Enzyme inhibitions by Snake Venoms
نویسنده
چکیده
1. Chromatography on silica gel, combined with infrared spectrometry, has been used to analyse mixtures of bile acids. 2. The results obtained by applying this method to an ox bile-salt preparation are described. Methyl lithocholate (methyl 3-hydroxycholanate) (1.8 mg.), methyl deoxycholate (methyl 3:12-dihydroxycholanate) (38 mg.), methyl chenodeoxycholate (methyl 3:7-dihydroxycholanate) (0-6 mg.) and methyl cholate (methyl 3:7:12-trihydroxycholanate) (181 mg.) were recovered from 250 mg. of crude mixed esters.

Inhibition of proteases and phospholipases A2 from Bothrops atrox and Crotalus durissus terrificus snake venoms by ascorbic acid, vitamin E, and B-complex vitamins.
The enzyme inhibition by natural and/ or low-cost compounds may represent a valuable adjunct to traditional serotherapy performed in cases of snakebite, mainly with a view to mitigate the local effects of envenoming. The objective of this study was to evaluate possible interactions between vitamins and enzymes that comprise Bothrops atrox and Crotalus durissus terrificus venoms, in vitro. Prote...
متن کاملDetection of Snake Venom in Post-Antivenom Samples by Dissociation Treatment Followed by Enzyme Immunoassay.
Venom detection is crucial for confirmation of envenomation and snake type in snake-bite patients. Enzyme immunoassay (EIA) is used to detect venom, but antivenom in samples prevents venom detection. We aimed to detect snake venom in post-antivenom samples after dissociating venom-antivenom complexes with glycine-HCl (pH 2.2) and heating for 30 min at 950 °C. Serum samples underwent dissociatio...
متن کاملIsolation and Purification of L-amino Acid Oxidase from Indian Cobra Naja naja
The enzyme L-Amino Acid Oxidase (LAAO) is widely distributed in snake venoms, contributes a reasonable toxicity to the venoms. However LAAO from Indian cobra (Naja naja ) snake venom has not yet isolated previously. In the present study LAAO from Indian cobra (Naja naja ) snake venom was purified by sequential steps of cation exchange chromatography (CM-Sephadex C-25; CM-52 cellulose), followed...
متن کاملMolecular cloning of serine proteases from elapid snake venoms.
Serine proteases are widely distributed in viperid snake venoms, but rare in elapid snake venoms. Previously, we have identified a fibrinogenolytic enzyme termed OhS1 from the venom of Ophiophagus hannah. The results indicated that OhS1 might be a serine protease, but there was no structural evidence previously. In the present study, the primary structure of OhS1 was determined by protein seque...

introduction.?Snake venom is a secretion from the specialized glands in the mouth of the snake, analogous to the salivary glands of other animals. The venom itself is a complicated Protein and behaves like an enzyme. It is^ a neurotropic poison which is also endowed with digestive functions. Its strong proteolytic Properties are well known. A rat after being swallowed whole by a snake is comple...
