A Documented Case of Ichthyophagy in the Malayan Krait (Bungarus candidus) and Its Implications for Toxinology

Diversity
Snakebite is a neglected tropical disease, and the high potency of snake venoms has been evolutionary refined for trophic interactions. Hence, understanding the feeding ecology of snakes is a major element needed to meaningfully interpret toxinological ...

Acetylcholine-Binding Protein Affinity Profiling of Neurotoxins in Snake Venoms with Parallel Toxin Identification

, 2023
Snakebite is considered a concerning issue and a neglected tropical disease. Three-finger toxins (3FTxs) in snake venoms primarily cause neurotoxic effects since they have high affinity for nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs).

Atrase A, a P-III class metalloproteinase purified from cobra venom, exhibits potent anticoagulant activity by inhibiting coagulation pathway and activating the fibrinolytic system

Heliyon
Snake venoms, comprising a complex array of protein-rich components, an important part of which are snake venom metalloproteinases (SVMPs). These SVMPs, which are predominantly isolated from viperid venoms, are integral to the pathology of snakebites ...

The effects of selected Australian snake venoms on tumour-associated microvascular endothelial cells (TAMECs) in vitro [PDF]

, 2013
The effects of various viperid and elapid venoms on the cellular biology of tumour-associated microvascular endothelial cells (TAMECs) were determined in the current study using cells isolated from a rat mammary adenocarcinoma.

A novel in vitro potency assay of antisera against Thai Naja kaouthia based on nicotinic acetylcholine receptor binding

Scientific Reports, 2017
Snake envenomation is an important medical problem. One of the hurdles in antivenom development is the in vivo assay of antivenom potency which is expensive, gives variable results and kills many animals.
