13. Bothrops pirajai snake venom L-amino acid oxidase: in vitro effects on infection of Toxoplasma gondii in human foreskin fibroblasts
The effect of an L-amino acid oxidase isolated from Bothrops pirajai snake venom (BpirLAAO-I) was investigated on infection of Toxoplasma gondii in human foreskin fibroblasts (HFF). The cytotoxic activity of BpirLAAO-I on HFF cells showed a dose-dependent toxicity with median cytotoxic dose (TD50) of 11.8 µg/mL. BpirLAAO-I induced considerable dose-dependen

14. Biochemical and toxinological characterization of Naja sumatrana (Equatorial spitting cobra) venom
The lethal and enzymatic activities of venom from Naja sumatrana (Equatorial spitting cobra) were determined and compared to venoms from three other Southeast Asian cobras (Naja sputatrix, Naja siamensis and Naja kaouthia). All four venoms exhibited the common characteristic enzymatic activities of Asiatic cobra venoms: low protease, phosphodiesterase, alkal

15. Enzymatic and toxinological activities of Hypnale hypnale (hump-nosed pit viper) venom and its fractionation by ion exchange high performance liquid chromatography
Hypnale hypnale (hump-nosed pit viper) has been recently identified as one of the medically important venomous snakes in Sri Lanka and on the southwestern coast of India. The characterization of its venom is essential for understanding the pathophysiology of envenomation and for optimizing its management. In the present study, the biological properties of Hy

16. AvaliaÃÃo dos efeitos renais da fraÃÃo L-aminoÃcido Oxidase isolada do veneno da serpente Bothrops marajoensis. / Assessment of renal effects of L-amino acid oxidase fraction isolated from snake Bothrops marajoensis venom.
There are about 3.000 species of snakes worldwide, but only 10 to 14% are venomous. Among South American countries, Brazil is the one with the largest number of accidents, with approximately 20.000 snakebites each year. According to the Department of Health of Brazil, the genus Bothrops are the main involved in snakebites in the country. Acute renal failure

17. Purification of an L-amino acid oxidase from Bungarus caeruleus (Indian krait) venom
Snake venoms are rich in enzymes such as phospholipase A2, proteolytic enzymes, hyaluronidases and phosphodiesterases, which are well characterized. However, L-amino acid oxidase (LAO EC.1.4.3.2) from snake venoms has not been extensively studied. A novel L-amino acid oxidase from Bungarus caeruleus venom was purified to homogeneity using a combination of io

18. Antimicrobial activity of an L-amino acid oxidase isolated from Bothrops leucurus snake venom
Some snake venom proteins present enzymatic activities, such as L-amino acid oxidase (LAAO). The aim of this paper was to investigate the effect of Bothrops leucurus total venom (BleuTV) and its fraction LAAO (BleuLAAO) on bacteria, yeast, and promastigote forms of Leishmania amazonensis and Leishmania chagasi, and epimastigote forms of Trypanosoma cruzi.

19. Modulação de eventos da imunidade humoral e celular por venenos brutos e componentes dos venenos de Bothrops jararacussu e Bothrops pirajai / Modulation of events of humoral and cellular immunity by crude venom and components of Bothrops jararacussu and Bothrops pirajai
Snakes of the genus Bothrops are responsible for 90% of snakebites in Brazil. Their venoms cause local effects in humans and animals, such as hemorrhage, edema, pain and necrosis, characteristic of an inflammatory response. The mechanism is not well defined. These effects are related to the combined action of proteases, substances that induce bleeding and ph

20. AÃÃo antibacteriana antifÃngica e antiparasitÃria de veneno de serpentes do gÃnero Bothrops e suas fraÃÃes fosfolipase A2 e L-AminoÃcido oxidase / Antibacterial, antifungal and antiparasitary action of Bothrops venoms and their fractions phospholipase A2 and L-aminoacid oxidase
Snakes venoms contain biologically active substances primarily consisting of proteins (90-95%). Some of these present enzymatic activities, such as phospholipases A2 and the L-amino acid oxidases. In this study we verify the action of Bothrops leucurus (BleuTV) and Bothrops marajoensis (BmarTV) venoms, and fractions PLA2 (BleuPLA2 and BmarPLA2) and LAAO (Ble

21. Alterations in biochemical components in mesta plants infected with yellow vein mosaic disease
Yellow vein mosaic disease of mesta (kenaf, Hibiscus cannabinus L.; and roselle, H. sabdariffa L.) is a new entrant to the disease scenario and it is associated with a novel monopartite Begomovirus. Changes in different biochemical parameters in diseased mesta plants were observed as compared to healthy ones. Isozyme pattern and assays of different enzymes,

22. Structural and functional caracterization of L-aminoácido oxidases isolated from snake Bothrops venoms / Caracterização funcional e estrutural de L-aminoácido oxidases isoladas de venenos de serpentes do gênero Bothrops
The aim of this project was the isolation of three L-aminoacid oxidases from Bothrops jararaca, Bothrops moojeni and Bothrops pirajai snake venoms, respectively, in addition to their biochemical, enzymatic, pharmacological and toxicological characterization. They were named BjarLAAO-I, BmooLAAO-I and BpirLAAO-I, respectively, and their isolation involved two

Bothrops snake venoms are cytotoxic to a variety of cells (endothelial, smooth muscle, renal and inflammatory cells), and may cause cell death by apoptosis. The venom components implicated in apoptosis include metalloproteinases and L-amino acid oxidase. In contrast, although acidic deoxyribonucleases (DNase II) have been implicated in DNA fragmentation duri

24. CaracterizaÃÃo bioquÃmica e funcional de uma nova L-aminoÃcido oxidase isolada da peÃonha da serpente Bothrops pirajai
In this work we describe the isolation of a new L-amino acid oxidase (LAAO) referred to as BpirLAAO-I from Bothrops pirajai snake venom, which was highly purified using a combination of molecular exclusion, affinity and hydrophobic chromatography steps. BpirLAAO-I is a homodimeric acidic glycoprotein (approximate Mr and pI of 130,000 and 4.9, respectively),
