Neo-clerodane diterpenoid, a new metalloprotease snake venom inhibitor from Baccharis trimera (Asteraceae): anti-proteolytic and anti-hemorrhagic properties

Many plants are used in traditional medicine as active agents against various effects induced by snakebite. Few attempts have been made however to identify the nature of plant natural products with anti-ophidian properties. Baccharis trimera (Less) DC (Asteraceae), known in Brazil as carqueja, has been popularly used to treat liver diseases, rheumatism, diabetes, as well as digestive, hepatic and renal disorders. The active component was identified as 7-hydroxy-3,13-clerodadiene-16,15:18,19-diolide, C₂₀H₂₈O₅, (clerodane diterpenoid, Bt-CD). We report now the anti-proteolytic and anti-hemorrhagic properties against snake venoms of a Bt-CD inhibitor from B. trimera. Bt-CD exhibited full inhibition of hemorrhage and proteolytic activity caused by Bothrops snake venoms. The inhibitor was able to neutralize the hemorrhagic, fibrinogenolytic and caseinolytic activities of class P-I and III metalloproteases isolated from B. neuwiedi and B. jararacussu venoms. No inhibition of the coagulant activity was observed. Bt-CD also partially inhibited the edema induced by other crude venoms, metalloproteases, basic and acidic phospholipases A₂. To further elucidate the inhibitory specificity of Bt-CD against metalloproteases isolated from snake venoms, a deeper understanding of its structure and function is necessary. Furthermore, the potential use of these inhibitors to complement anti-venom as an alternative treatment of snakebite envenomations needs to be evaluated in future studies.     

Proteins toxic to arthropods in the venom of elapid snakes.

It has been found that the lethal action of elapid snake venoms to arthropods (fly larvae and isopods) is due to proteic factors differing from the toxins which are strongly and specifically active on mammals.This conclusion was based on the following: (1) Lack of any correlation between the toxic activity on larvae, isopods, and mice of ten elapid snake venoms. (2) Absence of any toxicity to arthropods in pure toxins isolated and purified from several elapid snake venoms according to their lethality. (3) Electrophoretical separation of the venom of the snake Naja mossambica mossambica (= N. nigricollis mossambica) resulted in fractions active either to arthropods and/or to mice. (4) Separation of the above venom by gel filtration on Sephadex G-50 enabled the isolation of fractions highly toxic to arthropods. (5) The above fractions demonstrated a high phospholipase activity corresponding to about 80 per cent of the total activity of the whole venom. The link between phospholipase and toxicity to arthropods will serve as a target for further investigation.It appears that the phenomenon of diversity in toxic activities of different proteins to different groups of organism, as previously demonstrated in scorpion venoms, is equally shared by elapid snake venoms.     

Inhibition of Sendai virus by various snake venom.

Viperid, elapid and crotalid snake venoms were screened in vitro for antiviral activity against Sendai virus. The hemolysis of 10(8) human erythrocytes in 1 ml, caused by 70 HAU of Sendai virus, was abolished when the virions were pretreated with 10 ug of the viperid venom of Echis coloratus, and was considerably diminished when pretreated with 10 ug of the venom of Echis carinatus sochureki, the cobra venoms of Naja atra and Naja nigricollis nigricollis. These venoms did not affect the erythrocytes but inhibited the virions themselves irreversibly. All other examined snake venoms had low or no antiviral activity. There was no correlation between the proteolytic and the antiviral activity of the venoms.

A comparative study of the biological properties of some sea snake venoms.

1. The protease, phosphodiesterase, alkaline phosphomonoesterase, L-amino acid oxidase, acetylcholinesterase, phospholipase A, 5'-nucleotidase, hyaluronidase, arginine ester hydrolase, procoagulant, anticoagulant and hemorrhagic activities of ten samples of venoms from seven taxa of sea snakes were examined. 2. The results show that venoms of sea snakes of both subfamilies of Hydrophiinae and Laticaudinae are characterized by a very low level of enzymatic activities, except phospholipase A activity and, for some species, hyaluronidase activity. 3. Because of the low levels of enzymatic activities and the total lack of procoagulant and hemorrhagic activities, venom biological properties are not useful for the differentiation of species of sea snakes. Nevertheless, the unusually low levels of enzymatic activities of sea snake venoms may be used to distinguish sea snake venoms from other elapid or viperid venoms.     

