THERAPEUTICS APPROACHES OF INVERTEBRATE ANIMAL TOXINS: A REVIEW

The present review article describes invertebrate venoms and various toxins secreted by them. Animal are stores of novel peptides which exhibit a wide variety biological effects actively interact with pathogen parasites. selectively bind to ion channels receptors display show hemolytic, cytolytic, proteolytic, anti-diabetic, antimicrobial analgesic activity. These generate allergic inflammatory responses in victims. disrupt cell membranes inhibit bacterial growth kill virus entry into host cells obstruct replication. were also found highly effective against protozoan fungal pathogens. By using bioinformatics tools, methods approaches, both structural functional diversity toxin could be harnessed develop broad-spectrum drugs for therapeutics. an inexhaustible source bioactive molecules, used the development immune diagnostics, pharmaceuticals therapeutics bio-insecticides. Present tries explore exceptional specificity high potency animal drug development.
