Summary: | The aim of this study was to evaluate the antibothropic and anti-inflammatory properties of
Phytochemical screening and thin-layer chromatography (TLC) assays were performed on
hydroalcoholic extract (TE) in order to observe its main constituents. The antibothropic activity of TE was evaluated by the
neuromuscular blockade caused by
venom (Bjssu), in a mouse phrenic nerve-diaphragm model (PND). A quantitative histological study was carried out to observe a possible protection of TE against the venom myotoxicity. The anti-inflammatory activity was also evaluated in two models, Bjssu-induced paw edema, and carrageenan-induced neutrophils migration in the peritoneal cavity.
TLC analysis revealed several compounds in TE, such as saponins, alkaloids, and phenolic constituents. TE was able to neutralize the blockade and the myotoxicity induced by venom, when it was pre-incubated for 30 min with venom. In addition, it showed anti-inflammatory activity, inducing less neutrophils migration and reducing paw edema.
showed both antibothropic and anti-inflammatory properties. |
