Snake Venomic of Crotalus durissus terrificus—Correlation with Pharmacological Activities
Journal of Proteome Research, 2010The snake venomic of Crotalus durissus terrificus was analyzed by 2-D and 1-D electrophoresis and subsequent MS/MS and enzymatic assays. The venomic of the South American rattlesnake comprises toxins from seven protein families: phospholipases A(2), serine proteinases, ecto-5'-nucleotidases, metalloproteinases, nerve growth factors, phosphodiesterases,

Inhibitory potential of Crotalus durissus terrificus venom on measles virus growth
Toxicon, 2003This paper presents the antiviral activity found in a snake with Crotalus durissus terrificus venom (Cdt), studied by use of microplate inhibition assay, using measles virus (MV). Cdt at concentrations below 100 microg/ml showed no cytotoxicity for Vero cells. This study shows the optimal conditions for cell treatment and infection.

In Brazil, the Crotalus durissus terrificus subspecie is the most studied, particularly concerning its crotoxin. Crotoxin is the major toxic component of the South American rattlesnake Crotalus durissus venom. It is composed of two different subunits, CA called crotapotin and CB weakly toxic phospholipase A2 with high enzymatic activity. In this paper,

Purification of gyroxin from a South American rattlesnake (Crotalus durissus terrificus) venom
Toxicon, 1980Abstract Gyroxin, a non-lethal toxin from Crotalus durissus terrificus venom was isolated by a procedure involving two chromatographies on Sephadex G-75 at pH 4·0; ion exchange chromatography on CM-Sephadex C-50 at pH 3·5 and chromatography on Sephadex G-75 at pH 4·0.

Gyroxin, a toxin from the venom of Crotalus durissus terrificus, is a thrombin-like enzyme
Toxicon, 1988We report a simple method for the isolation of gyroxin, a protein from the venom of the South American rattlesnake Crotalus durissus terrificus. The intravenous injection of gyroxin into mice produces temporary episodes characterized by opisthotonos and rotations around the long axis of the animal.

Myocardial damage induced by tropical rattlesnake (Crotalus durissus terrificus) venom in rats
Cardiovascular Pathology, 1993This article describes the light and electron microscopic appearance of the rat myocardium at various time intervals after the administration of Crotalus durissus terrificus venom by intraperitoneal route. The crotalid envenomation produced small foci of myocardial necrosis scattered throughout the base of the ventricles.

The venom of South American rattlesnake Crotalus durissus terrificus is very toxic but poorly immunogenic and it has an immunosuppressive ability. The heating of venom at 56, 70 or 100 degrees C for 30 min caused a diminution in the lethal, phospholipase A(2) and myotoxic activities.

Crotalus durissus terrificus snake venom regulates macrophage metabolism and function
Journal of Leukocyte Biology, 2001Abstract In the present study, we examined the effect of Crotalus durissus terrificus venom on rat macrophage metabolism and function. Two hours after subcutaneous injection of the venom, peritoneal resident (unstimulated), elicited (thioglycollate-stimulated), and activatedMycobacterium bovis strain bacille Calmette Guérin (BCG ...

The biological activities of 'yellow' and 'white' venom of a rattlesnake Crotalus durissus ruruima Hoge, 1965, found in the savanna-like vegetation (cerrado) of northern Brazil (Roraima) and Venezuela have been studied, and compared to the reference Crotalus durissus terrificus venom. The lethal activity of venoms depended on the inoculation route. The
