Castanheira LE, Rodrigues RS, Boldrini-França J, Fonseca FP, Henrique-Silva F, Homsi-Brandeburgo MI, Rodrigues VM.
PMID: 24987408
J Venom Anim Toxins Incl Trop Dis. 2014 Jun 10;20:25. doi: 10.1186/1678-9199-20-25. eCollection 2014.

BACKGROUND: Hyaluronate is one of the major components of extracellular matrix from vertebrates whose breakdown is catalyzed by the enzyme hyaluronidase. These enzymes are widely described in snake venoms, in which they facilitate the spreading of the main toxins...

Enzymatic activities of some snake venoms from families Elapidae and Viperidae.

Pakistan journal of pharmaceutical sciences

Alam JM, Qasim R, Alam SM.
PMID: 16414774
Pak J Pharm Sci. 1996 Jan;9(1):37-41.

Alkaline phosphomonoesterase, phosphodiesterase, L-amino acid oxidase, hyaluronidase, 5'-nucleotidase, arginine ester hydrolase, phospholipase A2 and proteinase activities were determined in eight snake venoms, including three from sea snake, of families Elapidae and Viperidae from Pakistan. The species includes three sea...

THE COAGULATION OF BLOOD BY SNAKE VENOMS AND ITS PHYSIOLOGIC SIGNIFICANCE.

The Journal of experimental medicine

Eagle H.
PMID: 19870622
J Exp Med. 1937 Apr 30;65(5):613-39. doi: 10.1084/jem.65.5.613.

Nine of the 17 venoms here tested were found capable of coagulating citrated blood or plasma. As has been believed by most workers in the field, 7 of these 9 coagulant venoms convert fibrinogen to an insoluble modification resembling...

A SPREADING FACTOR IN CERTAIN SNAKE VENOMS AND ITS RELATION TO THEIR MODE OF ACTION.

The Journal of experimental medicine

Duran-Reynals F.

Proteomics in Venom Research: a Focus on PLA2 Molecules.

Acta chimica Slovenica

Calvete JJ.
PMID: 24061110
Acta Chim Slov. 2011 Dec;58(4):629-37.

This paper focuses on the application of proteomic tools to study the composition and natural history of snake venoms, and their crossreactivity with current homologous and heterologous antivenoms. Proteomic analyses on Bothrops indicated the suitability of using PLA2 molecules...

An in vitro evaluation of the Native American ethnomedicinal plant Eryngium yuccifolium as a treatment for snakebite envenomation.

Journal of intercultural ethnopharmacology
