How can you use “crotalid” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Eclipta prostrata and its constituents (wedelolactone, stigmaterol and sitosterol) showed good potential against crotalid venoms.
These compounds may have played a role in the inhibitory effect observed, probably owing to the chelation of the zinc required for the catalytic activity of venom's haemorrhagic metalloproteinases [ 45 ] . Reduction in the intensity of the effects of envenomation could also be achieved by a neutralisation of the venom peptides, polypeptides, proteins and enzymes [ 38 11 ] . There are plants used for snakebite that act by inhibiting the proteolytic activities of the venom and antagonising crotoxin-induced haemolysis, myotoxic and haemorrhagic activities of crotalid venoms [ 46 ] .
While proteases, phospholipase A 2 and nucleotidases are responsible for the haemorrhagic lesions induced by Bothrops jararaca venom, most crotalid myotoxins are phospholipases and some exhibit proteolytic activities [ 12 ] . Crotalid snakes have a wide geographical distribution, this may contribute to differences in their venom composition [ 8 ] . Differences in venom composition may play a role in the effectiveness of the medicinal plants used for snakebites.
Crotalus viridis viridis (western rattlesnake) and Agkistrodon contortrix laticinctus (copperhead) and two phospholipase A 2 myotoxins, CVV myotoxin and ACL myotoxin, isolated from them [ 46 ] . Empirical use of Eclipta prostrata alcoholic extracts to treat crotalid envenomation are supported by these studies [ 12 ] .
The in vitro myotoxicity of the crotalid venoms venoms ( Bothrops jararaca , Bothrops jararacussu and Lachesis muta ) and myotoxins (bothropstoxin, bothropasin and crotoxin) was neutralised by simultaneous exposure of isolated skeletal muscles to an aqueous extract of Eclipta prostrata or to wedelolactone, stigmaterol and sitosterol.
