CENTIPEDE VENOM TOXINS AND ITS BIOMEDICAL AND PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES

The present review article explains venoms from various centipede species with their biomedical and pharmacological properties. Centipede venom is a natural source of bioactive proteins, peptides other small molecules. These use as defense arsenals to paralyze prey. This paper sketch out important physiological effects like platelet aggregation, anticoagulant, phospholipase A2 trypsin inhibiting activity. toxins selectively bind Kv2.1 channel block them. disrupts cardiovascular, respiratory, muscular nervous systems by targeting the broadly distributed KCNQ channels. It also signifies toxin-voltage-gated integrations its inhibition. can be used for developing drugs treatments well bio-insecticides insect control.
