Effects of the crotalus durissus terrificus snake venom on hepatic metabolism and oxidative stress
Journal of Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology, 2010AbstractSnake venoms present different action mechanisms because of their complex composition, represented mainly by toxins and enzymes. This work aimed to investigate the effects of the Crotalus durissus terrificus(Cdt) venom in the liver. Wistar rats were inoculated intraperitoneally with saline (control) or Cdt venom.

Crotalus durissus terrificus venom (CDT venom) was irradiated with four different doses of gamma rays (2, 3, 5 and 10 kGy) from a 60Co source and their structural, toxic and immunogenic properties were analysed. Venom irradiated with 2 and 3 kGy were, respectively, 2.7 and 13.5 times less toxic than the native one, whereas the 5 or 10 kGy irradiated ...

We have previously demonstrated that rabbit antisera raised against crotoxin from Crotalus durissus cascavella venom (cdc-crotoxin) and its PLA2 (cdc-PLA2) neutralized the neurotoxicity of this venom and its crotoxin. In this study, we examined the ability of these antisera to neutralize the neurotoxicity of Crotalus durissus terrificus and Bothrops ...

Previous work of our group demonstrated that Crotalus durissus terrificus venom has a dual effect on macrophage function: it inhibits spreading and phagocytosis and stimulates hydrogen peroxide and nitric oxide production, antimicrobial activity and glucose and glutamine metabolism of these cells.

The venom of Crotalus durissus terrificus was fractionated by reverse-phase HPLC to obtain crotapotins (F5 and F7) and PLA2 (F15, F16, and F17) of high purity. The phospholipases A2 (PLA2S) and crotapotins showed antimicrobial activity against Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. passiflorae, although the unseparated crotoxin did not.

Herein we report that crotamine, a small lysine‐ and cysteine‐rich protein from the venom of the South American rattlesnake, can rapidly penetrate into different cell types and mouse blastocysts in vitro. In vivo, crotamine strongly labels cells from mouse bone marrow and spleen and from peritoneal liquid, as shown by fluorescent confocal laser ...

Immunopharmacology and Immunotoxicology, 1995
The venom from the snake Crotalus durissus terrificus was detoxified by stepwise incorporation of stable cationic iodine. The venoid, in a dosage equivalent to 100 LD50 of the lethal venom, was injected in mice without lethal exits. The native venom (NAT), or its toxoided (TXD) derivative were incubated in presence or absence of mitogens, with human ...

A New Fibrin Sealant FromCrotalus durissus terrificusVenom: Applications in Medicine
Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, Part B, 2009Fibrin sealant, a widely available tissue adhesive, has been used since 1940 in a variety of clinical applications. Commercially available fibrin sealant products are synthesized from bovine thrombin and human fibrinogen, which may transmit infectious diseases, and recipients may also develop antibodies against bovine thrombin.

Long-lasting anti-inflammatory properties of Crotalus durissus terrificus snake venom in mice
Toxicon, 2007In the present study, we investigated the effects of Crotalus durissus terrificus venom (CdtV) on vascular and cellular events of inflammation induced by carrageenan (cg) in mice. To evaluate edema, CdtV (75 microg kg(-1)) was administered subcutaneously before (1h, 7 or 14 days) or after (1, 4 or 48 h) subplantar injection of cg (15 mg kg(-1)) into ...

[Early effect of Crotalus durissus terrificus venom on kidney circulation].
Acta physiologica latino americana, 1981Local blood flow was measured in renal cortex (1 mm below cortical surface) by means of the hydrogen clearance method in urethanized rats. Recording of blood pressure from femoral artery was performed. Crotalus durissus terrificus venom injection (one mg/kg i.v.) significantly decreased cortical blood flow at 10 min, without a significant arterial ...
