Identification of compounds from Heterometrus laoticus (Laos forest scorpion)'s venom possessing anticoagulant activity by MS and NMR

Abstract

Venomous animals possess a wide range of toxins for predation and defense. It is difficult to comprehend the exact number of venomous species or the number of toxins they produce. Several venomous animals and their toxins (from snakes, scorpions, spiders, snails, lizards, frogs, fish, and insects) have been investigated to explore their biological activities and therapeutic potential. These toxins are reported to exhibit a variety of pharmacological activities, such as myotoxic, neurotoxic, hemolytic, platelet-aggregation inhibition, anticoagulant, inflammatory, analgesic, anticancer, and antibacterial. This study explored the therapeutic potential of animals and animal toxins possessing anticoagulant activity, especially Heterometrus laoticus (H. laoticus scorpion)’s venom, for drug development in the future.
