Role of nitric oxide in the local and systemic pathophysiological effects induced by Bothrops asper snake venom in mice
(2006)
Objective
To assess the role of nitric oxide in the most relevant local and systemic manifestations in mice injected with the venom of the snake Bothrops asper. Mice were pretreated with nitric oxide synthase inhibitors, ...
Effects of a myotoxic phospholipase A2 isolated from Bothrops asper venom on skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum
(1987)
The myotoxin from B. asper snake venom inhibited Ca-ATPase activity of rabbit sarcoplasmic reticulum after incubation in vitro. Inhibition was non-competitive and albumin enhanced the effect of the toxin. Furthermore, B. ...

Assessment of metalloproteinase inhibitors clodronate and doxycycline in the neutralization of hemorrhage and coagulopathy induced by Bothrops asper snake venom
(2008-12-01)
Snake venom metalloproteinases (SVMPs) play a prominent role in the local and systemic manifestations of viperid snakebite envenomations. Thus, the possibility of using metalloproteinase inhibitors in the treatment of these ...
Structure of a calcium-independent phospholipase-like myotoxic protein from Bothrops asper venom
(1995-05-01)
Myotoxin II, a myotoxic calcium-independent phospholipase-like protein isolated from the venom of Bothrops asper, possesses no detectable phospholipase activity. The crystal structure has been determined and refined at 2.8 ...
Bothrops asper metalloproteinase BaP1 is inhibited by alpha(2)-macroglobulin and mouse serum and does not induce systemic hemorrhage or coagulopathy
(2004-02)
The ability of the P-I metalloproteinase BaP1, isolated from the venom of the snake Bothrops asper, to induce systemic bleeding, thrombocytopenia and defibrinogenation was assessed in an experimental mouse model. Intravenous ...

Localization of Myotoxin I and Myotoxin II from the venom of Bothrops asper in a murine model
(2021)
Phospholipases A2 (PLA2s) and PLA2-like proteins are significant components of snake venoms. Some of these proteins act as potent toxins causing muscle necrosis, which may lead to amputation in severe envenomings. Fundamental ...
