Snake venom toxins: Potential anticancer therapeutics
Abstract Snake venom contains a cocktail of compounds dominated by proteins and peptides, which make up the toxin. The toxin components of snake venom attack several targets in the human body including the neuromuscular system, kidney and blood coagulation system and cause pathologies. As such, the venom toxins can be managed and used for the treatment

Batroxobin inhibits astrocyte activation following nigrostriatal pathway injury
Batroxobin is a thrombin-like serine protease from the venom of the Bothrops atrox and Bothrops moojeni snake species. Sirtuin 1 (Sirt1) has been shown to play an important role in neuroprotection after traumatic brain injury.
