Low-level laser therapy decreases local effects induced by myotoxins isolated from Bothrops jararacussu snake venom [PDF]
, 2010 The prominent myotoxic effects induced by Bothrops jararacussu crude venom are due, in part, to its polycationic myotoxins, BthTX-I and BthTX-II. Both myotoxins have a phospholipase A2 structure: BthTX-II is an active enzyme Asp-49 PLA2, while BthTX-I is

Advances in Bioinformatics, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016 Color variation provides the opportunity to investigate the genetic basis of evolution and selection. Reptiles are less studied than mammals. Comparative genomics approaches allow for knowledge gained in one species to be leveraged for use in another species. We describe a comparative vertebrate analysis of conserved regulatory modules in pythons aimed

Rattlesnake Envenomation in Three Dairy Goats
Case Reports in Veterinary Medicine, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015 Cases of rattlesnake envenomation in dairy goats are lacking. These cases present three dairy goats presented to a veterinary referral hospital for envenomation of Northern Pacific Rattlesnake (Crotalus oreganus). Treatments and clinical characteristics reported are similar to those for llamas, alpacas, and horses.

Antitumoral Activity of Snake Venom Proteins: New Trends in Cancer Therapy
BioMed Research International, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 For more than half a century, cytotoxic agents have been investigated as a possible treatment for cancer. Research on animal venoms has revealed their high toxicity on tissues and cell cultures, both normal and tumoral. Snake venoms show the highest cytotoxic potential, since ophidian accidents cause a large amount of tissue damage, suggesting a ...

Ethnopharmacological Significance of Eclipta alba (L.) Hassk. (Asteraceae)
International Scholarly Research Notices, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 Eclipta alba can be found growing wild in fallow lands of Bangladesh where it is considered as a weed by farmers. Traditional medicinal systems of the Indian subcontinent countries as well as tribal practitioners consider the plant to have diverse medicinal values and use it commonly for treatment of gastrointestinal disorders, respiratory tract ...

BioMed Research International, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013 Bbil‐TX, a PLA2, was purified from Bothriopsis bilineata snake venom after only one chromatographic step using RP‐HPLC on μ‐Bondapak C‐18 column. A molecular mass of 14243.8 Da was confirmed by Q‐Tof Ultima API ESI/MS (TOF MS mode) mass spectrometry. The partial protein sequence obtained was then submitted to BLASTp, with the search restricted to PLA2 ...

Snake Venom: Any Clue for Antibiotics and CAM?
Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2, Issue 1, Page 39-47, 2005., 2005 Lately several naturally occurring peptides presenting antimicrobial activity have been described in the literature. However, snake venoms, which are an enormous source of peptides, have not been fully explored for searching such molecules. The aim of this work is to review the basis of antimicrobial mechanisms revealing snake venom as a feasible ...

Assay of phospholipases A2 and their inhibitors by kinetic analysis in the scooting mode
Mediators of Inflammation, Volume 1, Issue 2, Page 85-100, 1992., 1992 Several cellular processes are regulated by interfacial catalysis on biomembrane surfaces. Phospholipases A2 (PLA2) are interesting not only as prototypes for interfacial catalysis, but also because they mobilize precursors for the biosynthesis of eicosanoids and platelet activating factor, and these agents ultimately control a wide range of secretory ...
