Snakebite accidents are classified by the World Health Organization as a neglected tropical disease responsible for approximately 2.5 million cases of envenomation and 150,000 deaths per year, especially in rural regions of Africa, Asia, Latin America and Oceania. In Brazil, the Viperidae family represents the most important group of snakes for public health, as they are responsible for t…
Envenomation by snakebites is classified by the World Health Organization as a neglected tropical disease, responsible for approximately 2.5 million envenomations and 150,000 deaths per year. In Brazil, species belonging to the genus Bothrops represent the most important group of snakes for public health, accounting for about 86.7% of recorded snakebites. Among these species, the one with…
Snake venoms are the most studied animal toxins. The variability of venom composition was described not only intra- and interspecies but also according to sex, age and geographical distribution of the snakes, and in most studies the diet of snakes was considered as the triggering factor for this variation. The Herpetology Laboratory of the Butantan Institute provides venoms for antivenom …

The venom of venomous animals is composed of a wide range of enzymes, biologically active peptides and other toxins that have a varied toxic effect on the body, including coagulation, fibrinolysis and altered platelet functions. In extreme cases, it can even lead to multiple organ failure and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), thus demonstrating a need to conduct research and d…
Snake venoms are the most studied animal toxins. Its composition is complex, being composed mainly by proteins, which correspond to approximately 90% of its dry weight. Snake venom proteins are subject to Darwinian evolution and the variation in venom composition is observed at different taxonomic levels. Studies consistently demonstrate that there are large variations in the composition …
Snake venoms are complex mixtures of proteins and polypeptides responsible for immobilization, death and digestion of the prey. Although snake venoms have been deeply studied, there are still some toxins with functions not fully elucidated, such as L-amino acid oxidases (SV-LAAOs). It is known that several factors influence the composition of the snake venoms. Geographic distribution, fee…

Antithrombin is a plasma glycoprotein belonging to the serpin family that plays a key role in controlling hemostasis, acting as an important inhibitor of blood coagulation by inactivating thrombin and other serine proteases, such as factors VIIa, IXa, Xa, XIa and XIIa. In addition to participating as a major physiological inhibitor of blood coagulation, antithrombin has anti-inflammatory …
