The tumor volume of the BmK venom treated mice is nearly 1/8 of that of control after 21 days, and the tumor weight is less than half of that of control. That BmK venom induces apoptosis and inhibits growth of glioma may result from the inhibition and/or modulation of various ion ...
The scorpion of Androctinus crassicauda is one of the Buthida family members whose neurotoxic venom is deadly to humans. Enzymes are abundant components of animal venom that play roles in local and systemic symptoms following envenoming. The venom of this scorpions conta...
Over 250 potassium channel blockers from scorpion venom are currently known, and some of them display marked channel subtype specificity33,34. These specific Tx are the primary candidates for further FP-Tx engineering. The obvious limitation of the FP-Tx reported here is the rather wide profile ...
a. hector scorpion venom toxin in envenomed experimental animals' biological fluids (Devaux et al., 2002); however, no studies have been documented to create a method for identifying and measuring MTV in India. Considerations like price, storage, and transport stability at room temperature are ...

Tityus discrepans venom ( TdV ) produces digestive hemorrhages, disseminated intravascular coagulation, alveoli fibrin deposition and/or prothrombin and partial thromboplastin time alterations in humans. T. discrepans venom presents an in vitro tissue plasminogen activator-like (tPA-like), fibrino(geno)...
This study reveals for the first time that Mucroporin and Mucroporin-S1 are functional inhibitors of ACE-2 and as such, that components of scorpion venom can be used as potential inhibitors to the ACE-2 receptor of SARS-CoV-2.Fakih, Taufik Muhammad...
The venom of A. amoreuxi produced significant ( p < 0.05) peripheral and central analgesic activity in both animal models. Also, treatment with the scorpion venom showed significant ( p < 0.05) dose-independent reduction in pyrexia of rats. More importantly, the venom significantly inhibited ...
