Medicinal Plants for the Treatment of Local Tissue Damage Induced by Snake Venoms: An Overview from Traditional Use to Pharmacological Evidence

Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017
Snakebites are a serious problem in public health due to their high morbimortality. Most of snake venoms produce intense local tissue damage, which could lead to temporary or permanent disability in victims. The available specific treatment is the antivenom serum therapy, whose effectiveness is reduced against these effects.

Toxicity and Binding Profile of Lectins from the Genus Canavalia on Brine Shrimp

BioMed Research International, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
Lectins are sugar‐binding proteins widely distributed in nature with many biological functions. Although many lectins have a remarkable biotechnological potential, some of them can be cytotoxic. Thus, the aim of this study was to assess the toxicity of five lectins, purified from seeds of different species of Canavalia genus.

Risks for human health related to the presence of plant lectins in food

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The European Commission asked the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to assess the risk related to the presence of plant lectins in food. Based on the available evidence, the CONTAM Panel considered only phytohaemagglutinin (PHA), a legume lectin from beans (Phaseolus sp.), for the risk characterisation.

Allelopathic Effects of Litter Axonopus compressus against Two Weedy Species and Its Persistence in Soil

The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
This study investigated the allelopathic effect of Axonopus compressus litter on Asystasia gangetica and Pennisetum polystachion. In experiment 1 the bioassays with 0, 10, 30, and 50 g L−1 of aqueous A. compressus litter leachate were conducted. Experiment 2 was carried out by incorporating 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 g L−1 of A.

Heterelogous Expression of Plant Genes

International Journal of Plant Genomics, Volume 2009, Issue 1, 2009., 2009
Heterologous expression allows the production of plant proteins in an organism which is simpler than the natural source. This technology is widely used for large‐scale purification of plant proteins from microorganisms for biochemical and biophysical analyses.
