Abstract:
The World Health Organization (WHO)
in 2017, classified snake envenomation as a high-priority neglected disease and
highlighted its severe impact to mankind. More than 2.7 million poisonous bites
have been recorded annually, resulting in approximately 100,000 deaths and created
many more disabilities. The basic treatment for snake envenomation is to
administer specific antivenoms tailored to the snake species involved, and
supportive care. In this study, I would emphasize the mode of action and
chemistry behind the applications of antivenoms for mankind and also how
different snake antivenoms may be successfully employed for medicinal purposes.
Snake antivenoms contain bioactive peptides and enzymes that show therapeutic
potential for conditions such as arthritis, asthma, cancer, chronic pain,
infections and cardiovascular diseases. Despite many challenges, the future of
snake venom-based treatments appears promising for addressing complex medical
conditions.
