Pharmacological Characterisation of <i>Pseudocerastes</i> and <i>Eristicophis</i> Viper Venoms Reveal Anticancer (Melanoma) Properties and a Potentially Novel Mode of Fibrinogenolysis

Pharmacological Characterisation of <i>Pseudocerastes</i> and <i>Eristicophis</i> Viper Venoms Reveal Anticancer (Melanoma) Properties and a Potentially Novel Mode of Fibrinogenolysis

Venoms are a rich source of potential lead compounds for drug discovery, and descriptive studies of venom form the first phase of the biodiscovery process. In this study, we investigated the pharmacological potential of crude <i>Pseudocerastes</i> and <i>Eristicophis</i> snak...
