Varespladib Inhibits the Phospholipase A<sub>2</sub> and Coagulopathic Activities of Venom Components from Hemotoxic Snakes
Phospholipase A<sub>2</sub> (PLA<sub>2</sub>) enzymes are important toxins found in many snake venoms, and they can exhibit a variety of toxic activities including causing hemolysis and/or anticoagulation. In this study, the inhibiting effects of the small molecule PLA<sub...
