Elemental analysis of scorpion venoms.

Journal of venom research

Al-Asmari AK, Kunnathodi F, Al Saadon K, Idris MM.
PMID: 27826410
J Venom Res. 2016 Sep 06;7:16-20. eCollection 2016.

Scorpion venom is a rich source of biomolecules, which can perturb physiological activity of the host on envenomation and may also have a therapeutic potential. Scorpion venoms produced by the columnar cells of venom gland are complex mixture of...

Transcriptomic and proteomic analyses of venom glands from scorpions Liocheles australasiae, Mesobuthus martensii, and Scorpio maurus palmatus.

Peptides

So WL, Leung TCN, Nong W, Bendena WG, Ngai SM, Hui JHL.
PMID: 34461138
Peptides. 2021 Dec;146:170643. doi: 10.1016/j.peptides.2021.170643. Epub 2021 Aug 27.

Scorpion venom contains a cocktail of differing peptides and proteins. Previous studies focused on the identification of species-specific components in scorpion venoms, and whether there could be peptides and/or proteins conserved in the venom gland of a scorpion ancestor...

Antigenic Cross-Reactivity Anti-Birtoxin Antibody against Androctonus crassicauda Venom.

Journal of arthropod-borne diseases

Van Zoelen SA, Ozkan O, Inceoglu B.
PMID: 26623429
J Arthropod Borne Dis. 2015 Mar 11;9(2):176-83. eCollection 2015 Dec.

BACKGROUND: Antivenom is still widely used in the treatment of envenomation as there are no vaccines or other effective agents available against animal venoms. Recently, neurotoxins named birtoxin family have been described from Parabuthus transvaalicus and Androctonus crassicauda. The...

The role of dexamethasone in scorpion venom-induced deregulation of sodium and water transport in rat lungs.

Intensive care medicine experimental

Malaque CM, de Bragança AC, Sanches TR, Volpini RA, Shimizu MH, Hiyane MI, Câmara NO, Seguro AC, Andrade L.
PMID: 26392398
Intensive Care Med Exp. 2015 Dec;3(1):28. doi: 10.1186/s40635-015-0063-0. Epub 2015 Sep 21.

BACKGROUND: Severe scorpion envenomation can evolve to lung injury and, in some cases, death. The lung injury could be attributed to acute left ventricular failure and increased pulmonary vascular permeability secondary to the release of inflammatory mediators. In clinical...

Scorpion toxins targeting Kv1.3 channels: insights into immunosuppression.

The journal of venomous animals and toxins including tropical diseases

Oliveira IS, Ferreira IG, Alexandre-Silva GM, Cerni FA, Cremonez CM, Arantes EC, Zottich U, Pucca MB.

Front Microbiol. 2018 Feb 27;9:320. doi: 10.3389/fmicb.2018.00320. eCollection 2018.

Animal venoms are a mixture of peptides and proteins that serve two basic biological functions: predation and defense against both predators and microbes. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a common component extensively present in various scorpion venoms (herein abbreviated as...

Scorpion Venom: Detriments and Benefits.

Biomedicines

Ahmadi S, Knerr JM, Argemi L, Bordon KCF, Pucca MB, Cerni FA, Arantes EC, Çalışkan F, Laustsen AH.
PMID: 32408604
Biomedicines. 2020 May 12;8(5). doi: 10.3390/biomedicines8050118.

Scorpion venom may cause severe medical complications and untimely death if injected into the human body. Neurotoxins are the main components of scorpion venom that are known to be responsible for the pathological manifestations of envenoming. Besides neurotoxins, a...
