Therapeutic application of natural inhibitors against snake venom phospholipase A2
Natural inhibitors occupy an important place in the potential to neutralize the toxic effects caused by snake venom proteins and enzymes. It has been well recognized for several years that animal sera, some of the plant and marine extracts are the most potent in neutralizing snake venom phospholipase A(2) (svPLA(2)). The implication of this review to update the latest research work which has be...
متن کاملQuercetin as an inhibitor of snake venom secretory phospholipase A2.
As polyphenolic compounds isolated from plants extracts, flavonoids have been applied to various pharmaceutical uses in recent decades due to their anti-inflammatory, cancer preventive, and cardiovascular protective activities. In this study, we evaluated the effects of the flavonoid quercetin on Crotalus durissus terrificus secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2), an important protein involved in t...
متن کاملNatural Inhibitors of Snake Venom Metalloendopeptidases: History and Current Challenges
The research on natural snake venom metalloendopeptidase inhibitors (SVMPIs) began in the 18th century with the pioneering work of Fontana on the resistance that vipers exhibited to their own venom. During the past 40 years, SVMPIs have been isolated mainly from the sera of resistant animals, and characterized to different extents. They are acidic oligomeric glycoproteins that remain biological...
متن کاملTherapeutic Potential of Snake Venom
Annually 2.5 million people are bitten by snakes, more than 100,000 fatally. In India a large no of people suffer and die every year due to snake venom poisoning. Venom has been used in the treatment of a variety of pathophysiological conditions in Ayurveda, homeopathy and folk medicine. Snake venom is a natural biological resource, containing a complex mixture of enzymes, peptides and protein ...
متن کاملAssay of snake venom phospholipase A2 using scattering mode of a spectrofluorimeter
When aggregated micelles of phospholipids are hydrolysed by phospholipase A2 (PLA2) in an aqueous dispersion, scattering from the solution is decreased. Hydrolysis of dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine by PLA2 from Russell’s viper venom has been investigated using a spectrofluorimeter at 650 nm. The rate of decrease in scattering was linearly dependent with venom concentration, while the initial l...
