“…Its venom consists of different classes of proteins and peptides like bradykinin-potentiating peptides, convulxin, crotamine, crotoxin, and gyroxin [ 7 - 10 ], crotoxin being the major component [ 11 - 13 ]. Crotoxin is a molecule composed of two subunits that are non-covalently bonded, i.e., subunit A or crotapotin (crotoxin acid chain) and subunit B or phospholipase A 2 (PLA 2 ) [ 11 , 14 - 17 ]. Crotapotin is a non-toxic, non-enzymatic protein [ 6 , 14 ] with anti-inflammatory [ 18 - 20 ], and antimicrobial activities [ 16 , 18 , 19 , 21 , 22 ].…”