Electrophoretic analysis of snake venoms

Electrophoretic analyses were conducted on snake venoms from 21 species representing Elapidae, Crotalidae and Viperidae. Denatured and native venoms were analyzed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic (PAGE) methods with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and without SDS. Both SDS-PAGE and PAGE profiles of venoms from different snake species indicate that some proteins and polypeptide components of these venoms have common electrophoretic characteristics suggesting a genetic relationship. Conversely, the electropherograms also showed the characteristic protein and polypeptide profiles that could differentiate one snake species from another. Therefore, both SDS-PAGE and PAGE profiles suggest that proteins and polypeptides with similar characteristics abound among subspecies or related species, although each venom has a unique profile that differentiates one species from the other.     

Nucleotidase and DNase activities in Brazilian snake venoms

Among the myriad of enzymes present in animal venoms, nucleotidases and nucleases are poorly investigated. Herein, we studied such enzymes in 28 crude venoms of animals found in Brazil. Higher levels of ATPase, 5'-nucleotidase, ADPase, phosphodiesterase and DNase activities were observed in snake venoms belonging to Bothrops, Crotalus and Lachesis genera than to Micrurus genus. The venom of Bothrops brazili snake showed the highest nucleotidase and DNase activities, whereas that of Micrurus frontalis snake the highest alkaline phosphatase activity. On the other hand, the venoms of the snake Philodryas olfersii and the spider Loxosceles gaucho were devoid of most nucleotidase and DNase activities. Species that exhibited similar nucleotidase activities by colorimetric assays showed different banding pattern by zymography, suggesting the occurrence of structural differences among them. Hydrolysis of nucleotides showed that 1 mol of ATP is cleaved in 1 mol of pyrophosphate and 1 mol of orthophosphate, whereas 1 mol of ADP is cleaved exclusively in 2 mol of orthophosphates. Pyrophosphate is barely hydrolyzed by snake venoms. Phosphodiesterase activity was better correlated with 5'-nucleotidase, ADPase and ATPase activities than with DNase activity, evidencing that phosphodiesterases are not the main agent of DNA hydrolysis in animal venoms. The omnipresence of nucleotidase and DNase activities in viperid venoms implies a role for them within the repertoire of enzymes involved in immobilization and death of preys.     

Identification and phylogeny of Arabian snakes: Comparison of venom chromatographic profiles versus 16S rRNA gene sequences

Identification of snake species is important for various reasons including the emergency treatment of snake bite victims. We present a simple method for identification of six snake species using the gel filtration chromatographic profiles of their venoms. The venoms of Echis coloratus, Echis pyramidum, Cerastes gasperettii, Bitis arietans, Naja arabica, and Walterinnesia aegyptia were milked, lyophilized, diluted and centrifuged to separate the mucus from the venom. The clear supernatants were filtered and chromatographed on fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC). We obtained the 16S rRNA gene sequences of the above species and performed phylogenetic analysis using the neighbor-joining method. The chromatograms of venoms from different snake species showed peculiar patterns based on the number and location of peaks. The dendrograms generated from similarity matrix based on the presence/absence of particular chromatographic peaks clearly differentiated Elapids from Viperids. Molecular cladistics using 16S rRNA gene sequences resulted in jumping clades while separating the members of these two families. These findings suggest that chromatographic profiles of snake venoms may provide a simple and reproducible chemical fingerprinting method for quick identification of snake species. However, the validation of this methodology requires further studies on large number of specimens from within and across species.     

Cloning and characterization of novel snake venom proteins that block smooth muscle contraction.

In this study, we isolated a 25-kDa novel snake venom protein, designated ablomin, from the venom of the Japanese Mamushi snake (Agkistrodon blomhoffi). The amino-acid sequence of this protein was determined by peptide sequencing and cDNA cloning. The deduced sequence showed high similarity to helothermine from the Mexican beaded lizard (Heloderma horridum horridum), which blocks voltage-gated calcium and potassium channels, and ryanodine receptors. Ablomin blocked contraction of rat tail arterial smooth muscle elicited by high K+-induced depolarization in the 0.1-1 microm range, but did not block caffeine-stimulated contraction. Furthermore, we isolated three other proteins from snake venoms that are homologous to ablomin and cloned the corresponding cDNAs. Two of these homologous proteins, triflin and latisemin, also inhibited high K+-induced contraction of the artery. These results indicate that several snake venoms contain novel proteins with neurotoxin-like activity.
