Modern Venom Profiling: Mining into Scorpion Venom Biodiversity

2014
Scorpions and their sting are infamous for causing pain, morbidity, and, in some cases, death. However, research into scorpion venoms has revealed the presence of components that potentially have beneficial properties for humans. Such components may be developed into therapeutics or bioinsecticides.

Distribution of 5-Hydroxytryptamine in Scorpion Venoms

Nature, 1959
IN previous communications1,2 the occurrence of high concentrations of 5-hydroxytryptamine in the venom of Leiurus quinquestriatus was reported. Since then, the venom of Buthotus minax L. Koch (another common local species) has been found to contain much smaller amounts of 5-hydroxytryptamine, and this observation has been correlated with the histo ...

Neurotoxins from Scorpion Venoms

2002
Scorpions have been classified into six families: Bothriuridae, Scorpionidae, Buthidae, Vejovidae, Chlaerilidae, and Chactidae. Only the venoms of Buthidae scorpions have been described as potentially dangerous for humans. This Buthidae family is divided into subfamilies on the basis of geographic and morphological criteria: Isometrinae, which is of ...

Anticoagulants from Scorpion Venoms

2010
Venom from at least six distinct families of scorpion: Buthidae, Caraboctonidae, Iuridae, Ischnuridae, Scorpionidae and Vejovidae are known to contain many pharmacologically active peptides and some proteins involved in coagulation. The list of such compounds is increasing with time and newly described cases.
