gel filtration on Sephacryl S-200. The enzyme ...
Myonecrosis induced in mice by a basic myotoxin isolated from the venom of the snake Bothrops nummifer (jumping viper) from Costa Rica
(1989)
The mode of action of a basic myotoxin isolated from Bothrops nummifer venom was studied. This myotoxin is a basic polypeptide of 13,000 mol.wt, with a high content of lysine and aspartate, as well as of hydrophobic amino ...
Pharmacological study of edema induced by venom of the snake Bothrops asper (terciopelo) in mice
(1995-01)
The effect of several drugs on the edema-forming activity of Bothrops asper venom was studied plethysmographically using the mouse foot pad assay. Bothrops asper venom induced a dose-dependent edema which developed rapidly ...
Immunoglobulin G and F(ab')2 polyvalent antivenoms do not differ in their ability to neutralize hemorrhage, edema and myonecrosis induced by Bothrops asper (terciopelo) snake venom
(1997-11)
The ability of whole immunoglobulin G (IgG) and F(ab')2 polyvalent (Crotalinae) antivenoms to neutralize the hemorrhagic, edema-forming and myotoxic activities of Bothrops asper venom was studied. Both antivenoms were ...
Clinical and laboratory alterations in horses during immunization with snake venoms for the production of polyvalent (Crotalinae) antivenom
(1997-01)
Six horses were immunized with the venoms of Bothrops asper, Crotalus durissus durissus and Lachesis muta stenophrys for the production of polyvalent (Crotalinae) antivenom. During the immunization, clinical and laboratory ...
The analgesics morphine and tramadol do not alter the acute toxicity induced by Bothrops asper snake venom in mice
(2014-04)
Analgesics tramadol and morphine were used in mice injected with Bothrops asper venom.
Analgesics did not alter the acute toxicity of B. asper venom in mice.
Precautionary (prophylactic) analgesia should be ...
Bothrops asper: Beauty and peril in the Neotropics
(2009-12-01)
Snakes have inspired fascination and fear to humans since ancient times, as reflected by the common presence of these reptiles in the mythology of many civilizations. Such sense of awe has been associated to the impact ...
Comparison of the immunogenicity and antigenic composition of ten Central American snake venoms
(1993-08)
The immunological reactivity of five crotaline antivenoms for the venoms of ten Costa Rican snakes was determined. Venoms from Bothrops asper, B. godmani, B. lateralis, B. nasutus, B. ophryomegas, B. schlegelii, B. nummifer, ...
