La crotoxina, una sustancia extraída del veneno de la cascabel tropical austral (Crotalus durissus terrificus), ha venido siendo estudiada desde hace casi un siglo debido a su potencial analgésico, antiinflamatorio, antitumoral e incluso como un paralizante muscular más potente que la toxina botulínica. Sin embargo, la toxicidad de su molécula constituye aún un factor que limita su aplicación como medicamento.

There’s renewed hope that a venom compound from the South American rattlesnake could one day be used to ease chronic pain, after scientists have found a way to reduce its toxicity while boosting the compound’s analgesic properties.
Crotoxin, found in the venom of this rattlesnake species (Crotalus durissus ssp. terrificus), is already well known for being an anti-inflammatory painkiller, and a muscle paralyser. But it’s also exceedingly toxic. The new study shows that [...]

Crotoxin, derived from the venom of the South American rattlesnake Crotalus durissus terrificus, has been studied for almost a hundred years for its analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antitumor actions and as an even more powerful muscle paralyzer than botulinum toxin. Nonetheless, the toxicity of crotoxin limits its medicinal use.
A new study, revealed by Brazilian researchers in the journal Toxins, exhibits that crotoxin’s therapeutic effects might be enhanced and its toxicity reduced [...]
