Application of Metabolomic Tools for Studying Low Molecular-Weight Fraction of Animal Venoms and Poisons

, 2018
Both venoms and poisonous secretions are complex mixtures that assist in defense, predation, communication, and competition in the animal world. They consist of variable bioactive molecules, such as proteins, peptides, salts and also metabolites ...

Snake Venomics of Crotalus tigris: The Minimalist Toxin Arsenal of the Deadliest Neartic Rattlesnake Venom. Evolutionary Clues for Generating a Pan-Specific Antivenom against Crotalid Type II Venoms

, 2016
We report the proteomic and antivenomic characterization of Crotalus tigris venom. This venom exhibits the highest lethality for mice among rattlesnakes and the simplest toxin proteome reported to date. The venom proteome of C.

Neurotoxicity of Sri Lankan Krait (Bungarus ceylonicus) and Common Krait (Bungarus caeruleus) Venoms and Their Neutralisation by Commercial Antivenoms In Vitro

The common krait (Bungarus caeruleus) and the endemic Sri Lankan krait (B. ceylonicus) are two species of krait responsible for envenomings in Sri Lanka that result in progressive neuromuscular paralysis. We characterised the in vitro neurotoxicity of B.

A drug combination therapy consisting of toxin phospholipase A2 and metalloproteinase inhibitors provides preclinical protection against North American Crotalid snakebite envenoming [PDF]

Background Across North America an estimated 3,800–6,500 snakebite envenomings occur annually, resulting in 7–15 deaths and an unknown number of disfigurements and disabilities. Most bites are caused by Crotalid snake species.
