Centipede Venoms as a Source of Pharmacological Leads

Kenz Cope

Centipede venom has a complex pharmacologic mix of toxins that may induce extreme pain as well as other serious side effects such allergy, myocardial ischemia, and neurotoxicity. Centipede bites are treated with pain relievers, wound care, and tetanus boosters. Centipedes are one of the most ancient and effective venomous terrestrial predator groups. Centipede venoms have been used in traditional medicine for millennia, but little research has been done on them.
