Natural inhibitors of snake venoms play a significant role in the ability to neutralize the degradation effects induced by venom toxins. It has been known for many years that animal sera and some plant extracts are competent in neutralizing snake venoms. The purpose of this review is to highlight the recent work that has been accomplished with natural inhibitors of snake venoms as well as revis...

development of inhibitor to factor viii is the most serious complication of hemophilia therapy. to determine the prevalence of inhibitors in iran hemophilia a patients exposed to blood products, 1280 hemophilia a patients (age range 9 months-84 years) were evaluated. all patients received several blood products such as fresh frozen plasma (ffp), cryoprecipitate, and factor viii. 635 of 1280 pat...

Medicinal plants and marine sources are important elements of indigenous medical systems worldwide. The natural drugs from medicinal plants and marine sources have received considerable interest in treatment of diabetes and inflammation. Based on literature, alpha glucosidase, aldose reductase and PTP1B enzymes were chosen as anti-diabetes targets and PLA(2) was chosen for the anti-inflammatory...

Aflatoxin production inhibitors, which do not inhibit the growth of aflatoxigenic fungi, may be used to control aflatoxin without incurring a rapid spread of resistant strains. A respiration inhibitor that inhibits aflatoxin production was identified during a screening process for natural, aflatoxin-production inhibitors. This prompted us to evaluate respiration inhibitors as potential aflatoxi...

Endogenous protein kinase inhibitors are essential for a wide range of physiological functions. These endogenous inhibitors may mimic peptide substrates as in the case of the heat-stable protein kinase inhibitor (PKI), or they may mimic nucleotide triphosphates. Natural product inhibitors, endogenous to the unique organisms producing them, can be potent exogenous inhibitors against foreign prot...
