Isolation and characterization of a serine proteinase with thrombin-like activity from the venom of the snake Bothrops asper
(2008-01)
A serine proteinase with thrombin-like activity was isolated from the venom of the Central American pit viper Bothrops asper. Isolation was performed by a combination of affinity chromatography on aminobenzamidine-Sepharose ...
Local and systemic pathophysiological alterations induced by a serine proteinase from the venom of the snake Bothrops jararacussu
(2007-06-01)
The local and systemic pathophysiological alterations induced by BjussuSP-I, a thrombin-like serine proteinase from the venom of the snake Bothrops jararacussu, were assessed in mice. BjussuSP-I induced a mild edema but ...
Biochemical and biological characterization of two serine proteinases from Colombian Crotalus durissus cumanensis snake venom
(2013-03-01)
Two clotting serine proteinases, named Cdc SI and Cdc SII, were isolated and characterized for the first time from Colombian Crotalus durissus cumanensis snake venom. The enzymes were purified using two chromatographic ...
Thrombocytopenia and platelet hypoaggregation induced by Bothrops asper snake venom. Toxins involved and their contribution to metalloproteinase-induced pulmonary hemorrhage.
(2005-07)
Thrombocytopenia and platelet dysfunction occur in patients bitten by Bothrops sp snakes in Latin America. An experimental model was developed in mice to study the effects of B. asper venom in platelet numbers and function. ...
Experimental pathophysiology of systemic alterations induced by Bothrops asper snake venom
(2009-12-01)
Moderate and severe envenomations by the snake Bothrops asper provoke systemic alterations, such as systemic bleeding, coagulopathy, hypovolemia, hemodynamic instability and shock, and acute renal failure. Systemic hemorrhage ...
Effects of Bothrops asper snake venom on lymphatic vessels: insights into a hidden aspect of envenomation
(PlosOne 2(10):e318, 2008-10-15)
Background: Envenomations by the snake Bothrops asper represent a serious medical problem in Central America and parts of South America. These envenomations concur with drastic local tissue pathology, including a prominent ...
Effect of the metalloproteinase inhibitor batimastat in the systemic toxicity induced by Bothrops asper snake venom: understanding the role of metalloproteinases in envenomation
(2014-03-15)
The peptidomimetic hydroxamate metalloproteinase inhibitor batimastat (BB-94) was assessed for its ability to neutralize the systemic effects (lethality, hemorrhage and coagulopathy) induced by the venom of Bothrops asper, ...
