Snake venom toxins: Potential anticancer therapeutics
Journal of Applied Toxicology, Volume 44, Issue 5, Page 666-685, May 2024.Abstract Snake venom contains a cocktail of compounds dominated by proteins and peptides, which make up the toxin. The toxin components of snake venom attack several targets in the human body including the neuromuscular system, kidney and blood coagulation system and cause pathologies. As such, the venom toxins can be managed and used for the treatment
