The SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19, spread rapidly to all regions of the world, causing the global pandemic in March 2020. The preventive method against the viral infection currently adopted by several countries is vaccination. A large number of clinical studies are underway with the aim of finding effective drugs or procedures against the disease. One option is the immunotherapy with …
Venomous animals are amongst the most successful animals on Earth's evolutionary history. One of the important factors for their success is the production of venoms, used to subdue prey and as protection against possible predators. Most active toxins are proteins and peptides, elaborated and refined over millions of years of evolution. Venom toxins have served as leads for molecules with …
The diversity of biological activities found in spider secretions as venom and hemolymph have motivated several research groups to search for molecules with potential therapeutic use, which results in an increasing number of toxins isolated and sequenced over the years. But despite advances, the number of spider peptides isolated and characterized is estimated to be only 0.01% of all poss…
The snake Bothrops atrox is known as one of the most lethal to humans in South America. It can be found across the north of the South American continent and east of the Andes. Most of the active biological components of its venom are proteins and peptides, elaborated and refined over millions of years of evolution. Venom toxins have been sources of inspiration for drug research and have b…
Represented by more than 46,000 species and 4,029 genera, the order Araneae established its evolutionary success, among other reasons, due to the toxic properties of their venoms, enabling the species to defend against predators and to subdue preys. Venomics studies on spiders have been growing over the last years, since proteins and peptides make up most of the venom active molecules. Th…
The genus of snakes Naja, also known by the popular name "cobra-de-capelo" is characteristic for aggregating venomous and very aggressive animals, counting approximately 29 species. Among them is the Naja kaouthia, also known as monocle snake or monocle. Venomous snakes use venoms to subdue prey and as protection against predators. Venoms are composed of biologically active peptidic and p…
