A group of small proteins, designated as muscarinic toxins (MTs), have been isolated from the venom of African green mamba (Dendroaspis angusticeps) and documented to bind selectively to individual muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) subtypes. These components have less been reported to be isolated from other snake venoms. In this study, we have isolated a snake factor with high affinity for...
The molecular weights of two phospholipase A 2 (PLA 2 )-interacting polypeptides (kaouthiotoxins (KTXs)—KTX-A and KTX-B) purified from the venom of monocled cobra Naja kaouthia, were estimated by mass spectrometry as 7722 and 7627Da, respectively. Binary sequence alignment showed that both KTXs share substantial sequence homology with weak neurotoxins from cobra venom and they were...
A compound (AIPLAI (Azadirachta indica PLA 2 inhibitor)) purified from the methanolic leaf extract of A. indica (Neem) inhibits the cobra and Russell's viper venoms (RVVs) phospholipase A 2 enzymes in a dose-dependent manner. Inhibition of catalytic and tested pharmacological properties of cobra venom (Naja naja and Naja kaouthia) PLA 2 enzymes by AIPLAI is significantly higher...
