Pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic relationships of immunoglobulin therapy for envenomation.
(2003-07)
Parenteral administration of horse- and sheep-derived antivenoms constitutes the cornerstone in the therapy of envenomations induced by animal bites and stings. Depending on the type of neutralising molecule, antivenoms ...
Neutralizing capacity of a new monovalent anti-Bothrops atrox antivenom: Comparison with two commercial antivenoms
(1997-04)
Three horse-derived antivenoms were tested for their ability to neutralize lethal, hemorrhagic, edema-forming, defibrinating and myotoxic activities induced by the venom of Bothrops atr-ox from Antioquia and Choco (Colombia). ...
Delayed oral LY333013 rescues mice from highly neurotoxic, lethal doses of Papuan Taipan (Oxyuranus scutellatus) venom
(2018)
There is an unmet need for economical snakebite therapies with long shelf lives
that are effective even with delays in treatment. The orally bioavailable, heat-stable, secretory
phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) inhibitor, LY333013, ...
Role of the snake venom toxin jararhagin in proinflammatory pathogenesis: In vitro and in vivo gene expression analysis of the effects of the toxin
(2005-09)
To assess the indirect effects of snake venom metalloproteinases (SVMP) on host tissue local necrosis, we investigated the effect of the SVMP jararhagin on the gene expression profiles of human fibroblasts in vitro and ...
Venom of the crotaline snake Atropoides nummifer (jumping viper) from Guatemala and Honduras: comparative toxicological characterization, isolation of a myotoxic phospholipase A(2) homologue and neutralization by two antivenoms
(2001-07)
A comparative study was performed on the venoms of the crotaline snake Atropoides nummifer from Guatemala and Honduras. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, under reducing conditions, revealed a highly similar pattern ...
Instituto Clodomiro Picado: Ciencia y Tecnología Endógenas en la Solución de un Problema de la Salud Pública en Centroamérica
(1999-05)
El accidente ofídico re-presenta un importante problema de salud pública en Centroamérica. En Costa Rica, por ejemplo, ocurren alrededor de 600 mordeduras por serpientes en humanos anualmente (Gutiérrez, 1995), en tanto ...
Snake venomics of Lachesis muta rhombeata and genus-wide antivenomics assessment of the paraspecific immunoreactivity of two antivenoms evidence the high compositional and immunological conservation across Lachesis
(2013-08-26)
We report the proteomic analysis of the Atlantic bushmaster, Lachesis muta rhombeata, from Brazil. Along with previous characterization of the venom proteomes of L. stenophrys (Costa Rica), L. melanocephala (Costa Rica), ...
Degenerative and regenerative changes in murine skeletal muscle after injection of venom from the snake Bothrops asper: a histochemical and immunocytochemical study.
(1991)
The degenerative and regenerative changes in murine skeletal muscle after injection of Bothrops asper venom were studied by histological, lectin histochemical and immunocytochemical techniques. According to our observations, ...
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 ...
Inflammatory events induced by Lys-49 and Asp-49 phospholipases A2 isolated from Bothrops asper snake venom: role of catalytic activity
(2005-03)
The inflammatory events induced in the peritoneal cavity of mice by two PLA2s isolated from Bothrops asper snake venom were investigated. MT-III, an Asp-49 catalytically active enzyme and MT-II, a catalytically inactive ...
