Pharmacognostic and Biochemical Properties of Certain Biomarkers in Snake Venom

Baby Joseph, S. Justin Raj, Biby. T. Edwin and P. Sankarganesh
Snake venom is a special liquid which is produced by the poison gland of the poisonous snake. Snake venoms generally consist of a complex mixture of substances, each of which may exhibit one or more distinct toxic actions. Many of these proteins are harmless to humans but some are toxic. Snake venoms effects include, anti-blood coagulation, neurotoxicity, mycotoxicity, nephrotoxicity, cardiotoxicity and necrotoxicity. Snake venom is hemolytic and neuropathic-type venom. The hemolysis venom is more effective than the neuropathic-type venom and it will work almost immediately to the prey. According to traditional system of medicine, snake venom is widely used in various disorders in skin and blood. It performs good antitumor activity. This study reports on its traditional, chemical and pharmacological properties such as antioxidant, anticancer and analgesic activity.
