1. O laser de baixa potência seria terapêutico para lesões causadas por acidentes ofídicos do gênero Bothrops?
Ainda não há evidências científicas em humanos, entretanto, em caráter experimental e de pesquisa, a laserterapia tem sido usada em lesões necróticas incapacitantes secundárias à picada por serpente na região amazônica, devido seu importante impacto em saúde pública pela retirada precoce do trabalhador na geração de renda. Assim, os benefí

2. Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Novel 1,3-Benzoxathiol-2-one Sulfonamides against Toxic Activities of the Venom of Bothrops jararaca and Bothrops jararacussu Snakes
This work describes the synthesis of new 1,3-benzoxathiol-2-one sulfonamides and evaluation of their ability to inhibit some in vitro (coagulant, proteolytic and hemolytic) and in vivo (hemorrhagic, edematogenic and lethality) toxic activities of Bothrops jararaca and Bothrops jararacussu venoms. Compounds have been synthesized from the coupling of intermedi

3. Proteomic analysis of the venom of the social wasp Apoica pallens (Hymenoptera: Vespidae)
ABSTRACT Wasps are a diverse group of insects that possess a sting apparatus associated with a venom gland, which is used for predation and colony defense. The biochemistry of Hymenoptera venom has been evaluated in relation to allergy and immunology, and proteomics has been shown to be a powerful tool for the identification of compounds with pharmacological

4. Protein structure of the venom in nine species of snake: from bio-compounds to possible healing agents
Due to its various structures in bio-compounds, snake venom is the indisputable result of evolutionary stages of molecules with an increasingly complex structure, high specificity, and of great importance for medicine because of their potential. The present study proposed an underpinning examination of venom composition from nine species of venomous snakes u

6. Heterologous expression and mutagenesis of recombinant Vespa affinis hyaluronidase protein (rVesA2)
Abstract Background: Crude venom of the banded tiger waspVespa affinis contains a variety of enzymes including hyaluronidases, commonly known as spreading factors. Methods: The cDNA cloning, sequence analysis and structural modelling of V. affinis venom hyaluronidase (VesA2) were herein described. Moreover, heterologous expression and mutagenesis of rVesA2

7. Samsum ant venom modulates the immune response and redox status at the acute toxic dose in vivo
Abstract Background: Ant venoms express surface molecules that participate in antigen presentation involving pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines. This work aims to investigate the expression of MHC-II, CD80 and CD86 on the polymorphonuclear cells (PMNs) in rats injected with samsum ant venom (SAV). Methods: Rats were divided into three groups - control,

8. Epidemiological and clinical aspects of snakebites in the upper Juruá River region, western Brazilian Amazonia
RESUMO Este estudo aborda os aspectos clínicos e epidemiológicos dos envenenamentos ofídicos tratados em um hospital em Cruzeiro do Sul, Acre, resultantes de acidentes que ocorreram na região do Alto Juruá, no oeste da Amazônia brasileira. A identidade específica das serpentes que causaram os envenenamentos foi inferida (a) pelos sinais e sintomas apr

9. Unique heterologous fibrin biopolymer with hemostatic, adhesive, sealant, scaffold and drug delivery properties: a systematic review
Abstract Fibrin biopolymers, previously referred as “fibrin glue” or “fibrin sealants”, are natural biomaterials with diverse applications on health. They have hemostatic, adhesive, sealant, scaffold and drug delivery properties and have become widely used in medical and dental procedures. Historically, these biomaterials are produced from human fibr

10. Behavioral effects of Bj-PRO-7a, a proline-rich oligopeptide from Bothrops jararaca venom
The heptapeptide Bj-PRO-7a, isolated and identified from Bothrops jararaca (Bj) venom, produces antihypertensive and other cardiovascular effects that are independent on angiotensin converting enzyme inhibition, possibly relying on cholinergic muscarinic receptors subtype 1 (M1R). However, whether Bj-PRO-7a acts upon the central nervous system and modifies b

11. Cytotoxic effects of Pseudocerastes persicus venom and its HPLC fractions on lung cancer cells
ABSTRACT Background: Several studies have pointed out that certain snake venoms contain compounds presenting cytotoxic activities that selectively interfere with cancer cell metabolism. In this study, Pseudocerastes persicus venom and its fractions were investigated for their anticancer potential on lung cancer cells. Methods: Lung cancer cells (A549) and

12. Local and systemic effects caused by Crotalus durissus terrificus, Crotalus durissus collilineatus, and Crotalus durissus cascavella snake venoms in swiss mice
Abstract INTRODUCTION: Crotalus envenomations cause serious complications and can be fatal without appropriate treatment. Venom isoforms present and inter/intraspecific variations in the venom composition can result in different symptoms presented by bites by snakes from the same species but from different geographical regions. We comparatively evaluated th
