Mechanism of ToxicityViperotoxin is a presynaptic neurotoxin. (2)
MetabolismFree toxin may be removed by opsonization via the reticuloendothelial system (primarily the liver and kidneys) or it may be degraded through cellular internalization via the lysosomes. Lysosomes are membrane-enclosed organelles that contain an array of digestive enzymes, including several proteases.
Toxicity ValuesLD50: 2.11 mg/kg (Intravenous, Mouse) (5)
Lethal DoseNot Available
Carcinogenicity (IARC Classification)No indication of carcinogenicity to humans (not listed by IARC).
Uses/SourcesViperotoxin is a peptide toxin produced by the Eastern Russell's viper (Daboia russelli siamensis). (2)
Minimum Risk LevelNot Available
Health EffectsViperotoxin is neurotoxic. (2)
SymptomsBites from snakes in the Viperidae family cause local pain, swelling, edema, skin discoloration, and ecchymosis. (1)
TreatmentAn antivenom exists for viper venom. (3)
