Resumo

Snake venoms are complex mixtures of toxins and enzymes showing several biological activities. They are rich in proteolitic enzymes (serine proteases and metalloproteases) involved in activities such as hemorrhage, coagulation disorders, necrosis and inflammation. The serum, plasma and/or muscles of snakes contain inhibitory compounds against these proteases as a protective mechanism avoiding possible damages caused by their own venoms. Preliminary results of this project showed several fractions obtained from snake plasma with high inhibitory potential on proteolytic enzymes.
