Bioactive peptides from scorpion venoms: therapeutic scaffolds and pharmacological tools
Chinese Journal of Natural Medicines, 2023Evolution and natural selection have endowed animal venoms, including scorpion venoms, with a wide range of pharmacological properties. Consequently, scorpions, their venoms, and/or their body parts have been used since time immemorial in traditional medicines, especially in Africa and Asia.

Scorpion Venom Peptides without Disulfide Bridges
IUBMB Life (International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology: Life), 2005Several hundred disulfide-bridged neurotoxic peptides have been characterized from scorpion venom; however, only few scorpion venom peptides without disulfide bridges have been identified and characterized. These non-disulfide-bridged peptides (NDBPs) are a novel class of molecules because of their unique antimicrobial, immunological or cellular ...

Genetic mechanisms of scorpion venom peptide diversification
Toxicon, 2006The diversity of scorpion venom peptides is well shown by the presence of about 400 such polypeptides with or without disulfide bonds. Scorpion toxins with disulfide bonds present a variety of sequence features and pharmacological functions by affecting different ion channels, while the venom peptides without disulfide bonds represent a new subfamily ...

Scorpion and spider venom peptides: Gene cloning and peptide expression
Toxicon, 2011This communication reviews most of the important findings related to venom components isolated from scorpions and spiders, mainly by means of gene cloning and expression. Rather than revising results obtained by classical biochemical studies that report structure and function of venom components, here the emphasis is placed on cloning and ...

Scorpion venom peptides with no disulfide bridges: A review
Peptides, 2014Scorpion venoms are rich sources of biologically active peptides that are classified into disulfide-bridged peptides (DBPs) and non-disulfide-bridged peptides (NDBPs). DBPs are the main scorpion venom components responsible for the neurotoxic effects observed during scorpion envenomation as they usually target membrane bound ion channels of excitable ...

Chlorotoxin and related peptides: Short insect toxins from scorpion venom
Russian Journal of Bioorganic Chemistry, 2014Scorpion venom is a complex multicomponent mixture of biologically active substances, some of which possess very interesting properties and are used in quite unexpected fields. The family of chlorotoxin (CTX)-like peptides serves a good example. These toxins exhibit insecticidal activity, however, their molecular mechanism of action on insect organism ...
