Isolation, structural characterisation and mode of action of bioactive agents from arachnid and reptile venoms

Isolation, structural characterisation and mode of action of bioactive agents from arachnid and reptile venoms

Selected snake and spider venom fractions were screened for in-vitro insulinotropic activity in glucose responsive BRIN-BDll cells, with insulin secretion measured using radioimmunoassay. Significant insulin secretion was noted for 27 snake venom fractions, containing a diverse range of snake toxin...
