Purification and characterization of BaH4, a hemorrhagic metalloproteinase from the venom of the snake Bothrops asper
(2000-01)
A hemorrhagic metalloproteinase, named BaH4, was isolated from the venom of the snake Bothrops asper by a combination of ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sepharose and gel filtration on Sephacryl S-200. BaH4 is a 69 kDa ...
Identification of New Snake Venom Metalloproteinase Inhibitors Using Compound Screening and Rational Peptide Design
(2012)
The majority of snakebite envenomations in Central America are caused by the viperid species Bothrops asper, whose venom contains a high proportion of zinc-dependent metalloproteinases that play a relevant role in the ...
Venenos de serpientes de la familia Viperidae en América: Bioquímica y fisiopatología.
(2011)
Se muestra una perspectiva general de las características bioquímicas de los principales tipos de toxinas
presentes en los venenos de vipéridos americanos y la fisiopatología de estos envenenamientos. En la preparación ...
Characterization of aspercetin, a platelet aggregating component from the venom of the snake Bothrops asper which induces thrombocytopenia and potentiates metalloproteinase-induced hemorrhage
(2001-04)
Thrombocytopenia occurs in a number of patients bitten by Bothrops asper, a species responsible for the majority of snakebites in Central America and southern Mexico. In this work we describe the isolation of a new ...
Pulmonary hemorrhage induced by jararhagin, a metalloproteinase from Bothrops jararaca snake venom
(2003-11-15)
Jararhagin is the most important hemorrhagic component in the venom of the snake Bothrops jararaca, a species of medical importance in South America. It is a P-III zinc-dependent metalloproteinase comprising catalytic, ...
Characterization of 'basparin A,' a prothrombin-activating metalloproteinase, from the venom of the snake Bothrops asper that inhibits platelet aggregation and induces defibrination and thrombosis
(2003-10)
A prothrombin activator, named ‘basparin A,’ was isolated from the venom of the crotaline snake Bothrops asper, the species responsible for the majority of snakebite cases in Central America. It is an acidic (pI 5.4), 70 ...
Proteomic and functional profiling of the venom of Bothrops ayerbei from Cauca, Colombia, reveals striking interspecific variation with Bothrops asper venom
(Journal of Proteomics Volume 96, 16 January 2014, Pages 159–172, 2014-01)
Bothrops ayerbei, a pitviper inhabiting the Patía River's basin (Valle Alto del Río Patía) in the Southwestern Department of Cauca, Colombia, was considered as a variant form of Bothrops asper prior to being proposed as a ...
Experimental pathology of local tissue damage induced by Bothrops asper snake venom
(2009-12-01)
Envenomations by Bothrops asper are often associated with complex and severe local pathological manifestations, including edema, blistering, dermonecrosis, myonecrosis and hemorrhage. The pathogenesis of these alterations ...
Snake Venomics of the Lesser Antillean Pit Vipers Bothrops caribbaeus and Bothrops lanceolatus: Correlation with Toxicological Activities and Immunoreactivity of a Heterologous Antivenom
(2008-10)
The venom proteomes of the snakes Bothrops caribbaeus and Bothrops lanceolatus, endemic to the
Lesser Antillean islands of Saint Lucia and Martinique, respectively, were characterized by reversephase
HPLC fractionation, ...
Thrombocytopenia and platelet hypoaggregation induced by Bothrops asper snake venom. Toxins involved and their contribution to metalloproteinase-induced pulmonary hemorrhage.
(2005-07)
Thrombocytopenia and platelet dysfunction occur in patients bitten by Bothrops sp snakes in Latin America. An experimental model was developed in mice to study the effects of B. asper venom in platelet numbers and function. ...
