A search for anti-carcinogenic and cytotoxic effects of Persian Gulf sea snake (Enhydrina schistosa) venom on hepatocellular carcinoma using mitochondria isolated from liver
Common techniques for the treatment of Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have not been successful, and thus the design and discovery of new compounds with better anti-cancer function are needed. Snake venom is among the most important compounds used by researchers to the treatment of various cancers. This study was designed to evaluate the toxicity effect of Persian Gulf snake venom (Enhydrina sch...

متن کاملIsolation and characterization of the toxic component of Enhydrina schistosa (common sea snake) venom.
The toxic component from the venom of the common sea snake (Enhydrina schisfosa) was isolated by passage of the venom through a carboxymethyl cellulose column. The preparation, which was shown to be homogeneous by zonal electrophoresis, ultracentrifugation, isoelectric focusing, and gel filtration, had amedian lethal dose 50 % (LD& toward mice of 0.044 pg per g of body weight. The molecular wei...
