1. Chemical Constituents and Cytotoxic Activity of Rhinella jimi (Anura: Bufonidae)
Rhinella jimi toads (Stevaux, 2002) belong to the Bufonidae family, are endemic in the Brazilian Northeast and are commonly found during rainy periods. In general, amphibians of this family have in their poisons different metabolites that show a diversity of pharmacological activities. The isolation and identification of these compounds are of great importan

2. Assessment of neuropharmacological potential of low molecular weight components extracted from Rhinella schneideri toad poison
Abstract Background: Studies on toad poison are relevant since they are considered a good source of toxins that act on different biological systems. Among the molecules found in the toad poison, it can be highlighted the cardiotonic heterosides, which have a known mechanism that inhibit Na+/K+-ATPase enzyme. However, these poisons have many other molecules

3. Deep sequencing analysis of toad Rhinella schneideri skin glands and partial biochemical characterization of its cutaneous secretion
Abstract Background: Animal poisons and venoms are sources of biomolecules naturally selected. Rhinella schneideri toads are widespread in the whole Brazilian territory and they have poison glands and mucous gland. Recently, protein from toads’ secretion has gaining attention. Frog skin is widely known to present great number of host defense peptides and

4. A QUÍMICA DOS POVOS INDÍGENAS DA AMÉRICA DO SUL
The contribution of non-European cultures to science and technology, primarily to chemistry, has gained very little attentions until now. Especially the high technological intelligence and inventiveness of South American native populations shall be put into a different light by our contribution. The purpose of this essay is to show that mainly in the area of

7. Factors affecting road crash modeling
Abstract Road accident fatalities have been on an increasing trend for the last decade or so in India. Hence traffic safety management has emerged as a topic of discussion for researchers all over the world. Hence accident modelling on different factors causing them has to be conducted. Accident modelling helps us to know the real causative agents behind an

8. Accident involving a 2-year-old child and Lonomia obliqua venom: clinical and coagulation abnormalities
Poisons of caterpillars have different effects on inflammatory and coagulation systems. This is a case report of a 2-year-old child that accidentally came in contact with several caterpillars of the species Lonomia obliqua. At first, the patient's exams presented abnormal coagulation and decreased fibrinogen, but the patient did not evolve to active bleeding

9. Toxicidade seletiva da crotamina do veneno de Crotalus durissus terrificus sobre as células indutoras de tumores. / Cancer Cells selective toxicity of crotamine, Crotalus durissis terrificus.
Crotamina é um peptídeo de baixo peso molecular composto de 42 resíduos de aminoácidos. A presença de nove resíduos de lisina e três pontes dissulfeto confere a crotamina compactibilidade elevada, estabilidade, carga positiva líquida, apresentando similaridade estrutural com defensina, um peptídeo antimicrobiano do epitélio humano. Crotamina até 1

10. Glândula acessória e ducto primário de serpente Bothrops jararaca durante o ciclo de produção de veneno: um estudo morfológico. / Acessory gland and primary duct of the Bothrops jararaca snake during the venom production cycle: a morphological study.
The accessory gland (AG) and the primary duct (PD) are components of the venom gland apparatus of Bothrops jararaca snake. There are few studies about AG and PD and there is still controversy on whether the secretions released by these regions can modify the total venom. Our results show that AG presents simple secretory epithelium with mucous secretory cell

11. Avaliação da possível diferença na sensibilidade dolorosa de ratos machos e fêmeas e da resposta de cada sexo a crotalfina, um analgésico tipo opióide. / Sex differences in nociception and in the antinociceptive activity of crotalphine, an opioid-like analgesic drug.
Evidências clínicas e experimentais têm sugerido a existência de diferenças na sensação de dor e na resposta a fármacos analgésicos entre machos e fêmeas. A crotalfina (CRF), um peptídeo inicialmente isolado e caracterizado no veneno de serpentes Crotalus durissus terrificus, apresenta efeito antinociceptivo, quando avaliado em diferentes modelos

12. Modulation of macrophage function by Nattectin: a C-type lectin from Thalassophryne nattereri fish venom. / Modulação da função de macrófagos pela nattectina: uma lectina tipo C do veneno de Thalassophryne nattereri.
A Nattectina é uma toxina isolada do veneno de Thalassophryne nattereri que possui homologia com lectinas tipo C. Este estudo consistiu em avaliar a ação da Nattectina sobre as funções de macrófagos e a influência de citocinas Th1/Th2 nessa ativação. Nossos resultados mostram que a Nattectina induziu o aumento da expressão de moléculas coestimulad
