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. Retraction notice for: “Risk factors for early-onset ventilator-associated pneumonia in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage patients” [Braz J Med Biol Res (2018) 51(7): e6830]
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

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

5. 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,

6. The WHO strategy for prevention and control of snakebite envenoming: a sub-Saharan Africa plan
Abstract Snakebite is a critical public health issue in tropical countries, particularly in Africa, where 20% of snakebites globally occur. In 2017, the WHO added snakebite envenoming to the category A of neglected tropical diseases. In 2019, thanks to broad institutional and international NGO support, including strong mobilization of African experts and gov

7. 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

8. 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

9. Jabuticaba (Plinia jaboticaba) skin extracts as inhibitors of phospholipases A2 and proteases
Abstract: The phenolic extracts of jabuticaba skin flour (JSF) were characterized by HPLC, and evaluated for their modulating action upon phospholipases A2 and proteases of snake venom, aiming at their possible use in the treatment of the various diseases associated with the action of venom toxins. Two types of extracts were prepared from JSF: aqueous and me

10. Spider venom peptides as potential drug candidates due to their anticancer and antinociceptive activities
Abstract Spider venoms are known to contain proteins and polypeptides that perform various functions including antimicrobial, neurotoxic, analgesic, cytotoxic, necrotic, and hemagglutinic activities. Currently, several classes of natural molecules from spider venoms are potential sources of chemotherapeutics against tumor cells. Some of the spider peptide to

11. The role of natural products in modern drug discovery.
Abstract: The global medicine market is about 1.1 trillion US dollars. About 35 percent of medicines have originated from natural products. Brazil presents the largest biodiversity in the world, with more than 50,000 species of higher plants. However, few innovative products have been developed in Brazil from active constituents derived from the Brazilian bi

12. Proteome of fraction from Tityus serrulatus venom reveals new enzymes and toxins
Abstract Background: Tityus serrulatus venom (Ts venom) is a complex mixture of several compounds with biotechnological and therapeutical potentials, which highlights the importance of the identification and characterization of these components. Although a considerable number of studies have been dedicated to the characterization of this complex cocktail, t
