BACKGROUND: Scorpion envenomation is common among desert dwellers, affecting several systems and resulting in multiple organ dysfunction (MOD) or failure (MOF), mainly due to their action on Na(+) channels. Although scorpion venoms toxins do not pass the blood brain...

Cytotoxic Effects of two Iranian Scorpions Odontobuthusdoriae and Bothutus saulcyi on Five Human Cultured Cell lines and Fractions of Toxic Venom.

Iran J Pharm Res. 2012;11(1):357-67.

Scorpion venom toxicity is of major concern due to its influence on human activities and public health. We investigated the in-vitro process of cell death caused by two Iranian scorpions Odontobuthus doriae and Bothutus salceyi venom on human cell...

Imperatoxin A, a Cell-Penetrating Peptide from Scorpion Venom, as a Probe of Ca-Release Channels/Ryanodine Receptors.

Pharmaceuticals (Basel, Switzerland)

Gurrola GB, Capes EM, Zamudio FZ, Possani LD, Valdivia HH.
PMID: 20668646
Pharmaceuticals (Basel). 2010 Apr 01;3(4):1093-1107. doi: 10.3390/ph3041093.

Scorpion venoms are rich in ion channel-modifying peptides, which have proven to be invaluable probes of ion channel structure-function relationship. We previously isolated imperatoxin A (IpTxa), a 3.7 kDa peptide activator of Ca(2+)-release channels/ryanodine receptors (RyRs) [1,2,3] and founding...

Sequence characterization of cDNA sequence of encoding of an antimicrobial Peptide with no disulfide bridge from the Iranian mesobuthus eupeus venomous glands.

Iran Red Crescent Med J. 2013 Jan;15(1):36-41. doi: 10.5812/ircmj.4024. Epub 2013 Jan 05.

BACKGROUND: Scorpion venom glands produce some antimicrobial peptides (AMP) that can rapidly kill a broad range of microbes and have additional activities that impact on the quality and effectiveness of innate responses and inflammation.OBJECTIVES: In this study, we reported...

Mass landscapes of seven scorpion species: The first analyses of Australian species with 1,5-DAN matrix.

Journal of venom research

Smith JJ, Jones A, Alewood PF.
PMID: 23236582
J Venom Res. 2012;3:7-14. Epub 2012 Oct 23.

Scorpion venoms have been studied for over fifty years; however, the majority of research has focussed primarily on medically important Buthidae species. Additionally, venoms of the estimated 200 species of scorpion native to Australia have received very little attention....

Neurological and Systemic Manifestations of Severe Scorpion Envenomation.

Cureus

PMID: 34055554
Cureus. 2021 Apr 27;13(4):e14715. doi: 10.7759/cureus.14715.

Scorpion envenomation is a life-threatening toxicological emergency and considered as a major public health problem, especially in endemic regions (India, Africa, Latin America); it is generally characterized by low resources and tropical or subtropical weather. Scorpion envenomation is especially...

A non-lethal method for studying scorpion venom gland transcriptomes, with a review of potentially suitable taxa to which it can be applied.

PloS one

Vonk FJ, Bittenbinder MA, Kerkkamp HMI, Grashof DGB, Archer JP, Afonso S, Richardson MK, Kool J, van der Meijden A.
PMID: 34793470
PLoS One. 2021 Nov 18;16(11):e0258712. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0258712. eCollection 2021.

Scorpion venoms are mixtures of proteins, peptides and small molecular compounds with high specificity for ion channels and are therefore considered to be promising candidates in the venoms-to-drugs pipeline. Transcriptomes are important tools for studying the composition and expression...

Mass spectrometry-based top-down and bottom-up approaches for proteomic analysis of the Moroccan Buthus occitanus scorpion venom.
