Crotoxin-induced behavioral effects in rats
Crotoxin is the major component of Crotalus durissus terrificus venom. In view of the presence of high-affinity specific binding sites for crotoxin in the brain, the objective of this work was to investigate whether crotoxin induces behavioral effects in

Crotalic accidents in Brazil: actualities and perspectives
Introduction: Ophidian accidents are neglected events in tropical and in developing countries, including Brazil. Serpents of the Crotalus genus (rattlesnakes) are those that produce the highest case-fatality in the country.

Biological Roles of the Two Components of Crotoxin [PDF]
Crotoxin, the Brazilian rattlesnake neurotoxin, generally behaves as a homogeneous protein; however, it is a molecular complex of an acidic and a basic protein. These can be separated after alkylation or acylation of the amino groups, or on carboxymethyl cellulose at pH 4, or on DEAE-cellulose in 6 M urea. The two proteins differ greatly in composition,

The antineoplastic potential of crotoxin isolated from Crotalus durissus terrificus snake venom on oral squamous cell carcinoma [PDF]
This study investigated the antineoplastic effects of crotoxin isolated from snake venom of the South American Crotalus durissus terrificus in oral cancer cell lines and in an animal model of chemically induced oral cancer. We analyzed cell viability and

Snakebite envenoming is a neglected public health issue in many tropical and subtropical countries. To diagnosis and treat snakebites may be challenging to health care personnel since sufficient information has not been yet provided. This review presents the clinical, therapeutic, and laboratory aspects of Crotalus durissus (South American rattlesnakes)
